Looking For You

You are an island in the sea of sorrow
Year after year I just dream of tomorrow
Now it's raining and the sky is cloudy
I sail my boat against the waves of sea

You are an oasis in the desert
I want you from the bottom of my heart
Now the midday's sun is burning like hell
I am thirsty and I'm not feeling well
I run after the mirage to quench thirst
Oh my hopes are like bubbles that just burst

I am lost in space and you are the earth
I feel boring I need some fun and mirth
Now my spaceship is crossing a black hole
I have gone for hyper dive to save soul
It seems I'm far away from Milky Way
I won't find you, it's like going ashtray

Joseph and Julekha

We were like ancient Egypt's Joseph and Julekha
You attracted me like Queen Cleopatra
But guilty feelings barred me again and again
From making love with you O my sweetheart

We were like Adam and Eve in paradise
But Satan has driven us out of there
By his black magical tricks

We were like two flowers on a branch of tree
A wild wind has blown us apart
From each other

We were like two birds singing a love song
A hunter has caught me by a horrible trap
Now he wants to sell me in the marketplace

Now we are like one soul having two bodies
Living in two separate worlds all day all night
With hopes and dreams like a dying supernova

Baby you are more beautiful

Baby you are so pretty
As if you are a full moon
No No No No No No
You are more beautiful

Baby you are so charming
As if you are a red rose
No No No No No No
You are more beautiful

Baby you are fantastic
As if you are a rainbow
No No No No No No
You are more beautiful

Baby you are attractive
As if you are a magnet
No No No No No No
You are more beautiful

My Worship Of Sorrow - Original By Rabindranath Tagore

My worship of sorrow is not yet over;
I shall lit up all the lamps of my sorrow
At the end of the day for my last prayer.

When birds return to the nest
In the shadow of the evening,
When the bell of evening worship is rung in the evening
Then this life will lit up its last flame-offer
And my worship of sorrow will be over.

So many words of my so many days
So many yearnings in so many ways
My mind is full of these things now-a-days!

When in the sacrificial fire
They will burn like the stars
And they will rush towards the sky ignoring barriers
Then my arrangement will match sunset’s color
And my worship of sorrow will be over.

Growth Rate

Two-digit growth rate
Is essential for
Least developed countries
To come out of
Vicious circle of poverty
Within a short timeframe
But it’s not the only precondition
For higher standard of living
Of the people
Since if a LDC achieve
Two-digit growth rate
But its majority of people remain poor
The country is considered
Under-developed

Therefore
The LDCs should try their best
To eliminate unemployment
And pseudo-unemployment
As much as possible

Ethnic cleansing

It doesn’t matter what my faith is.
It doesn’t matter what my caste is.
It doesn’t matter what my complexion is.
It doesn’t matter where I live.
Above all I am a human
That should be taken into account.

The wise saying:
United we stand
Divided we fall
Is ignored
By so many people!

O the angry mob
Please don’t go for ethnic cleansing
Please don’t shed blood of another human
In the name of religion or whatever else.

Irrespective of your faith
Why don’t you think

My honey's mind

Where shall I find
The thing that makes her pleased?
O God! Where shall I find?
How can I steal my honey's mind?

Even birds will cry no doubt
Cause I am singing aloud
Even for me it’s hard to believe
I am trying to steal her mind! Have I become a thief?

How much I love her how to express?
Words are too few and life is endless!

Please take a look at my mind -
How many prayers come and go there
Because of my cares for her?

How can I forget the pain to hide truth?
And I am getting older fading away youth!
And I know nowhere

Baby you are my soul mate

Baby you are my soul mate
But now it seems it's too late

O those old days were so great
Then secretly we could date
But now we can't change our fate
Coz now it seems it's too late

Sometimes we had tete-a-tete
I stared at you when you ate
You were like my heaven's gate
But now it seems it's too late

Your love has turned into hate
Coz you are now so upset
Your thought now makes my eyes wet
Coz now it seems it's too late

Everything is not said yet
Read my poems in internet

Day (Chapter 93, Holy Koran)

I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.

Swear upon the day
And the night when it is covered with darkness
Your Lord has neither forsaken you
Nor has He felt dismay
Your future is better than your bygone days
Moreover your Lord will shortly
Give you something that will make you happy.
Didn't He find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Didn't He find you lost and show you the way?
Didn't He find you needy and make you rich after?
Therefore do not oppress any orphan
And if anyone asks for something
Do not rebuke the one
And as for the favors of your Lord, announce it to everyone.
