Akham Nilabirdhwaja Singh Poems

On a foggy day in winter
I wandered long
riding my bicycle
down the countryside.
...

Captivated by her
On a fine day
I longed to write a poem
On her beauty.
...

At the crossroad
I was knocked down
by the galloping horse.
Past me it sped
...

Seeing your shabby portrait
of old age
I remembered once long ago
how you captivated me
...

Lying on a stretch sofa
one holiday
the officer in his fifties
dreamt of a village belle
...

This night listening
to the melancholic song of tamna
(Tamna - a singing bird)
from the distance
...

In that rainy night
near her home
at the distance
a lone electric lamp shone;
...

At the beginning he danced
To the tune of the audience.
Painstakingly
In different styles
...

In the cold winter morning
the village road was quiet.
Ricksaw puller Tolmu was then fast sleeping
on the grass at the roadside
...
