Faiz Ahmed Faiz as translated by Naomi Lazard.
If you look at the city from here.
If you look at the city from here
you see it is laid out in concentric circles
e
ach circle surrounded by a wall
exactly like a prison.
Each street a dog-run for prisoners,
no milestones, no destination, no way out.
If anyone moves too quickly you wonder
why hasn’t he been stopped by a shout.
If someone raises his arm
you expect to hear the jangling of chains.
