In Memory of my Mother


I remember still, I remember-
The last day of my beloved mother,
The sun ends rotating around-
This earth's solitude,
The east sky looked gloomy;
The west sun lonely descending;
Profound reminiscent vale of sparse clouds departing
My mother in her bed lay
I tarry near her bed,
She embraced my hand
With her tearful eyes
My tongue rhapsodizes
And eyes filled with tears.
I mutely told mother
She told me some other:
After a minute, my mother-
In silence forbid to talk;
And lastly my mother demised.
And from that day-
I lost the precious word mother'
From my tongue thus disappeared
And sleepless night I passed.
My heart cried and cried in vain
With deep an immense adoring pain.
I feel someone pinching me unhurt
And laments my innocent heart.
In my void blue eyes-
I remember, I remember forever;
The last day of my mother
And from my gazing eyes;
Without limit shed tears-
Whenever I remember
The last day of my mother!
