We present his awesome poem The Smoldering Coal..! 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.
~ The Smoldering Coal..! ~ (A poignant expression of the pain of heartache and the longing that remains even after wounds get healed on the surface. Like the smoldering coal, they remain smoldered, enduring the emotional pain of heartache.)
~~~~~
People say wounds don’t hurt
unless they’re deep,
and even if they heal,
they’re not called wounds…
And the wounds still alive,
will be healed eventually with
medicine, ointments, and bandages…
*
But how to can explain it to the
people that heartaches never heal…
Nor is there any treatment for them,
Like coal, they keep smoldering
silently in the depths of heart…
That’s what says the adage:
“..the coal didn’t turn to ash…!”
