As each drop of Kunar River cry for Him
Toru Honda
When in 2007 we visited your dormitory in Nangarhar
You turned your warm face to us and just said
"Please stroll around our canal."
After having accomplished such a great deed you kept your humility and taciturnity
That long canal with willow branches swaying in the breeze
Looked as if it was a paradise depicted in Koran
It flowed down gently replenishing the thirst and hunger of multitude
Vast lush land and cool shades this canal have created
Will certainly sustain lives of hundred-thousands of people
Who for so long have suffered from protracted warfarebr
Dear Our Hakim Nakamura
Your spirit will forever live in the land of Afghan with us
Like the beautiful yellow flower of Chambalhar
