Today, I received a heartfelt poem from my dear friend and well-wisher, Sahil Sharifdin Bhat. His passion for these subjects has driven him to author a remarkable collection of books, all of which can be found on popular platforms like Amazon and Flipkart. Among his notable works are “From Delusion To Delight,” “Language guard,” “Editing & Proof reading,” “Writing Skills,” and “Lantern For The Youth.” With an unwavering commitment to his craft, he aspires to be recognized as a scholar and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
As I delved into the lines of the poem titled “Will You Marry Me,” I was captivated by the profound pain it depicted in such a poetic manner. Moreover, I couldn’t help but notice the reflection of the prevailing superstitions in our society, growing more rampant with each passing day. The title itself, “Will You Marry Me,” holds an enchanting appeal that undoubtedly resonates with readers.
Allow me to share the poem here (with Sahil’s permission):
My income, home, car, and caste-all are small, Would you still like to marry me, my doll? If yes, I promise I will treat you as a queen, And gift you floral crowns and earrings green.
Our sleeping bed will be a lush green grassy floor, Which breeze sweeps, dew mops, and poets adore. I promise to kiss your eyes before your tears fall, I will give you all my smiles and take your tears all.
Our job will be to love ourselves and help others, We will respect all religions, races, and cultures. Our children will be raised like birds and flowers, Our family will be cheerful and happy at all hours.
We will trust the creator for all our needs, We will not judge others by their deeds. I will never hurt you and never leave you alone, And treat your flesh and bone as my own.
We will create a small paradise on this earth, Will you marry me and let our kids take birth?
Sahil Sharifdin Bhat’s poem, “Will You Marry Me,” serves as a powerful reflection on the state of society and the essence of true love. Through his evocative words, Bhat raises important questions about the priorities and values that shape our relationships and our lives.
In an age where material possessions and social status often take precedence, Bhat’s poem challenges us to reevaluate our definition of a successful partnership. He reminds us that true happiness lies not in the size of our income or the grandeur of our homes, but in the genuine love, respect, and care we show to one another.
By emphasizing the importance of treating one’s partner as a queen and cherishing the simple joys of life, Bhat beautifully encapsulates the essence of a meaningful relationship. He recognizes that it is the intangible qualities such as trust, compassion, and shared values that truly enrich our lives and nurture lasting connections.
Moreover, the poem highlights the detrimental effects of growing superstitions in our society. Bhat’s words shed light on the increasing emphasis on material wealth, societal expectations, and superficial standards that often overshadow the deeper aspects of love and commitment. In a world consumed by image and appearances, he invites us to reject these societal pressures and instead embrace the values of love, acceptance, and understanding.
Furthermore, Bhat’s poem alludes to the significance of raising children with love, care, and the freedom to embrace their unique qualities. By comparing them to birds and flowers, he envisions a future generation that embodies the beauty and freedom of nature. This imagery serves as a poignant reminder of the responsibility we hold in shaping the lives of our children and cultivating an environment that nurtures their growth, happiness, and individuality.
In today’s fast-paced world, where relationships often face numerous challenges, Bhat’s poem provides a much-needed call to prioritize love, respect, and the well-being of our partners. It urges us to embrace a mindset that values connection over material gain and recognizes the importance of building a solid foundation of trust, understanding, and emotional support.
Sahil Sharifdin Bhat’s poem, “Will You Marry Me,” not only captivates readers with its poetic beauty but also invites us to reflect on the prevailing societal norms and their impact on our relationships. It encourages us to break free from the shackles of materialism, superficial expectations, and superstitions, and instead, cultivate relationships grounded in love, respect, and mutual understanding. Bhat’s words serve as a powerful reminder that true happiness lies in the purity of our connections and the genuine care we show to those we love.
In Essence: The choices we make in life ultimately reflect the true nature of our character. Sahil Sharifdin Bhat’s profound poem, “Will You Marry Me,” serves as a poignant reminder of the pain caused by prevailing superstitions in our society. It urges us to revisit the core values of love, respect, and commitment, fostering relationships that are built on authenticity and genuine connection. Let us embrace the transformative power of true love and strive to create a harmonious world where genuine connections flourish.
