Radiance

Posted by Fazlul Huq | 3 Mar, 2016 | Boomerang, Other News, Poem | 0 |

Hail the radiance of the mind,

Not splendour of the cage,

Cherish goodness of the heart,

Not charm of the display.

The quest for the unknown

Is a longing and a natural trait!

As are support and acceptance,

Recognition and acclaim!

How can you reach the heights!

Without opening the mind,

How can you discover and invent

Without vision and grind!

Nothing is ever certain

And nothing is fully laid,

Nothing is ever stagnant

And nothing is mundane,

Nothing is taken for granted

And nothing is gained from disdain!

At the end every soul is on its own,

Although in the Plan of the Creator

Connections are found to abound,

And destined to play diverse roles!

The linage always encodes in the DNA,

As the life entails mind, body and the soul!
