LONE

LONE

The despised bright Sun on a sunny noon

That shining star in the night sky, so aloof

The tiny green on the autumn twig

Each drop of rain immiscible in ‘tween

The river atop the highest height

Tied by string is the flying kite!

The nothingness of darkness and vacuum

All narrate their tales very sad and lone.

Precious, pristine and pure

Our bond le amour

We waited, we yearned

Now eternally bound

Vows and oaths are mere words

Rituals, traditions and customs

We are together for reasons beyond

Our love and trust, above all

Happy, elated and blessed

By the people who matter more than rest

My love, my supernova

Its an immense joy

To be approvingly yours

To each other we belong!

To be right, to be wrong

To stop or walk along

An “yes” or a “no”

Nothing to much ado

To think or act

Faith or the facts

Whats myth isn’t real

Real isn’t clear

Time is the constant

Life is not

Moments are here and now

To be headstrong or bow

Choices are defined

The heart or the mind?

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

Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

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
