Farewell (Sonnet) Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

Sanjana! Fare thee well, I come no more,
Along life's road we chanced a fleeting meet.
In thee I found what I had searched before—
Rare moments sweet, in bitter days a sweet.

Thou taught'st me how the soul its truth may find,
Though born alone, I braved the world's cruel pace.
I chased the chime of Time that knows no bind,
And oft I fell, yet rose to seek the race.

I heard the coo of koels in the trees,
And danced beneath the moon's pale silver dome.
The rains of Sharabon sang with the breeze—
Yet none could sway my heart or bid it roam.

In wrong I bent not, though I stood alone;
My path is quest, till all of thirst is gone.
