Song of Life
(a poem by Shakil Ahmed)

Myriad problems surround us
Like the flocks of howling hound
Often pierce us like sharp prickle
When fear encircles us from all round
In chilling december nights
Drops of sweat dribble like monsoon rain
We pass insomniac nights
To find solution in vain
Nightmare looms large
In the dead of ghostly night
We pine for solace
And eagerly wait for radiant light
We are lone and feeble in this crowded inn
Standing always at the point of gun
But gloom of weary night vanishes
With the light of rising sun
Life is a miracle and a gift of God
Troubles are part of life
Life is not possible in this planet
Without grief and strife.
Fill your chaotic life
With dreams in abundance
Never lose hope
Even in moments of utter despondence.
