I was born ignorant
what if I die in my ignorance?
With ignorance I came
with ignorance I shall go back.
To know more than I need to know
will make me restless.
I know what I need to know
when I am dying
I shall wish I could be born once again
and what happens after death
no eye witness I get.
You may be right
there may not be a life after death
but the pain of thinking
I shall not see my sweetheart once again
I shall not listen to her anymore
I shall not taste sweetness of her coral lips
I shall not clip a rose in her hairs and smell it
all are the touches and I shall be deprived of touches.
Death is painful,
a single pain,
but the pain of being deprived of all the five touches
may kill me five times.
So I want to die once.
only once.
May be my ignorance
still I believe,
I shall have another life after death.
Bring your years close to my mouth,
whatever living matter thought and believed
has been initially a fantasy
but finally a truth.
Yes, a living and breathing matter is mighty enough
one must salute his will power.
I hope my fantasy will be a fact
and doubt you get a life once again.
Die your death,
but please,
let me die a death of my own.
All of us are sad to leave this Earth! Definitely we will miss the love of our dear ones! The hope of another life is our only consolation! Thus man thinks of death with mixed feelings of fear and hope! You have tried your best to unravel the ambiguity of feelings one confronts on thinking about death!
whatever living matter thought and believed has been initially a fantasy but finally a truth......no one can deny this Die your death, but please, let me die a death of my own......a true fact similar to let me live a life of my own.....I salute Akhtar....

Coming to Earth has remained in ignorance and going from life through death is also ignorance. We often think and think to know. But finally a truth we realize in heart.Yes, a living and breathing matter a lot and life is mighty enough. This is an amazing and brilliant poem shared on life and death.10
