When the domain appears dark,
And lacks a stunning spark.
I will light the storm lantern
And it shall burn like an aureate sun.

Behold! Your atmosphere is twinkling!
And the tender springtime zephyr blowing!
Hold my hand, for we shall dance together;
Mind my feet! I know I am an amateur!
And so you are…
Yet we shall dance under this ballet of stars…

Mood of insecurity engages his appearance,
When he detects her loveliness by chance.
He remember the speckles of his surface,
Miles away from her celestial grace.

“How fortunate I am!” he whispered to her.
She responded to his emotion “Yes, we are!”
“Let my exterior be an illusion for others;
As you explore my soul and accept its scars…”

You sang me my first song when I was in the womb.
Endured pain to grant me the breath of existence,
Shed tears of joy when I was released from the cocoon.
How could I ever forget your warm hug and over possessiveness?

You nurtured me and I still remember your bed time stories,
I have seen you wake up the whole night when I was ill.
It made me feel secure and in the state of bliss.
You wake me up during midnight and make me have my pill

Reprimand me in every idiotic and erroneous step I take;
Now whenever I commit an error, I just visualize your image,
And my intellect prevents me from committing a mistake.
Oh Mother! The feelings are too great to be contained in this page!

During my childhood, I used to snooze on the couch intentionally,
So that you would bestow me on bed and tug blanket.
You always sheltered me in your arms when it rains or if it’s squally.
Oh Mother! Wish I could time travel to those remarkable dates!

Your fragrance is sufficient to make me feel relaxed.
To our family you embrace the uppermost position,
We would be lost without your management and your acts.
Oh Mother! You really show me how it feels to be with your loved ones!


You taught me the technique to survive in this peculiar world,
For you knew that you wouldn’t be with me forever.
Be pleased! For ‘I am prepared’ is my word!
I guarantee I won’t fall down whatsoever.

There were ripples of the sparkling stream.
The crystalline water was mirroring the blue sky.
That befriended with the sun’s wonderful beam.
Beams of the dazzling looking golden eye.

The background was overflowing with mountains.
Mountains with snowcapped peaks,
Their attainment of such exquisiteness is a real arcane.
What is it above the sky that they seek?

The eagles were gloating about their wings.
O! How marvelous they were to glance upon!
Thrushes flew above the river as they sing.
Grazing on the grassland was a cluster of fawn.

There I saw the elderly yet strong fisherman.
Flinging his lure in an elegant technique.
Attracting catfish and trout as much as he can,
While sitting on the boulder beside the flowing creek.

The loveliness of the lotus was luring me,
Positioned silently on the cerulean water.
The white arrowhead was charming as she could be,
Her petals were diminutive as they always were.

Far away, I saw a grandiose tall tower.
Its peak was reaching for the high heavens.
He stood there taking delight over his power,
Amazed all travelers every now and then.

The heavens above exposed a band of colors.
Little time, after the floating dark skies cried.
I then assumed that our life is filled with squalors.
But don’t worry because later they are all bright.

After the drizzle, dews sat calmly on the grasses.
Scarcely and leisurely moving towards the ground,
The sunlight coalesces with the dew with tender caress.
How luxurious they looked wearing the golden crown!

The children played alongside the river in pleasure.
Girls were collecting flowers to make tiaras and garlands,
While boys were skipping stones on the tranquil water
Their little footprints placed themselves on the loose sands.

And I was assembled comfortably on the greens.
Beside flowed the river without paying any notice.
It cleansed all of my hopelessness and spleen.
Therefore I slept on the nature’s lap with internal peace…

I think I see the mighty hills of Darjeeling.
What magnificence, it is that they bring!
Bold as a King, so high its peak.
Where the oaks grow densely and so do teak.

I think I hear a whistling of Toy Train,
Elevating the twisted track, so slow they gain.
As small as an ant climbing up the King’s feet,
Singing and moving while sounding so sweet.

I think I observe a little streak of falling tear,
Fall from the eyes of Darjeeling, the valiant emperor.
I looked amazingly at the hills of Darjeeling.
All hail Darjeeling! Our benevolent King!

I made vows to never depart away from her
But alas! Yesterday was her last day with me
Oh! How I wish fate would travel as I prefer
Constantly listen to me and voluntarily agree

I sat right next to her as she suffered
Suffered from the merciless disease
That smote her with the rusty sword
Sword that brought her down to her knees

I looked at her hopeless wrinkled appearance
Her flowing tresses have now lost its dye
She gave me a weak smile as I glanced
My conscience can’t smile but just sigh

I grasped her hand while she lay on the bed
Motionless like the leaf on a flowing rivulet
Her existence now hangs on a fragile thread
I deeply desire to own a time controller with reset

It been an amazing adventure staying with her
We occasionally argued but it didn’t proceed long,
And for ever and a day cherished each other
For our love is eternal and exceptionally strong

My white blank sheets on which I inscribe
Requests me not to drench with them with tears
While the brutal death looks at me and gibes
But I know life goes on and I shouldn’t fear

Because I still treasure your golden memories
Deep down within my mind I still got the views
Reminiscences of how we first met and our first kiss
And how you whispered in my ears ‘I will always love you’

There a soldier lied on the exhausted sanatorium bed.
Stay unvoiced and insensitive as he bled.
Faintly opened his eyes to observe the mayhem,
While a red uniformed nurse was announcing several names.

At the same time as I, Dr. Bell the way I was known
Reached and stood beside him to analyze the boy alone
The other doctors refused to examine him as he was a foe
Whereas I, Dr. Bell known as a savior has a life to bestow

Neither did he move nor did he watch me staring at him
But relentlessly looked blankly on a white wall with a grim
Suddenly he gradually inserted his red hand into his pocket
To pull out a photograph soaked with blood and sweat

Tears flowed down from his eyes as kept on staring at it
I wore my spectacles and approached nearer to inspect it
I was accurately traumatized to an extended degree
For what it contains is a picture of his family!

He closed his eyes and remained silent for his life to dim
Finally, he inhaled his finishing breath before the last glimpse.
