We present his awesome poem After all, it’s life only. We extend our heartiest thanks to the learned author Captain Pravin Raghuvanshi Ji, who is very well conversant with Hindi, Sanskrit, English and Urdu languages for sharing this classic poem.
I often keep stopping
while crossing your way
But, only to find
waiting for myself…
O’ life, why do you go
on teaching so much
As if I am going to
live here for ever..!
Who says that
I don’t lie at all
Try asking me once
about my well-being…
They do burn a lot
much deeper inside,
Complaints, those
don’t get mentioned…
Just try darning
it a little bit,
Will look new again
After all, it’s life only…
Every night I put all the
desires to sleep before me
But, Alas! Every morning,
they wake up before me…
It sure is so reassuring
to see self in the mirror
Atleast someone knows
me in this world…!
Looks like life is
somewhat upset today
Let’s leave it, after all
It isn’t the first time…!
~Pravin Raghuvanshi
