We present his awesome poem Farming of flowers… 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.
Millions of lamps burn
on the eyelids of the twilight,
ushering the countless dreams
in the unfathomable depths
of the imagination…
As the hands raise in prayers continually
An avalanche of cosmic waves
keep turning them
into celestial flowers…
Divine fragrance spreads around
enveloping the lives around…
Alas! It still can’t reach
the merchants of death—
who are obsessed with
the demonic desires to
grow the crops of gunpowder,
laced with the blood of the innocents
Will someone explain it to them
that with the little effort
Flower farming is more profitable;
and your existence starts
smelling with the divine fragrance
along with the whole universe..!
