Eyes Journey

Overview

Exiled to Cairo, chasing knowledge under foreign skies. The first, bound by poverty’s tight chains, Struggles with grit as he studies by day and dreams by night. In the lecture halls, he meets a classmate — And love, tender and true, blossoms between them. Their families, across lands, bless the union, As music stirs his soul — he sings, And the college stage becomes his first triumph. But the second, lured by life’s temptations, With gold in hand, forgets the path he came to tread. Pleasure consumes him, and promise fades — And failure, silent and cold, becomes his only companion.
