Rashid Meras Pillai Poems

Autumn, thy dwindling leaves,
And every moment as it leaves;
Thoughts, reluctant to heed,
Between joy and pain, they sway.
...

Work is worship,
Says the days that have leaped;
As we sowed,
So we have reaped.
...

Nations are fighting each other in war,
Deep in my heart, I have a fear.
Love and kindness going far,
Is the doomsday near? Is the doomsday near?
...

The morning sun came with a new message
A message of hope for the new age
Our thoughts and ideas are like birds
Let it out of the cage
...

Strangled I stay,
and estranged, alone I sway.
Life, someone calls it a bliss,
A sensuous kiss,
...

We come from darkness and go into darkness
But our life is colourful on this earth
But there are people who live in darkness
Right from the time of their birth
...

Clouds appeared with a sweet chord,
And wind played a pleasing tune.
In the heavenly blue court,
Elegantly danced monsoon.
...

Though deluded, still I perceive,
Glittering life, a flickering flame.
Time is changing,
Still time is the same.
...
