MAJNU'S MERCEDES
by Asif Uzzaman
Now, I am fed up; fed up with this running,
Fed up running barefoot, after her, all the
time.
Why should I continue? Tell me, why should I
continue,
Why should I continue to be an evergreen rhyme?
Don't you think I feel bad being same for ages?
Don't you feel I need my story modified?
Why should Majnu remain a madman, why should he?
Why cannot you storytellers make me shine?
Okay, I love Laila, I love her a lot!
But why such madness you depict in your rhyme?
I am depicted as a lunatic, for only loving my
love,
Haven't the writers-poets done a very serious crime?
I also want luxury; I want a castle and
Mercedes,
Yes, love can dwell in castles, if that's the
norm of time.
