Hey Ram, They say you have a new abode,
Its my fear that makes me goad,
Kabhuliwala, a masterpiece by Tagore
About a man's plight one cannot ignore,
A tale for the ages,
That I read 25 years ago,
Today I doubt my own prudence,
Or is it a petty act of defiance,
Will I start to dislike him,
As I dont share a name,
Will his turban and clothes,
Blind his love for mini in the prose,
Hey ram, they say you have a new abode,
Its my fear that makes me goad,
That the good in Kabhuliwala will be lost,
In his turban and his past.
