Elegy for Nadia Anjuman

O...! Sparrow of cage
Heart was your full of courage
And brave are your words
Surrounded by dark hours
Breathed in shared wind
You enlightened many nights
Married to a man?
But loved by divine
Your poems, like freedom wine,
Will quench thirst of bard like mine
Torch of future buried down
Will you throw light from god's crown?
