THE WEDDING DAY

Twittering of birds did not intercept his slumber,
A little stirring in the house woke him from his torpor.
 His mind spun around arrangements of the morning,
Halted in the taste of tea first time she had prepared for him.
The possibility of meeting in the banquet all people he earned,
 With his goodness throughout his life, exited his mind.

All the tasks were given to the caterers and the tent-house teams,
Still he went on inspecting and supervising every bit of them.
 He kept his eyes on the preparations of the home of the bridegroom,
Besides meeting every necessary requirements of his own home.
The anxiety of the arrival of the procession of a bridegroom,
Outweighs the success news of a kidney or liver transplantation.*

He wished to sit all day long unmoved before his daughter,
And watch her decorated in traditional bridal attire.
Responsibilities pushed him out, threw him into sundry chores,
On each movement, his feet and eyes dragged him towards her.*
Heart remained inside her room and body was obliged to actions,
The corner of an eye flew at intervals spontaneously in her directions.*

It was a big day regarding its length and import
Begins before the sun resumed its tour until after midnight,
The bands, the fireworks, the orchestra, dances of kids,
The dinner of the congregation all made the function colored.   
When the new couple left and the last soul in the wedding hall depart,
His feet halted, body stretched on a couch, eyes shut in contentment.*



The *rd things only a man who has given the hand of her daughter in marriage can understand.
