Yet another expression of the enigma of wars and bloodshed.

Why, Oh Why

Why is this flower so sad,
Why do the dewdrops on 
Its petals seem like teardrops 
Of the sky? Why, oh why 
Does the sky cry? Why are 
The wingtips of the butterfly 
So red, as it supped on the 
Flower, sucked the nectar 
That from its roots extruded?
For buried deep, ages deep, 
Beneath the flowerbed 
Are the warriors and their 
Battlefields soaked in blood 
Uselessly shed, reeking 
Of wars of the holy books
That have lied about the 
Divine intent to glorify the
Deeds of evil men of dread;
I know now why the flower’s sad, 
The dewdrops like teardrops
Of the sky, the tinted red of
The butterfly -- all that need 
Never have been, but will be
Again, to ask: why, oh why?

Poetic, philosophical explanation of times's fusion.

Book Of Ages Past

Incredulous of relating tales of love and recall of memories.

227. Mohabbat-ki-Baaten

Mohabbat  ki baaten kyaa bataaun mein tujhe,
Kitne diye jale the kitne diye bujhe;

Ulfat ke alfaaz kyaa sunaaun mein tujhe,
Kitne lafz nikle the kitne lafz pohonche tujhe;

Yakeenan kahetaa hun mein na bhooloon ga tujhe,
Arre itnee yaadon se yaad aur kaun karegaa tujhe.


Calcutta:			26 November 1987


Tales of Love

What tales of love should I speak of,
How many flames were lit,
How many flames, extinguished!

What words of love should I speak to you,
How many words did stream from my lips,
How many words did reach you!

But I assure you, I shall never forget you,
O, how many with such remembrances
Would ever remember you!
