Burquawalli, Ji Chahta Hain Ki
Burquawalli, ji chahta hain ki ji bhar ke dekh loon,
Burquawalli, kya teer nazar hain, jakhmi jigar hain,

Jayanta Mahapatra and his poetry
The poetry of the absurd,
The poet as an absurdist
And his poetry as absurdism
...
I just could feel about the pain of the voice,
The pity of the words,
Loving me, leave me not,
Desert you me not,
...
Love me, love me, you just love me,
Love me, love me, you just love me,
You love me,
Just love me,
...
Forget me not, forget me not
Wherever go you
Remember me, just remember me
And I will be there
...
Just for the scorpion bite, Nissim, you turned into a great poet
Writing the very Indian poem
Of the very Indian countryside
And its people,
...
Nissim, you saw the patriot, the Indian patriot,
Ay, the follower of Gandhi
And his Gandhism as his mantra
Whispered into the ears of
...
The Jadavpur University campus and the coffee houses
And the Naxal aaddas,
o where,
Where
...
Why are they speeding,
Going in full speed,
Stopping not
On the highway
...
I just think of the lives pulsating in the flats,
Sky-kissing, tall and square,
Living in skyscrapers
With the lifts to go up and come down,
...
