Gazals 18 Poem by Ershad Mazumder

1.
Death is a wine
All lives shall have to taste it
Grave is a room
All lives shall have to rest in it.

2.
Love is a bitter drink
if you think it a humanbeing
God is far away
if you do not feel it.

3.
Love is my fiance
Hate is her sister
I share them
In all weather.

4.
I see you
when I shut my eyes
I do not see you
when I open my eyes
I have gouged my
To see you
for the whole life.

5.
Keep my eyes open
when I am dead
Let me have a glance
of your beauty
for the last time.
