I Won'T Die Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari
I Won'T Die
why it seems so dark
though my heart is on fire
might be because
I’ve been inventing lies
out of the illusive truth
I’ve been a man of heart
ignored the continuous buzz
of my intuitive mind
did things right or wrong
but did that fearlessly
whatever my heart dictated me
now you call me a fool
that I don’t use my mind
o’ my love!
you know not
I won’t die
if you would abandon me
in the midst of this dark night
you know not
a single man of heart
can be worth than
thousands of clever and wise
I don’t repent loving you
I don’t even curse you
for presenting to me
this eternal pain of severance
yet I say; don’t worry
I won’t die
you know not
my love has the power
to make heavens cry
and you couldn’t even make
a broken heart smile
believe you me
still I would live
and I won’t die
if you would see me
in some other space
in the centuries to come
I would be holding my aching heart
inside my frail chest
and would be greeting everybody
with an everlasting smile
and would be whispering to you
please don’t feel bad for me
I won’t die

The whole poem soaked with grief...but you wring out the grief from those lines sportingly with a smile...'i won't die albeit love dies out'...the poem is great for the attitude it brings out...10

this poem somehow reminded me of raj kap[oor's 'mera naam joker.' i liked the objectivity with which this is written. the refrain adds to the strength of the poem...
