Will I have wings
White fluffy feathers
As tall as I
I'll stretch my wings as far as I can
Flap them
Preen then clean them

Make sure there dry
Now my wings are in fine condition
My white robe clean and
Sparkling white
My hallo

Nesstle upon my head
To my charge I am placed to look after him/her
To follow them to take care
My duty to protect
Him/her
Am now
An angel
Heaven sent

Day will come I'll be dead,
Placed with grace into grave,
Heart and feeling I'll mingle
Mingle with cold of the sand…
Worms my heart will beset
Feed voracious on flesh,
To no avail will be sobbing
Of beautiful haired I loved,
To no avail will be wailing
Of violets – sisters of mine.
To no avail will be downfall
Of stars to the plain from above,
To no avail river’s howling,
Rushing from downstream high,
To no avail fall of cracked rock
Down to grove where it’s stuck…
Oh, woe is me, I won’t see them
Turned into the dead as am I.

1886

You ever walk among a crowd
But feel you don't exist
Looking around
There are couples everywhere
Wondering if someday
"Will that be me?"
Then realizing
No one even notices you exist
Some, Like us,
Exist only because
We are strong
Threw thick
Or thin
Pain
Or happiness
We know
This life
Is temporary.

Death is not thee end
Fear it
See it
Feel it
It happens every day around you
Sitting back you realize
Some day you will be called
For some where out beyond the distant stars
A new life awaits
Away from the harm of this world
No more pain
No more suffering
Close your eyes and dream
Your biggest dream
Happiness will find you
Be free forever more.

The road is short
The flashing light sound
Do I cross or do I go
The barriers decend

Quick time to cross
Oh dear am stuck
I push and pull
I cannot move

Oh dear I've pushed my
Luck
Th re in the distance it draws near
Faster faster it draws near
Crash bang


The angels decend
To gods resting place I asend
My new wings I collect my hallo

I have gaind
For I've pushed my luck again :-) ----------,

Consumed with grief I am, I get relief in no way
O circumambient waters of the Ganges drown me

Our land foments excessive mutual enmity
What unity ! Our closeness harbors separation

Enmity instead of sincerity is outrageous
Enmity among the same barn’s grains is outrageous

If the brotherly breeze has not entered in a garden
No pleasure can be derived from songs in that garden

Though I exceedingly love the real closeness
I am upset by the mixing of waves and the shore

The miraculous poet is like the grain from the barn
The grain has no existence if there is no barn

How can beauty unveil itself if no one is anxious for sight
Lighting of the candle is meaningless if there is no assembly

Why does the taste for speech not change to silence
Why does this brilliance not appear out from my mirror

Alas! My tongue poured its speech down
When war’s fire had burnt the garden down

LOVE AND DEATH (Adapted From Lord Alfred Tennyson)



The hour of the Universe' appearance was charming
The flower-bud of life was showering smiles

Here the golden crown, the sun was getting
There the moon its moon-light was getting

The dark gown to the night was being given
Training of brightness to stars was being given

The Existence's branch was getting leaves here
The bud of life was bursting out there

The angels were teaching weeping to the dew
For the first time the rose was laughing

They were conferring pathos on the poet's heart
Khudi for the wine of Bekhudi was pining 2

For the first time dark black clouds were appearing
As if some Houri of Paradise with open hair was standing

The earth was claiming elegance of the sky
The space was claiming to be boundless

In short so beautiful the sight was
That seeing it in itself a panorama was

The angels their flying powers were testing
Eternal lights from their foreheads were appearing

An angel called Love there was
Whose guidance everyone's hope was

The angel who the embodiment of restlessness was
Angel among angels and restless like mercury he was

He was going towards the Paradise for a stroll
He met death on its way by the destiny's roll

He asked death, "What is the name and work of yours?
I do not want to encounter the face of yours"

Hearing this said the angel of death
"My work is clear, I am the angel of death

I shatter the chattels of existence
I extinguish the spark of life

The magic of annihilation is in my eyes
The message of destruction is its symbol

But there is one entity in the Universe
It is fire, I am only mercury before it

It lives in the human heart as a spark
It is the darling of the Divine Light

It constantly drips as tears from the eyes
The tears whose bitterness is tolerable"

When Love heard this from the death's lips ,
Laughter started appearing from its lips

The thunder of such smile descended on death
How can darkness stay in front of such light?

On seeing eternity to death it fell
Death it was, to death it fell.

You have dreamed of living in the shining stars
You have dreamed of flying to the glamorous sky

If, i could, if i could be your dream, day after day
I wanna be where you are, day by day

Believe in me,believe in you, Hey i wanna fly just like the butterfly
Let me take you there, more higher, more higher....

The Hope Love Gives

I see you in my dreams each night,
I forget that you have gone away,
Until the break of the morning light,
Then I struggle with another day.

It is in dreams where we meet again,
Where I touch your cheek and know
That you await beyond the pain
Where love and mercy ever flow.

These dreams are His gift to me,
Where stars above a sandy beach
Are the same ones we used to see,
But you are now beyond my reach.

Beyond doubt I know you live on,
Because my love for you still lives,
For if truly you were ever gone,
Then gone would be the the hope love gives.

Her beauty never rests,
Even though she's gone,
But as long as she's remembered,
It will shine on and on.
