Recite a Poem From My Book

Nobody will survive
 in this world for ever 
Oneday I have to go silently
Then you have to follow me only…

One day your black hair 
will turn into grey
Black pupils of your eyes 
will become turbid
Tight and smooth skin 
will become loose and lax….

Nobody will survive in this world
Neither a king nor a beggar
Neither an American nor an African…..

But my memory will survive for ever
My poems will survive to entertain you…..
I know I will not be here 
even after one hundred years
but someone will recite
a poem from my book……..
