Seven Couplets of Asrar Chowdhury
UNPUBLISHED
These are seven of the many couplets I once wrote in a period of my life. These are the seven I could re-collect. The others met the fate of time. They got lost. They achieved nirvanaa!
The period during which I wrote these couplets is a period I would love to re-visit again, but would never want to re-live again!
Hope you all enjoy.
NB: If anybody wants to publish them, appreciate if you kindly let me know. Thanks.
I
This town has nothing more to offer but pain
Asrar, get up--it's time to leave and search for another oasis with rain
II
The language of the flowers is never easy to see
Asrar, sit up all night and think about the bee!
III
What do you get when you add fire and water?
Asrar, nobody knows till the taste gets bitter!
IV
That little boy in the street is crying, he seems to be blue
Asrar, Nay---It's You who's crying--he's just shedding the tears for you!
V
This world is nothing but a Deja vu
Asrar, whatever you've seen here, nothing's new!
VI
The Alchemist told you today the cause of your pain
Asrar, now hit the morning railroad, even if you die on that train!
VII
The Parwana has seen the Light; now it's too late
Asrar, there's nothing you can do-- simply Accept Your Fate!
