The Stubborn Heart




Written by B D Narayankar


This stubborn heart, a problem in heart
Heart in problem
This stubborn heart, a bit bold, a bit coward
Why it dwells on the fear of pain
Why it heaps new strains onto itself
Why it cries while yearning for joy
What is right, what is wrong
Why doesn't it fathoms
This stubborn heart ....


There is an avalanche in my breath
Mist in my eyes
Why does it every moment bets on grief and happiness
It's full of hope, wary of self
Why is it entangled in untangled thread
Doesn't even listens to its advise
This stubborn heart ...

Why does the tongue slips in talks
Why does the eyes get intoxicated
When they fall on spectacles
How did this happen and when
Tell me why it happened
It doesn't stumble, but why does it tries to recoup
This proud heart doesn't give in trying
This stubborn heart ...
