Poem - A Lion Has Become Old, Poet - Md Mazharul Abedin

 


A Lion Has Become Old

Md Mazharul Abedin 


A lion has become old

His body has become cold

In front of his den does he lie 

Other animals carelessly pass by.


They do not bow down

They do not honour his crown.

They do not fear

To come near.


Alsa! he cannot catch any head

Today there is no dish of flesh on his bed.

It looks like an empty sack.

His belly has stuck to his back. 


King of the forest is too helpless 

No lioness is their to bless.

Kings in the museum should be preserved

A full stop to the crown is deserved.
