A Seized Black Pearl

To leave me, when your have gone;
So, today, I have made you disown.

From my love’s right and passions
My heart is just like expectations

And likes a seized black pearl
This compares to the life of a girl

I am lasting for her and feel so blue
Because, to refuse her, I have no clue

This pearl is condensed tear of my eyes
I always talk to myself in choked voice

O Mankind!

O mankind!
Thou hast been created
For the defense of humanity
But, today, art thou mad?
Hast thou gone astray?
Or hast thou been misled
By thy religious orthodox
God created a human-being
And filled the same blood in everybody
But, thou hast altered it
Into Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Christian
Thou may be a follower of any religion
But thou must be a human-being first

The World – In Gripped Of Inhumanity

Even since, the world has come
In gripped of evils being free
The world and I, both have made a sum
In which sincere and liars are to see

This sum has a glance of feeling
That sees nothing a man but a human
To make mine, I have to make dealing
Who may help me in it, I found none

Dealing is the sign to join one to another
All are human being and should be only human
It is he who learns me it all, is my father
We have been created only for our own nation

We are to try to be dedicated to our country
And build such a motherland upon the earth
As may send her message beyond boundary
And we will be totally nationalist since our birth

Thy Face Is Matchless

Love O Love! O my Love
Thy face is matchless

As the imagination of the poet
As the desires of a lover
As the need of thirsty man
As the dew of morning
Thy face is matchless

Thy eyes – like a tavern
Thy lips – like the wine-glass
Thy cheeks – like the mirror
Thy locks – like the black clouds
Thy face is matchless

All the bloomed flowers are ashamed
After looking at thy face
The withered lotuses have bloomed
Seeing the shining of thy forehead
Thy face is matchless

These yawnings of thy awaking
These forgettings in thy love
These shadows of thy love
These clarinets of thy voice
Yet, thy face is matchless

Listen! O Human Beings

O human beings!
Many uncountable religious books
Have been sent for you

It is fair, so, let me say
Many followers accepted all theses books
But you did not regard them

You regarded the Al-Qur’an
But you did not heed
The quotations of this holy book

You accepted The Ramayana
But you did not follow
The verses of the Ram-fiction

You believed in Guru-Grantha
But you did not adopt
The comments of the Guru preaching

You believed in The Bible
But you did not imitate
The preaching of The Adam Book

Having seen all these things
Tears condensed in the layers of eyes
Alas! Books are yours, verses not yours
