Aftab Alam - Who Will Free The Cage Bird?

Aftab Alam - Who Will Free The Cage Bird?

Once I seen a rickshaw puller with astonishment br Found myself guilty of heaven’s embezzlement br It was like a dream; I saw the scene in wide awake br Such a lovely grandeur creation! Lord’s make. br br Quietly wept within, tears rolled with happiness, br Praised humanity and Almighty, for its liveliness br Emptied my thoughts and feelings, felt loneliness br Prayed with head upward for his act of kindness br br He was freeing the birds after paying the cost br ‘He used to do this regularly’ ah! A peace host br His earnings were meager yet he earned much br I went near to him, for an angelic holy touch br br Smiled, seeing others and laughed, while he freed br “Fly high, take your wills breathe, bird; don’t bleed br Make your own world, away from fear and greed, br Away from the human reach, peace must ye breed” br br On the stream of time, flowed he, sank in heavy age br Flesh melted and soaked, looked like skinny cage br Now, he was a beggar, yet job was the same, ‘freedom’ br ‘A repeat of the said words, for their unseen kingdom’.
