Death Poem by shakil ahmed

Death

Death will engulf us
It is certain
If you strive to dodge it
It will be vain.

Life is a fidgety odyssey
We persist here for a cursory while
Some retire in old age
Some retire while they are agile

Nobody perceive the time
When the clarion call will come
It doesn't differ-whether a king
Or a dweller of a slum.

People say death is painful
But nobody knows what really is
One who departs the other world
Never returns to share his views.

It is said in other world
There are heaven and hell
But it is an age-old mystery
That nobody can tell.

It's a sojourn journey
No one accompanies man
Only good deeds go
Among his chosen fan.

Nature of man is that
Everyone wants an easeful death
Some may get it
When he takes his last breath.
