" Fog" A poem by Sultan Muhammad Razzak (Bangladesh)

 

Author: Sultan Muhammad Razzak

Country: Bangladesh

Title: Fog

Fog

In this dense fog

In desolate solitude

Look at yourself

Dear wild bird.

I'm not saying to

Recite any classical poem-

At a sunny afternoon,

Or a dark night under a full moon

Or storm-ravaged forests

On a lonely beach

That is written on the body of the poem

Seven notes of the tune.

I say

O my favorite wild bird

In this dense fog

In desolate solitude

Look at yourself.

I look at me

When did the body disappear?

In the white fog

All the trees in the world

Oceans, rivers, mountains,

Those were around me-

In thick fog

Where all they were lost.

I lost my eyes too

There is only a sense of sight.

My sky filled with night

And the milky way of stars

Clouds on a moonlit night

And the dream bird...

Did all sink?

The anchoring space has sunk

And all the seasons...!
