We present his awesome poem Taboos… 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.
☆Kept churning the whole life
As the time passed away in resolving
dilemma of defining sins and good deeds,
Taboos kept shutting the doors…
Though it was just at a handshake, but
that could never be gotten lifelong,
At each step the noose kept tightening,
Taboos kept shutting the door…
Infinite yearnings, countless curiosities,
Kept reincarnating unresolved, and
perished too uncomprehended,
Taboos kept shutting the door…
Limited lifespan, Endless desires
Previous births, sagas of reincarnation
Kept taking away the life, as ever
Taboos kept shutting the door…
Life revolves around the breath
As life resides in every breath, but
It kept suffocating on each breath,
Taboos kept shutting the door…
Keep discarding the unwanted
Life the life you ever wanted,
The life remained hidden in the flint,
Taboos kept shutting the door…!
