Someday, my life will cease to be,
And I'll depart from all that I see.
My acting days will then be done,
And I'll enter the world beyond the sun.
But in the hearts of those I leave behind,
My memory and love will surely bind.
And in the duty I owe to my kin,
I'll live on in their hearts, deep within.
With an agitated pen, I'll pour out my soul,
And with my words, I'll strive to make whole.
My own burning heart that knows not rest,
I'll soothe with hope, my eager quest.
Death may be a paradox unexplained,
But I've learned to die and be reborn again.
With an artificial smile, I'll break out in laughter,
For I never thought of dying before, ever after.
Today, I've died and come alive once more,
With a thousand dreams in my heart to explore.
Though the cremation bed and dream cemetery wait,
I'll seek the palace of happier moments, and not be late.
For I am a variegated Hindustan,
A land of many hues, in all its grandeur and span.
And in my spirit, I'll find my way,
Through death and life, come what may.

What is truth?
The poem "Hindustan" does not explicitly mention truth. However, the speaker seems to contemplate the concept of mortality and the idea that memories and love can transcend death. The speaker also expresses a desire to soothe their restless heart with hope and continue to explore their dreams. One could interpret this as the truth that life is finite and precious, and that we should strive to make the most of our time on Earth. The poem also suggests that there may be something beyond death, which could be seen as a truth or belief depending on one's perspective.
I agree, my point may be that we really don't understand the complexity. Jesus said something like, if I speak to you of earthly things you don't understand, how can I talk to you of heavenly things? I am not critical of your intent. Keep up the good work!
That life will never end Mottakeenur as memories will never die.

I don't think you have much choice actually.
Death inevitable; the rest speculation.
Smooth poetry non the less, which I enjoyed.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
So this is your game plan, is it? Long laudatory critiques of other's work, emoji responses to your own. I gain nothing from the effort I put in here - which is severely disappointing. I don't believe I will be repeating the experience.
