Ghorakh Dhanda (A confounding Conundrum)

Excerpts from the lyrics of the song Gharakh Dhanda - loosely translated 

I sought you out, looking at many a place

For a single sight, a mere touch of grace  

So many have perished in your pursuit, their existence erased,  

yet to no one, have you left a trace     

 

You do not exist yet emanate through universe’s every strum  

What are you if not a confounding conundrum?

 

Those lost in your love may be the only ones to have some hope, some light

While the places of worship remain bereft, a broken heart offers your sight

 

If you do not exist, why insist on denying you?

for rejection too confirms your presence,

That which I call “self” what is it if not the reflection of your essence?

Had you not presented yourself in my thoughts, how is it that I concocted of your Omnipresence?

 

What are you if not a confounding conundrum

 

This sense of wonder has captured me, a perplexing painting imbued in meaning

Unable to understand this mystery, this game you have set up from the beginning

Imprisoning my soul in the prison of this body, with death as a guard supervening

Guaranteeing free will, like wings to a bird, you have spread the net of destiny quarantining

After decorating this universe so beautifully, you have conspired to one day set it ruining.

 

What are you if not a confounding conundrum

 

You claim to live beyond time and space.. and still you meddle into the human world

Good, Evil, Heaven and Hell, I wonder what is the point of these words hurled?     

 

Adam commits the crime, and you punish his progeny, yet you claim to be the most Just

You gave humanity earth’s vicegerency, despite the havoc they cause, your judgment we must trust?

 

To reach you is why you say you created us,

But everyone’s eyes you have kept yourself hidden from,

What are you if not a confounding conundrum?
