dusk

Where have you gone?? why are you far??
Who has broken the effigy of our trust??
Who has cut the thread that connected our hearts??
We owned the streets, we guarded the forts: whole night
but for whom??
We never knew,we never wanted to know.
We never used to sleep:we were prepared
We dined with kings and knights.
We were above laws and orders,we owned castles
We woke up together..but..
Where have you gone??
Which storm has deviated your yacht?
Which dynasty has beckoned you?
We had spears and dreams,we fought for legacy
Nothing tempted us but glory,we lived for honor

My chariot is empty without you
Your memories shine like our sword,chopping my heart


I stand in this battlefield,waiting to see your horse behind the dust
The blood of our enemies fall on my face
Their snivel creeps into my ears
Their wheezing makes me weak

Verdict says they deserve it.but this heart cannot be consoled

Our flags are flying in their dynasty;their kids are slaves in our empire
Who made these laws?they sipped the wine and left
They were buried long back
We watched the twilight sun,we walked towards the tents,
But we never heard the mourning

I want you in this desolate land,
I see the boatman waiting for my cadaver
I want you in this gloomy ground
To keep coins on my closed eyes which are never going to be opened
Which are never going to see any victories

Where have you gone??
Which oracle had predicted our fate?

You are not here to guard me from those swords
Their spears have venom at the tip

You are not here to shield me from those spears

Kids of our kingdom will sing
"They fought for the country ,they were more than warriors"

But i crave to hear
"They fought for each other ,they were more than brothers"
