Rana Zaman's two English poems
Countless points in each creation
The dot with more effort reaching
at the comma now is in a coma
When a dot is pushed to the neck
it becomes a semicolon in getting wrecking
The dot with shambling create das
which reform in a connecting road
The dot rushing within a box
transform into an oneness colon
The lame dot pouring love
offerings is a weird colon das
Getting the blow of falchion the puck dot
makes a line with constantly scattering
The buckish dot become vertical full stop
due to stuck in the prison wall with rabbit’s agility
Searching for address in a dungeon the do
bcome a circle after roaming in a circle way
Falling in the hand of greedless the dot create
sometimes diameter and sometimes radius
There are innumerable dots in every creation
Completing all creation forgets the source of birth.

Darkness
All the coffins opened at the scream of the owl
In the coffin there was a terrible fight
between the skeleton and the soul
Rabindranath devotees threw
their harps and ran to the well
The modern arts hang on the tamarind tree
in the grip of the inconsolable
The spirits are intoxicated with
destruction on the battlefiel
The lunatic dog is tearing the rope and biting
Sita's undressing takes place in the ghost meeting
Shaman has closed his eyes by throwing the harp.
