Sleep Forever, Oh Tired Heart
The chilled evening drenched in monsoon clouds
When moist nightfall’s eyes just stopped raining
Listening to rain’s music you are standing
At the footsteps of visualized lightening towers,
Like the second note of the recital,
With fake hopes
Asking for an end to endless repetitions,
Happening every day.
The silent mind has already rest in laziness
Though late, realized the ultimate truth.
In the cloud drops disappearing in soil,
The one who searched meanings for the faded dream,
Is none other that the stupid, the only you!
The only heart that loved the last colourful raindrop
Which settled in soil like a thin misty layer
Was also you!!
When life leads towards the final corridor,
The mind shatters into thousand pieces at the doorstep,
Asking you a silly question,
For the borrowed colourful dreams for a short time,
Why did you give your name, you idiot!
In the last moments of that radiant nightfall,
When night desires for the union with day,
Thinking about the countless days and nights to witness,
Counting those remaining moments of lifetime acting,
Giving sunset to all beliefs and hopes remaining,
Kindly slip into your last sleep, oh tired heart
And sleep forever,
Unaware of everything happening around.
Let no one wake you from deep sleep hereafter
Let no one light your dreams of hopes again
From the gone flame of your lighted lamps,
And let your eyes not see your foolish dreams once again!
