He Who Was a Poet a tribute to Jayanta Mahapatra by lyricist Gulzar
He who was a poet used to stay silent
And say the strangest things
With his eyes trained at one’s ears he would listen
To the sound of mute silences
He would collect the shadows of the moon
And the damp drops of light
Filling the dry leaves of the night in his cupped hands
