Editor’s note: This group poem was written by Kabul writers at a recent workshop. Each writer contributed one line.
Mother is the inspiration of my world
The angel who exists in my heart
The paradise of light
The kindest creation
The nicest word
You are the only queen of my life’s land
You are the gift from Allah
All people should respect you
I can see the world inside my mother’s eyes
You are the world, you give me all the love in the world
You listen to me
You understand me
You hug me when I feel pain
When people hurt me, you are the one who makes me happy
Your kind heart and hands are God’s most beautiful creation
When I am sick and have fever
You are the one who does not sleep, but takes care of me
When I get married, I will have to suffer it alone
You have done many things for me
But I cannot do anything for you
I can just say,
“I love you, Mom.”
