(If you want to know) He plays this Hemanta Song and asks me If I want to know How much pain he has I should go and ask A caged bird, To gauge the depth of his tears, I should go and ask The submerged lotus. Little does he know That I don’t want to know Anything at all. There was a time When I wished to know it all. But then he told me Friendship is all about forwards. No queries, no replies. That’s what all his friends do. Why don’t I too? Now, even if he wishes That I ask him, Or I would like to know him… The depth of his pain and tears, I now know that I don’t want to know anything. Yes, Hemanta sings well. The words are nice… The song is nostalgic. But it fails to melt me. There was a time, Every word and every song I heard with him, It touched me somewhere Deep down there, Just because he played it for me. Now, even if he tries Or I try, Those feelings have just gone away Our friendship has ebbed away And given way To some sort of Animosity that Has caged us like that bird Has submerged us like that lotus And we cannot fly away, Nor can we breathe easy In these murky waters… Of our stale relationship. ______________________ You can hear the song here. http: //www.youtube.com/watch? v=O6_-MtWOrb0&feature=related
