ETERNAL LOVE

Dr. Zainul Husain India Today, once again, I have seen A rose has bloomed so gracefully, Reaching the borders of her mansion's window. The warbler of new-born hopes Has started to flap its wings once more, To embrace cheerfully this massive journey, And the beating of the wind of new love. Hark! O dear love! The singing mynas are completely lost, Sprinkling the magic straight from their heart, Pouring out the melody of eternal love. This flower and all the music Desperately wait for your coming To hug, to touch, To offer genuine love At this beautiful, promising dawn. Don't mistake love For the frailty of a silk thread. It's rather a rock of faith That stays protected During life's raging storms And from the assault of liars' traps. Open your eyes and look, my dear: A new world With its wonderful colors Has become the earth Of your innocent love. It pleases me to see That after a hiatus Of darkness and dreariness, The spring of love has swayed once again, Yearning to hold you in its arms. If this rose bears my name or that of someone else, It matters little... My heart finds joy in seeing That you left behind the shadows of melancholy And resolved to step into this new story. True love is an altar Where the soul of love blossoms By our will To sacrifice and surrender. It's a fire of trials. Going through which, love becomes meaningful. This is the fulfilment of love. This is the state of eternal love. -- ,
