While Operation

In the dark gloomy room

They talked intensely

Working with numerous machines

On my half unconscious body

I can hear as my soul was attentive

'She is incurable' said they

And I felt the pain

But could not move

Effect of anaesthesia or weakness of my soul

I could not protest

I heard, yes I heard clearly

That I am going to die

But I was dead already

A death before death

I felt an attack in my left chest

Oh! the heart still exists

The only question hanging that moment

Will I be able to see my daughter again?

Daughter..oh, it was a shame

The way she smiles, looks and hugs me

I could not go without informing her

That very moment I remembered

That someone was standing outside the operation theatre

Waiting for my return to taste biryani together

But will I be able to stand and tell him

To carry on alone, that I will not return?

Now I cannot move

I cannot do anything.

But that very moment

I realised that I cannot die

I will fight, yes I will fight

And I will win

I will eat biryani along with ice-cream

I will celebrate my victory

I will return, yes I will return

I had to!

To kiss thousand times

And to love my darling daughter

My body experienced a jerk

I felt that inside, a life stirred

And I heard them saying again,

"Miracle can happen at any moment

A ray of hope is visible"

I knew very well that I will live.

At least I am not going to end my life among strangers

I will fight bravely

I will die bravely!
