Having Taken Wine, What Have You Done? When Will You Leave Daru? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Have you thought, if not, go
And see your face in the mirror,
What have you
After taking wine
And that too without taking food,
Day and night,
Cheaper country liquor,
Not one time,
But all times,
Even in the empty stomach?

The lips appear they burnt and white,
The reaction of the spirits that I can see,
The liver functioning it not well
And the doctor too has given you the warning
And it is going to be the last chance
If leave you not,
Taking wine,
Control you not yourself,
Keep you drunk all the times,
Always,
Putting no limit to the habit.

The face appears it to be pale and bloodless,
Blood turned into water
As for drinking hard,
Drinking all the times,
All the times drunk,
Under the intoxication of,
No question of leaving it,
Promises he, but leaves it not God-sent nectar,
Sometimes rebuffs he as
For being given knowledge and wisdom
As the good thoughts likes he not to hear,
A thief hearing God’s name.
