Alladin's Lamp Poem by Bharati Nayak

Alladin's Lamp

Rating: 4.6


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.

I say it is really a beautiful poem. It is poem on life and dream with hope. Example of Alladin's Lamp is interesting. It is based on philosophy. The beginning stanza is enchanted. The last stanza is much impressive.. Thank you very much with full vote.

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.

To be content with what we have; and yet, not to sever our dreams...what balance of inner strength it requires...A powerful poem!
