Betrayer Poem by shakil ahmed

Betrayer

She wore bangles in a fateful day
All her friends became happy and gay
Mark of vermilion was put in her forehead
The veil, she wore, was red
Beautician adorned her in a befitting manner
Guests were enjoying sumptuous dinner
Her heart was trembling with fear
How will be her life-partner?

Everybody enjoyed the festive day
Except her, everybody was gay
Life was going in a mixed way
Sun rose in her home, but without ray
She gave birth a child after a year
Everybody came to greet her with cheer.

In a chilling night of December
She woke up from deep slumber
And she could remember
That in dream, ‘there comes her lover’
He was crying and yelling, ‘Betrayer’
You promised to live with me for ever
Now I will believe you never
‘You are a betrayer –
You are a betrayer’
