The eternal quest of the lost love! When did I surge out chanting your name? That was not today, not today. Forgot, from when have I been yearning for you? That was not today, not today. Like the spring flowing out Not knowing whom it wants I arrived traversing along with the flow of life. That was not today, not today. By how many names have I called thee By how many ways have I painted thy image In what joyous delight have I wandered not knowing the goal That was not today, not today. Like the flower waiting for light Unknowingly remains awake throughout the night, My heart longs constantly for you. That was not today, not today. "Kobe ami bahir holem" by R N Tagore. Translated from Bengali to English by me for someone whom I adore. |

LOVELY POEM LOOKLOOK. AH THE SADNESS OF GROWING OLD AND LOOKING BACK ON YOUNGER DAYS.

Beautiful poem LookLook. I often take a stroll down memory lane. Sometimes it makes sad other times happy.

Wonderful text Syed, thank you. Good read with lots of emotion as well, when one goes down the memory lane, there's lots to think about and lots to remember. Lots to ponder upon, lots to be happy of and lots to bitterly regret too. Life is a flower with multicolored petals. But before the flower wilts, one may desiccate it or dry it up to preserve it as a visual representation of the past. With a definition to each chosen colored, designating it as: for the good, for the bad, for the better and for the worse moments of life. Thank you again for your blog. I wish you all my best, hoping to meet you in lobby soon. Take care of yourself always. God bless.

Very beautifully translated. Excellent work.

Nice sentiment LookLook. I think as we age we stroll down memory lane frequently. I seem to reflect back to the days when I was younger. It certainly was less stressful. But then there was no social media. Our connection to the world was the radio. In those days it seemed like a big thing. Stay well and be safe LookLook!

Another lovely poem from Tagore, look. Thank you so much for introducing me to Tagore and sharing some of his beautiful work. I'll be rereading this one. I always get more with reading poems more than once. I'm really enjoying your blog. Lol, I'm taking it slowly and savoring each post. I love the topics I've read so far. Some I skimmed just to get a taste and will go back later... I know reading them will lead me to googling and studying and I'll spend many happy hours learning more. Thank you, look.
