Hey Ram! Kabhuliwala!!

 

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.
