To Lan Xin By Humayun Kabir Dhali

You
Humayun Kabir Dhali

Who are you
beautiful one

Are you the Chinese beauties
Dilraba Dilmurat
Zhao Lusi
Fan Bingbing
Liu Yifei
Or Bai Lu

Or the Indian beauties
Reita Faria
Aishwarya Rai
Diana Hayden
Perhaps
Linda Carter
Rolene Strauss
Megan Young
Karolina Bielawska
Or Krystyna Pyszková

No
you are none of them

You are the beauty of all beauties
The greatest of all time

In the scroll of every fair woman
from the dawn of Earth until today

Yours is the name
that sits at the very top

Or perhaps
you are someone ethereal from beyond

Aphrodite
Lakshmi
Freya
Oshun
Inanna
or Hathor

Even they do not surpass your grace

You are the queen of all beauty
worldly and divine

In my dreams
in my reality
And in my every waking hour

For you are my friend
the representative of a nation
The pilot of art and literature

You create the form
the essence
and the fragrance of letters

You craft the history
from the beginning to the end

You unearth traditions
the known and the hidden

You are the creator of literature
through your creations
humanity finds its finest self

Reading your words
some weep
Some laugh
some grimace
some wander in imagination
And some discover the unknown

Your writings are read
in schools and universities
In families
in every stratum of society
in the state
read everywhere
far and wide

And I
I read you

I read your intellect
your elegance

Every word you create
every letter
Every sentence
every line
every page
and every book

I read your gaze filled with love
I read your words so sweet
I read your infallible melody
I read your heart
For you are my friend
my love
In my imagination
and in my soul

my friend Lan Xin
I salute you
the possessor of all that is beautiful

May you live forever
