On seeing a shooting star,

A soldier in the war,

Wished for nothing but peace,

And back to his family he wanted to reach.

On seeing a shooting star,

An isolated person in the dinar,

Wished for his wife to come back home,

Otherwise he would remain forever alone.

On seeing a shooting star,

The child gazing at the moon afar,

Wished for nothing but his mother’s good health,

As she was his only wealth.

On seeing a shooting star,

And her husband lighting a cigar,

The wife wished for him to stop,

Otherwise his term of life would drop.

On seeing a shooting star,

And a mother with her child in the bazaar,

The lonely kid sitting across the road,

Wished nothing but for a comfortable home.

On seeing a shooting star,

We may sometimes wish for things which are bizarre,

And hope and wait for these to come true,

So that we can start afresh and anew.
