Our Sweet Song
(a poem by Shakil Ahmed)

Our sweet songs fade in the horizon
Like the setting sun
Without resunding its melody
Over the valleys and hills of earth
Joy comes with pomp and grandeur
Crossing the desert of thousand miles
Our frail body and perturbed self
Become young and agile
But soon it deperts
Staying only for a brief while
Standing in this crowded inn
We brim with fear and grief
Some like lion cubs roar in loud voice
Forgetting the tragic doom
That waits ahead with its revenous mouth
Like fixed and rigid mountain
To devour their body and flesh
Don't moan ruminating your buried past
Don't be restless
Enduring the torments of present life
Be bold and hopeful
To flourish in peace and glory
Through out the coming years.
