UTAO MASHAL ANDERA KAAYAM HE

  

UTAO MASHAL ANDERA KAAYAM HE

utao mashal

anderaa kaayam he.

kaufnaak iss raath me

chingari ki jarurath he.

har dil ki dadkan

tez kar le tu ab.

parivarthan ki vela he

aane vaalaa ab.

sab aur chayaa athank

nyochavar ho rahe he sab.

iss avasar par

math raho tum sthabdh

har aur bar lo tum

roshini ke kan kan

utao mashaal

mita do anthakaar...

Malayalam Poem: Njan

NJAN

Enil njan kakunnu oraayirum janmangale

Oru kaavalalavunnu jeevitha padhayill

Mannill ninnu uyarnnu njan, oru kunzhu kaniyaayi

Innu aakashathollam uyarnnu nilkunnu

Innum njan orkunnu enn amm mannine

Kozhinju poya oro thallir idhaleludeyum

Enn janma mathavine thozhunnu njan ennum...

Poem

Whenever I met her,
I saw my own heart
Reflecting in her eyes
 I asked God
"Why is it so?"
He replied to me,
"It's from your bone
 I fashioned her....." 

Whenever she speaks to me
I feel a great spark from within my soul
I asked to the Almighty, once again,
"Why is it so?"
He replied to me,
"I made only one heart for both of you.."

Now when I sit alone
In front of my church
I ask Him sadly,
"Why did she leave me alone?"
He replied to me:

"Even though I made her from your bone,
Even though I made  the same heart for both of you,
I forgot to make her your own.."

An unsettling question plagued me
Why did He forget to enjoin our hearts?
 I feel like a cricket player
Who failed in the world cup final

Lost, dejected, despondent
Only because of the law of 

Duckworth-Louis.
