Rikki Das Poems

Ek tha murkh Lallu bhai,
Nahi tha uska koi lugai.
Subah subah nikla khake usne acchar,
Bhag gaya tha woh naadiya ke paar.
...

Are u worried of incidents in your past,
Has it disrupted your life like a bomb-blast.
Did your visions turned indistinct and foggy,
Are voices from your heart become unclear and noisy.
...

Every infant at birth thinks he could fly,
He believes blindly, his dreams could touch the sky.
A child is innocent, unaware of life's complexities,
He dreams high, whether he lives in small towns or large cities.
...

In the climax of a dark night
Escaping frost and chill with all my might,
Boarded down from my carriage, getting rid of my tension
Walked a while, stopped by a haunted mansion,
...

Set in early 19th century,
In the woods of southern canterbury
One traveller who walked almost a mile,
With luggages behind, he was marching ahead with style
...

In some urban locality of Pakistan
Spreaded the ill principles of satan,
There was once a very treacherous broker
He had an indecent association with an evil kidnapper,
...

To like the reaction of people who are surprised,
After the realization of that they are left completely despised.
It's that feeling that will hurt you like a trauma,
After departing all of a sudden with convincingly fake drama.
...

It truly makes one feel like a true heart winner,
When his companion asks him out for a candle light dinner;
The compassion is genuine and the soul finds itself electrified with sweet spark,
Leave aside, the stray dog outside that used to bark;
...

When often felt strong one sided efforts are all ending in vain,
This probably drives you crazy and you might feel like going insane.
Could this probably hurt you or inflict you tremendous pain,
Its when you realize the one you trusted is not a blessing, but certainly a bane.
...

Imagination is the gift to a human brain,
It can hold to down to Rampur or take to straight-away to Spain.
It can bring you success at levels of pinnacle,
Definitely enables you to work out miracles.
