We are like
Vladimir and Estragon,
Busy in bidding adieu to
The powerful landowner: Pozzo!
By saying, “Adieu, Adieu!”
In the end of boring Act-I,
One and only thing is
An absurd Waiting for Godot!
To start afresh,
The protagonist Zakir,
Who bids adieu to his Homeland Rupnagar,
Due to the Partition,
Though reminiscing his
Rupnagar Days,
As we see in Basti.
But the word, only one,
Single word-“adieu”,
Touches the millions of hearts,
Creates nostalgic moment
and emotional feelings!
Three years have passed
Like a bullet train!
We don’t know how!
In pandemic, those online classes
were memorable for us!
After the college reopens,
We have done lots of extra-curricular activities!
Now it’s time to bid adieu !
Now we say:- “Adieu, Adieu!”
With emotional smiles.
