[bodytext] => LIGHT THE LAMPS — Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar The storm is petering out Now in the new abode Do light up a lamp - anew! Dreams - their dome Once lit up with moon and stars Lies deflated - torn! The harp-strings, all pieces The ones that emitted melodies once! I want to forget all So please sing me a song Fresh and sweet In a new strain! Ask me not How many times Did I fall and rise On the stream of life Many a time My emotions lay dead in dust And often soared in the blue, Yet do I know - I have drained the cup of poison to the dregs, Sure do I know - Unshakable is its effect! But why don't you To my lips bring the flask of nectar! The desire still burns, And the portals of heart A tide of laughter knocks, Dear! the love is still alive with all its aspirations, Steeped in the flowery sweetness of spring Several nights of enchanting mad moon still remains, Talks of faith and betrayal And thousand other trivial things! Smile and smile a little And be with me, my company!
