Oh candle, all the night you cried for me ! All the night you dropped tears for me, the precious tears which parted form your white lovely face ! You sacrificed for my excitement and tried to keep away the darkness and bring light and delight to my dark life . But oh candle ! When I woke up in the morning I felt that you had dirtied my room with your stoned tears . So I hastened on collecting your tears and threw them in the dustbin . So oh candle ! Only you know me better than anyone else, how unfaithful,   inhuman and unloving I am .   Dedicated to    Lillian Elliott By: Abdul Wadood Basharyar
