Why should I write a poem?
Jab man mein ho na koi tarang
And the wheel of life spins
Casting a multitude of totems
Of the numerous concepts formed each day,
And washed away like a sand castle.
I sit by the shore,
And gaze at the ramnants
Of my many tiny hopes
And mark the meaninglessness, of the words I swore
Tao mon bole abar phire chal
Cuz if you have loved once,
You can sing the same old songs.
Chahe dil toota hi sahi
Yet pay heed to the heart that longs
Of the by-gone days
Whose vibes runs though your veins.
Why should I write a poem?
When my tunes may get lost
Into the ocean of voices so vast
No price really paid for the exhaust
Of the memoirs put across the wall
Kono ek meghe dhaka shokal
Reminds me there arn't just darker shades
That could be captured
The incessantly blissful,gleaming eyes
Tales of joy that is nurtured
Of my starry eyed four legged princess,
Joy walks around me, its an instance.
Why should I write a poem?
When I dont often sing the hymns
And often get caught in the realm
Though interesting it may seem
Of the mundane chores
That sometimes agonizes my soul
Amar jhilmile shonar din guli,
Failure to realise so would be so silly
Happiness has donned a new shift
Coffees and conversations are the things
Of the many memories we together paint,
A different flavour though, love hasn't gone taint.
Kehte hain, guzarta waqt lautke phir nahi aata
Tao keno shudhu purnono sriti ke aakriye rakha?
There is poetry this very insignificant event,
Open the eyes of your heart, you may just miss the second.
