Alladin's Lamp Poem by Bharati Nayak
Alladin's Lamp
Oh, what was I searching for
Tirelessly with incessant labour
Sometimes with hope, sometimes fears
With questions hinging over
Whether gone vain all these years
Without realising that
My happiness lies in my lap
LikeAlladin's magic lamp
Genie is hiding there
Totake me out of the drab and den of dark
andfly me to the land of wonder
Whengloomand despair
Envelop me
I rub the lamp and call the Genie
To guide me to the land of light
And fill my heart
With hope, love and delight.
A brilliant poem! A few words articulated at the end are so commendable...5 stars
All these years! ! ! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
I am happy when I want to be happy, I am gloomy when I want to be gloomy, I am crazy when I want to be crazy, I am sleepy when I want to be sleepy, I blame others when I dream being affected by an external joy, stress or frustration.
