Dogs- "Faiz Ahmad Faiz"

These Canines: Stray and waste
Doomed to beg and feed
A saving, amounting to time's scoldings
An earning of world's off-shooing.

No rest at night, nor comfort at dawn;
Gutter for residence, and garbage for home.
Make them fight, one-another if deviant;
Show them morsels, give them a bite.

They feed on everyone's kicks;
They're dead, fed-up unfed.
Humans are sure, to forget all ego and pride;
These trodden creatures, if raise their head.

If they wish, they can own the world;
And chew their masters up to their bones.
Someone remind them of the inflicted insults
Someone awake them of sleeping impulse..
