REFLECTIONS (3.0)

We all have our insecurities and limitations. But it should be our duty to ensure that they do not escalate into proportions that will inflict irreversible sufferings on others.

Attempted translation of a couplet from VAYALAR

"Never will I be in love with any philosophy
That heeds not the laments of a suffering soul"

The original lines in malayalam

"Snehikkayilla njan ...novumathmavine....
Snehichidathoru tatwashastratheyum....."

MY PROPHET - THE GARDENER OF THE DESERT

Thou rekindled the spirit of tauhid
From the ashes of thine forefather grand

Held it safe in those cupped hands
Burned it aflame into an alchemist's fire

The shattered pieces of clay transformed
In thine hermetic vessel, perseverant

The inner light twinkled bright
Reverberated through heavenly height

The spark of self became a burning beacon
Over the dark ages like a radiant beam

Bartering tremendum through sleepless nights
An orphan evolved to an emperor of worlds

Lord called thee  mercy to the mankind
Gifted us mi'raj the most beautiful night

Oh!  the charming gardener of the desert
At thine holy feet, garlands of a billion salute

OBLIVION AND DISGRACE

Infected is my vision
That Seeks in every corner
Either the futile pride of peacock
Or worthlessness of a worm

Oblivious to one's identity
The eagle wandering like a crow
Eyes ever on altitudes was my creed
Rambling shameless in garbages for feed

DEPTHS

Sunken deep, amidst wrinkled brows
Those eyes may soon lose their vision
Yet whenever I look into them
I see myself as I haven't ever before.

DISILLUISION

Eternity crumbling down
To exuberance of a moment
That will never pass
When time will freeze

All the idols turning to dust
Demons and devils burned to ashes
The formless reigning supreme
Bliss and back to the promised land.

MY COUNTRY

Innumerable sleepless night
My mother land spend
Nurturing the infant of wisdom
In the spiritual cradle, warm

Her ever replenishing bosom
Nurtured all with no qualm
Yet the ugly hands of ingratitude
Many a times, made her bleed

Yet as witness unto the world
Stands her soul unconquered.
