You Are My Light (Wrote As A Comment On Abhilasha Bhatt's Poem Tum Ho Meri Roshni)
When love came suddenly as beams of light,
the dark room of heart sometimes became a sun,
sometimes it became a moon,
I became restless as a sea in tide,
life and death both got a meaning,
life my beloved and death my bride,
what a magic is love!
At the moment my beloved is into my arms,
but I am fully prepared for my bride's soothing charms,
I assure you my bride after I kiss you,
I shall smile with peace, an immortal smile,
but as long as my beloved is with me,
I am now moderate,
My life a delight,
no more a sun so bright,
no more a moon raising the tides,
In love I am twinkling like a star,
the journey that started at dusk,
making me an evening star,
I know will end at the dawn,
I shall see my end as a morning star.
A simply wonderful poem of love. I am sure Abhilasha must have loved this little one :) A fine gift to a poet from another poet. Thank you Akhtar sahab.
A lovely poem. There are times when I wish I could experience the things you write of so ideally.

A beautiful poem Jawad sahab. I loved how you explained the journey of life from starting at the dusk and ending in the morning. It is the opposite of what we usually see, but it sends such a wonderful message. Rabindranath Tagore has a song called 'তোমার হলো শুরু/আমার হলো সারা' (You are beginning, I am finishing) . Somehow, this poem reminded me of that. When one journey ends, another begins. Thanks for sharing sir.
