A brief history of Pakistan
With their backpacks full of shallowness
the men in uniform arrive
commanded by generals cut out in tin
law makers made of straw.
People wait for the sun to die.
Happiness lives in the moon.

Eine kurze Geschichte Pakistans
Mit ihren Rucksäcken voller Seichtheit
kommen die Männer in Uniform
befehligt von Generälen aus Blech
Gesetzgebern aus Stroh.
Die Menschen warten, dass die Sonne stirbt.
Glück lebt im Mond.
Aus dem Englischen von Klaus Berr
