Happy Mothers Day

[Mahmud]

It has been
   A long time since you
   Gave me birth
And brought me
To this vast world…
But I am sorry
That I couldn’t
Give you anything except
   Love…
   Stress…
And Sadness…


But this time
It will be more
Than Love…
This time no more sadness
And stress…
Mama, mommy, Ammu,
Whatever I call you
It shows only
1 and only figure
It’s you…
Thanks for giving me a lot...

LOVE SONG


I’ve esteemed nobody before so intensely in this way
It’s true, I’m grateful to you & on no account go away.
You’re my first ever companion, well-wisher & guide
None but you have the utmost right to love me or chide.

Fittingly you shroud subterranean anguish that looks lean
I avow, you’re the paramount personality I’ve ever seen
My affliction ails and ecstasy lets you in seventh heaven
For you? Petite: entire earth, headdress amaranth woven

Whatever good in me is your contribution, bad is mine
It is by no means feasible to reimburse my debt to thine!
Your sheer melancholy, I discern, will prod my empathy,
In my bliss, I’ll side with you, without a slender of apathy.

You nourished, schooled, moulded me & nothing is due
Oh my very dear Mother, I loved, love & will be loving you!
