To a lover

Shukdeb Mazumder

Don't bury your love

underneath the fold of fear,

you must know that you have a lovable heart

that you strongly bear.

You have to know that

you hold a magnificent mind

with which you can donate eyes to someone

indifferent to you, blind.

There is thirst in your eyes,

trust in your chest so sober,

romance in your mind- how much more does

a man need to be a lover?

Above all that you need

is- not to be disheartened-

loving is a noble work adorned with worship-

not easily going to an end.
