Color
Alam Mahbub
The color peddler shouts
Would you make the mind colorized —
The crowd grows
Let me see the color polish.
I see the blue of the sky
Teardrops in the corners of eye,
Hennaed loves.
The leaves are green, the smell of clay,
I see the red of blood in the war also
Scattering of colors all around in the world.
But the color of the mind!
Which is spoken with the lips
That’s the color of mind —
This color casts light on the difficult mirror.
Alarm
Alam Mahbub
I say I will wake up every morning
At the time given the alarm goes off.
Such a day will come
In your sounds
Don’t wake up, don’t wake up anymore,
Still, I put the alarm on what I think.
Alarm Hi – Alarm
The eyes of the stone will not match anymore
The sounds to wake up in your chest
Will be going back and forth continuously.
Evening of Sweet Shadows
Alam Mahbub
I was walking on the sidewalk:
Spring will must come
And winter blankets will be removed.
I remember
Somewhere the sound of footsteps raised a storm
Crowded by the window
Clouds rolled down by the hill
The light shone on the courtyard
The blood river of history has written
By the red letters.
At the door of poetry
Wrote the mountain songs,
Then I walked on the rocky road
Our legs are in restless with footsteps
The shadows of the sweet evening shook.
