The New Nation - Internet Edition

M. Mizanur Rahman

No one in life likes to share another's sorrow

but enjoy happiness.

Is there anyone who hasn't have sorrow

but all along enjoyed happiness?

What a bind of mystery for I aught to be subjected

to bindings and I must abide by them to its end!

Ah! I do not know who plays

the unseen roles beyond me.

I am in quest of happiness.

In the mirage of light I take someone's hand

happily at pleasure.

In-love and laughter I run for hopes

where life envelops happiness,

but not always.

There's no one on earth

who did not play

the role of sorrow and sadness;

there's no one

who could not have to overcome

the depth of nocturnal darkness;

there's none of the human.

Who's there that didn't fly

caught hold of the unseen

hands of mysterious dream?

Who's there that didn't die

wandering to quench thirst of water in the mirage?

Still sometimes dream comes true

that brings about elated joyful delight

we are wandering about hopes

where boisterous laughter of pleasures grew.

Everyday and every night all that agonies

of sorrow and sadness draw us near

and within the same measure

our pleasant perception with delight flies.

In each abode sorrow and happiness lie together.

That sorrow for you and for me,

then happiness for whom;

with sorrow and happiness ever

we feel ourselves aplomb.

Only what we need to know

that we must not be the cause of anybody's sorrow.

Everybody must be compassionate

to share each other's sorrow and happiness

to live and let live in togetherness.
