Shahabuddin Nagari Poems

Also give me a river with cool continuous flowing water
I will swim in the water and in the moon light
I’ll touch the blue sky and become green, drink
Black cloud and become a vast waterbed, I’ll break
...

People will fill bottles with essence of roses or orchid
They’ll throw away hidden bombs and bullets of pistols
And will decorate flower baskets on their own hands.
...

Every year when I show balance sheet of loan, you say-
I’ll clear all this year. But Invitation card of the Year-end
And New Year is sent back from your address
...

A powerful cold wind, of freezing nature
Blew inland from the ocean and rocked Frankfurt city
The sky is plastered with thick pieces of dark cloud
As if somebody kept the slices like butter dexterously
...

Bring on my palm a twin cranes
I’ll give you love, fragrant kiss,
With wizardly game, moonbeam will fall down
From your eyes
...

Cool spear pierces the heart of winds. I walk in the avenues
Moon's body wakes up on a new footpath
Hard shells of snails rock on the swing of memory
I cannot hide this naked body in the shells
...

In winter the trees shed leaves, in spring flowers bloom
There’s a lots of sweet memory, Follies were shelved
Addition do not harmonize, its two plus two is three.
I remember I’m aging, that’s why its birthday.
...

Water was in the west, sand shoals in the east
In the north dream built illuminated abode
In the south countless roses bloomed
...

If you bury your love
Flowers will bloom on the grave
Fragrance will be felt from far
Flowers turn into love
...

Lights were all switched off in all the houses of Shantiniketan
Whole day’s toil and weariness touched all the eyes
Everybody slept. Stage was prepared under the tree
Renowned songsters, researchers and professors
...
