Dr. Gazi Abdulla-hel Baqui
Who is in search of mystery?
Possibly someone cancels response.
None is perturbed, many indifferent.
The world goes on, putting Signatures.
A soul –half insane and half sane –
Comes running and says, reply is there.
The true mystery like me you can experience
Behold around you –
The world is full of signatures.
Signature! What’s up!
This mystery pours more content into itself.
More and more declarations.
A happy announcement, Oh! He wins polls.
Also, her signature wins,
Now signature sits on the peak,
What happens, time rolls on,
Signature is put inside the bars,
What a lurid phenomenon!
Signatures have innumerable gestures.
Signatures smell ancient blood,
A lot fled through the sly holes, illegible corridors –
Content and discontent overflood the hearts,
A gust of wind has blown away the rest amount of smell.
Heaps of ruins, secret plots and other intents,
nameless and numberless,
Signatures perform lots of works –
Comfortable pens without thoughts.
Signatures really contain sane-insane souls
with which the world goes on.
No more search is on, all get stopped
Signature stands erect as a historical mystery.
From behind someone whispers
‘Quest is endless; signature has already been penned through.’
