Abdul Wahab Fear Poems

Oh moon I would bow down
Or straight I would prostrate at your feet
If you could make me a poet
All day long I would
...

Once I was
dangerously desperate

bold like an ox and
strong like steel
...

At the dead hour of the night
I was shaking with severe cold
It was not fever when I checked
An uncanny fear gripped my soul
...

If we have gold we are in great fear
If we don't have anything we are in danger
And the sage says love is full of fear
Completely blind and has no reason
...

Strange Fear

In my yard have grown an idea
Like people grow the seed of weed
...

কোথাও যেন রেখেছিলাম গুঁজে
খুব সযত্নে
যত সব না পাওয়া গুলি
সোনার সুতলি দিয়ে বেঁধে
...

You do not fear
I know
yet there is a lingering desire inside
To have a hand over your head
...

The bird of the light
On its golden wings
Takes you on a flight
To visit a place where
...

In this world of danger
I fear myself more than anything else
In course of changing
I never know when my mood swings
...
