Harbhajan Singh Poems

Where did the sisters go
Where did the mothers depart?
...

Take it my daughter
this tumbler of glass
fill it with the flame from the hearth
close to your being
...

When you sprout as grass
from the earth,
I'll be close by - a lot like you
...

That I may be reborn as a human
in Punjab,
to this very land I may return
To this hacked, chewed up earth,
...

Who is it
Who's entered my heart
the flute's bitten the dark night
we've been caressed by a song
...

Mother hadn't gone anywhere
From the early morn to the timed out dusk
She had worked herself to exhaustion
Having finished a long day's work
...

A still settled night 'twas
You were, I was
and the fear there was
...

Before being wife and husband, we had met
in our town like two suns we had sat together
in an alien home
...

Sleep my angel the darkness rules
The star-awaited dawn is drowned in gloom
The miasma of death hangs over the world
The mehfils have dispersed
...

Shamsi I invoke your name
And spread out like fragrance
When I see your face - the sun
...
