Madhushala Verse 101

Saqi,if you really have wine so little to offer;
then why make us crazy with thirst to suffer.
We die in our daily grind, you hide and smile again;
Oh why does the tavern have to play with our pain ?

Saqi, jab hai paas tumhare itni thodi si haalaaa,
kyon peene ki abilashaaa se , karte sabko matwaalaa
hum pees pees kar marte hain,tum chhip chhip kar muskaate ho
hai,hamari peedaa se kreedaa karti madhushala.

Madhushala verse 101

My Kolkata trip has thrown up unpleasant surprise with my wife getting Malaria.

She is having high fever and very weak. Chloroquinol has been
administered but fever persists. Blood report shows presence of
P.Vivax which causes common malaria.

As it is the heat and powercuts here was a little too much for us
after so many days . But meeting friends and relatives kept us busy.
Things were quite bright at the beginning with food,friends and
laughter.

Now this has upset all our plans. I have extended my leave and she is
forced to cut down her stay as planned. Both will now leave for Mumbai
on 18th. I don't want to leave her here with son.

Let's hope the fever is gone by then.

Alone with my thoughts,
I can distinctly hear.
The slow chants of prayer
along with the temple bells ringing.
The silhouetted evening sky
providing the still background
by the silently flowing river.
Are these all real ?
Or from my wishes coming live?
I've walked so far in my quest.
That I've lost count
of the days and the nights.
But what a journey
it has really been for me.
with just dreams in my eyes
lighting the way,
I tried to reach my voice calling me.

All those unfulfilled wishes
locked deep within my self.
There is a time when,
I have to bring them out
If only to clear the dust,
then caress them,
look at them with longing,
sigh and then again,
keep them locked.
Till the next time.
Who knows? Till when?

Thoughts can bridge distance
even when eyes can not see.
Try it ,just close your eyes
for a second and think about me.

Why do I have to run away?
From all that I hold so dear.
Do I thus punish myself?
Or is it rejection that I fear ?

Why do I have to run away, from all that I can claim as mine.
Is it so difficult to hold on to your possesions?
Or is it self flagellation?
That I wish to give away like a noble king
my kingdom and occupied territory
I really can't understand my mind
as it likes to roam,freely from place to place
Never waiting to settle,restless for a change
