STAGNANT

STAGNANT

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE 

Not to, neither fro

Feet stuck in quicksand

Down, down, down below

Sinking like the tempest struck cargo

High, high, high above

Black clouds blanket upon

Huff, puff, panting fast

Heart beats loud and clear

Sniff, sniff, tears roll

Last cry, a painful pierce

Dreams crumble and crash

Every effort dumped to trash

Away, away, away you run

Things done cannot be undone

Near, near, very near I see

My loneliness engulfing me

Back, back, back again,

In the warps of emptiness

Silence encroaches in void end

DESTINED

DESTINED

"Zehnaseeb" Lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya

English Translation

Thou art my life, to you i am destined and bound

For you i care with feelings abound

In my heart you reside, you are the love newfound

For you i care with feelings abound

Every moment with you is my precious prize

Times away from you is a sad struggle and stride

Together we are by some mysterious chimes!

Heartily pauper by this royal fate divine

No wordly plea, only you are my dreams

In your eyes, our abode i see

A slice of smile, or a drop of tear...

Come what may, we both will share

A wilful choice, our fate divine

A cupid’s play without reason or rhyme

Against all odds, its turned into a sweet amorous wine
