World Is A Terrible Place Poem by shakil ahmed

World is a Terrible Place



World is a terrible place
Everything is mortal here
Men are puppets in the hands of fate
Always groan in agony and fear
Happiness is like occasional guest
Comes like dew drops of morning
And departs with the advent of sun
Like the phantoms of dark night.
Here, young becomes awfully old
With the passing of months and years
Our new and profound love gets rusted
Giving us only drops of colourless tears
Ugly death suddenly extends its hand
Without any gesture and premonition
We hear the cry of agonized soul
In every lane and by lane of this planet.
We believe in unseen and invisible God
His gorgeous heaven and terrible hell
We don't know where we shall reach
After embarking on death's vessel,
