i never knew twas like this
this world this earth
this land of cries
ah! at my birth
what a sight i beheld
what a world i found myself in
so unlike the eden in the promise
i came with cries
albeit and i'll go with cries
i mourn my coming
you mourn my going
during my toil i cried
it came through pores in my skin
twas in my armpit
even from every part
i cried, oh! i cried
as i came to know
tis a world of cries i came
hamid kareem
