Laila


I will follow the foot prints

Not to reveal or give away the hints

She may be golden hen and proving mint

It is to be understood and not meant

I may not tear off the cloths

Not to bring shame hence forth

May not shout also her by name

I may not care where from its name came

Laila, laila name I murmured

On dry lips little water poured

Eyes searched in all the direction

Nature too didn’t respond with any action

I was single but might have moved with many

Put up great show without having enough money or penny

Was it simple cover up or bargain?

Was it pure love or ground to gain?

*Laila’s name may be remembered for decades

*Majnu’s name may not vanish or fade

Love may find its way in eternal roots

One has to search and walk alone on foot

I may call her my love or honey

Some one may think it is for money

How should I get along and move?

Honesty and desire how to prove?

I was never a good swimmer

But knew well how to reach the shore

Had strong will power to sail through

Faced many hurdles and amidst crisis grew

Love may be called legendry tale

It may make living life like hell

Tidal waves may raise the sea level

Hurdles to cross and smooth the travel

*Majnu  had  sincere desire to marry

Sacrifice to make and words to carry

Nothing could go well with their story

Their names could be taken only with glory

We have rich heritage to look after

It is not to be joked or taken with laughter

Many might have got what they had wanted

Others were tortured, humiliated   and haunted

I humbly sought the purest of pure

Prayed sincerely for it but was never sure

I was suffering from feeling which had no cure

Neither I had any answer not she was feeling secured

Sea remained calm with blue water

Seemed it had no plan to alter

Allowed the movement with free passage

Love is to be sacrifice with clear message

I may not find place as *Majnu did

He openly expressed and did not hide

I have courage to drive and make clean sweep

Not to make relation sour but always sweet

*Laila…female’s name……Majnu…….lover
