Vivek Haldar

I could not meet the one who departed,
The words in my heart could not be spilled over,
The moonlight could not enlighten my soul
and the Moon moved miles away from me
...

Once concealed by the deep forest,
the path has been hidden in the dark
In to that depth suddenly a voice cried out,
'don't you recognize me',
...

No, I won't call you by my voice,
I will call you through my Soul and bring you near,
How can this union be brought about?
As Jamuna enters into the Ganges?
...

I dreamt that she sat by my head, tenderly ruffling my hair with
her fingers, playing the melody of her touch. I looked at her face
and struggled with my tears, till the agony of unspoken words burst
my sleep like a bubble.
...

You never have to leave now
I don't have to travel to you
You don't have to hide
I don't have to miss you ever
...

My heart has been shattered by my broken dreams.
My sadness has been to its extreme,
How can my beloved love shatter my own world?
What is this life?
...

When my suffering is unending
how can you attain salvation
What if i escape this birth
and never meet you again
...

I am the one who has fallen in your eyes,
O! God I have fallen from your world,
I was the one who went away from you,
and i now i have lost everything;
...

These are my own Deeds, my own actions,
which has been traveling on my shoulders;
My fate has been written by you,
then who are my deeds to decide it;
...

My soul is unsatisfied,
My mind comes with no peace,
Come close to me O! unattainable one!
Please surrender yourself to the immortal bonds,
...

O! Mother, Who calls you a prostitute?
Is someone calling you not chaste!
Is this world now asking you about your purity?
Where was this world when you were drowned into this ocean,
...

My lost soul needed answers
and when no answers were found
i roamed around aimlessly
people called me by names
...

O! My love
Your eyes are so beautiful,
that i have become their lover,
Please captivate me inside them my love,
...

Day upon day my heart keeps falling deeper,
into the pain of your sorrow;
Your cruel heart has become weary of me now,
You have left me alone, but your sorrow remains;
...

He would even eat the covering of a hair's skin,
If he gets, he would eat even months and years,
He would eat even the remaining well-being of someone unwell,
He would eat even the sadness of an untimely dying heart,
...

Please don't say those words,
because they don't mean anything;
Please don't utter anything,
because i have lost the power of understanding;
...

O! You Kumhar Please help me shape up my life,
as it has been turned into a shapeless kingdom;
O! You Mallah Please help me reach my home,
as my life has become a random destination;
...

That was not love,
that faintly sweet scent
wafting into
my consciousness.
...

...

O! My love,
I look for love in your eyes, when our eyes meet,
My heart has lost control now,
Love is now eternal in my life,
...
