Hello again,
This is my first participation here in the English forum. I want to share a poem that touched me so deeply that it brings tears to my eyes. The last two lines are the touchiest ones. ‘Pity Me Not’ is a poem written by EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY. Surprisingly, my hands reached an Islamic poem written in the same pattern of ‘Pity Me Not’. What is interesting is that it is touchy too.
So, be ready to let your souls taste the beauty of the two poems.0

Pity Me Not
Pity me not because the light of day
At close of day no longer walks the sky;0
Pity me not for beauties passed away
From field and thicket as the year goes by
Pity me not the waning of the moon,0
Nor that the ebbing tide goes out to sea,0
Nor that a man's desire is hushed so soon,0
And you no longer look with love on me.0

This have I known always: love is no more
Than the wide blossom which the wind assails;0
Than the great tide that treads the shifting shore,0
Strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales.0
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn
What the swift mind beholds at every turn.0


THE ONE WRITTEN IN ITS PATTERN IS BY Wida Kamal FROM THE USA

Pity Me Not&0&

Pity me not
For the clothes I wear
Nor for the scarve
That covers my hair

Pity me not
For my black garb
My modest air
My humble heart.0

Pity me not
For my lack of speech
B/c my silent voice
Can always find a heart to reach.0

Pity me not
For my Muslim name
It is the sign of my honor
And the badge of my fame.0

Pity me not
And call me oppressed
B/c from society's norms
I'm differently dressed.0

Pity me not
But try to understand
That I love my religion
And I'm proud of who I am!0

Pity me not
For following the divine way
But pity those
Who have been led astray.0

Hopefully you enjoyed reading the poems. 0
