ONE MAN’S DESIRE

Order!

Commander’s order, Captain’s decision

Even after the ceased fire in the battle

The warriors are assembling

Not let them free towards the camp.

Dancers and singers among the soldiers

Anyone neither dances nor sings tonight

Remains eagerly only chatting and jabbing

Unless they get another words from the captain

Everyone has included within one decision.

I could remember my camp

Clearly known the route of the map

Still wondering alone

Without firing single a bullet from my gun.

Seems the war is yet not over

But the weapons screwed up themselves

Night becomes wilder among the warriors

Severer than the last 135 minutes of the battle

Blows up everyone by shock and frustration

We don’t know why

Today commander doesn’t ignore captain’s word

Captain just a follower like us

We salute to the commander whenever war comes.

Don’t let me utter anything

I enjoy over again and again

Both war and battle

Not die hurry for my camp tonight.

Break it up, if you could breaking the rules

Even they’re not the deserters with me

Being to surrender next 45 minutes unwillingly

Still we’re belonging to one man’s desire

Unpleasantly respect to the captain’s decision.

"THE COLORS OF THE SARI AND I"

I respect thee

With fear and honor!

Please don’t tell my words to anyone

Which I genuinely said you are beautiful!

Passionate was I in the moonlit night,

In the hills, flowers, trees, in women;

Today it is not that story

The colors of the Sari:

Makes me to stare, mesmerized me

For all time I want to set my eyes on thee

Thy colors of Sari

I saw thee in the dim tube light

During the night and in the twilight

Adorned with different colors of Sari

As we were guided a little

Not on Sunday but on other days

Like the most scented flowers

 From Monday to Saturday

Like thabal of late night (moonlight)

Your sari

Tells me a story

Don’t know whether you narrate it to others...

The day you were embellished with chandan color Sari

Coming from the temple

Like a pious Hindu lady

I saw you quite decent

But no:

You must have gone to the Church

I would like to ask a question to my mother

For why there is not a sister for me

I would have seen them wearing the sari

Like you quite modest and fairy

As there was none I am not able to see anyone...

If you have given me the assent

Let me to utter repeatedly

Which I said your are beautiful

Along with thy colors of sari

I could have seen you everyday

If I were able to live 1095 days

Not on Sunday but on other days

With new sari of yours

But don’t know for this concluding

Shadowy life’s journey...

Without any ornamentation

Every day you were looking fairy

Adorned cautiously only with that sari

Like the red rose petals that had not fallen ever

 Of early winter morning

Wet with the dew drops

Once I’ve seen

Painted with mahendi on thy palm

But never seen twice...

At times you dressed up with attires of little girls

 And I saw you talking and laughing

On the side where I was not there

I wanted to chat with you like a friend

In a manner which I feel like a child

But I didn’t say:

Because I always remember

Who am I and where I am

 I never forget such questions...

Rain of the rainy season, twilight of the winter,

Night of the summer, the day of the New Year,

The season of autumn, the journey of spring season

Full moon and new moon:

Repeatedly they will come

When their turn comes...

My past and passing days of three years

Won’t come again and again like theirs...

End await for me,

This story also will come to an end

This stare also will perish:

Thy new colors of sari too

Left only with remembrance on me

Like twilight it will become darker one day

The day 1095 days end...

I who is fond of black color

Await the day

You adorn with black color sari

Again I plea to thee

With fear and honor

Please don’t tell my words to anyone

Which I genuinely said you are beautiful!

"BLACK ROSE"

•         

Red roses, pink roses, yellow roses,

White roses; why don't you sell the black roses?

Don't stare me with your chloroformic view,

I can’t be bondage of you,

Teach me not about love,

I understood the gestures you’re giving me,

Let not a woman in my life,

Could you sell me a black rose today?

If you keep me a promise for that,

I’ll propose you to become my better half,

What you think is not my thoughts,

Let me say ‘I love you’ when I give you a black rose.

Because…

I'm not an ordinary man. . .
