Poem: You—By Humayun Kabir Dhali

You
By Humayun Kabir Dhali

You are the cherished blossom, smiling in the morning dew,
You are a heart filled with dreams, cultivating love anew.
You are the path moving onward, breaking through every stride,
You are a chariot wrapped in moonlight, where full-moon beams reside.

You are the crop-filled field, the gold-grained harvest's grin,
You are the surging river's tide, the pipe that breaks the bank within.
You are the boundless azure sky across the endless blue,
You are a soothing, cool breath when scorching droughts ensue.

You are the quiet mountain’s peak, steadfast, proud, and tall,
You are the tired traveler's radiant silence through it all.
You are the glowing lighthouse standing firm against the storm,
You embrace the lifelong strangers, keeping hearts sheltered and warm.

You are the anklet-chimes of rain, the earth's sweet, scented grace,
You are a song that softly rises in a gloomy, somber space.
You are the cloud of autumn, the catkin-forest white and clear,
You are the pure, unblemished mind an innocent child holds dear.

You are the truthful history, the saga brave and grand,
You are the anthem of liberation across the human land.
You are the lush green symphony where forest shadows lean,
You are a spell of enchanting magic in the golden evening sheen.

You are the guiding North Star that lights up the dark night,
You are the tune of victory on a gleaming sword so bright.
You are the promise of tomorrow, a new heart’s vibrant beat,
You are an everlasting, mesmerizing bond, whole and complete.

You are the beginning from the end, a spellbinding soul’s lingering trace,
You are a gorgeous, loving nation, a beautiful, sacred space.
You are the dawn and the twilight, my fulfillment clear and true,
You are the purer silence that keeps my spirit living through.
