Poem - Signature, poet - Dr. Gazi Abdulla-hel Baqui

 

Signature 

Gazi Abdulla-hel Baqui

Who is in search of mystery?

Possibly someone cancels response.

None is perturbed, many indifferent.

The world goes on, putting Signatures.

A soul –half insane and half sane –

Comes running and says, reply is there.

The true mystery like me you can experience

Behold around you –

                    The world is full of signatures.

Signature! What’s up!

This mystery pours more content into itself.

More and more declarations.

A happy announcement, Oh! He wins polls.

Also, her signature wins,

Now signature sits on the peak,

What happens, time rolls on,

Signature is put inside the bars,

What a lurid phenomenon!

Signatures have innumerable gestures.

Signatures smell ancient blood,

A lot fled through the sly holes, illegible corridors –

Content and discontent overflood the hearts,

A gust of wind has blown away the rest amount of smell.

Heaps of ruins, secret plots and other intents,

                                       nameless and numberless,

Signatures perform lots of works –

Comfortable pens without thoughts.

Signatures really contain sane-insane souls

                      with which the world goes on.

No more search is on, all get stopped

Signature stands erect as a historical mystery.

From behind someone whispers

‘Quest is endless; signature has already been penned through.’
