Rajkumar Mukherjee - HOW LONG

HOW LONG

how long can you escape this confrontation
your eyes meeting mine
how long can you shut your eyes like a rabbit
thinking that the world outside is ignorant about you

your eyes have already spread the rumour
the air is agog with your feeling
every other woman is talking about you
how long can you evade the gossips


how long can you avoid me my love
God has a purpose in every creation
perhaps we are made for each other
let’s humbly submit to his desire


is there a point passing the time
the youth is also destined to fate
let me open my wings in your sky

and the world will be a better living place
