The following lines were written by a well-known Assamese Music Director “Manas Robin“. I in no way the owner of these beautiful lines and I just compiled the lines into English.
All Thanks to Manas Robin for writing such wonderful lines in Assamese…When I listened to them for the first time I was so impressed that I decide to write them in English..
P.S.–This is not any kind of Poetry or whatever as I know poetry is not my kind of Tea,Coffee,Biscuit etc,So I never tried my hands on them and These Lines should be considered as Gratitude to Manas Robin…All Credits to him.. 🙂
So,Here it Goes.. :-)..I don’t know How Good or Bad it sounds in English but the Assamese Lines are really amazing
“I don’t know
how many Peoples’ dream
sees the reality;
But knows only one thing,
All People have Dreams;
Sometimes I feel Dream is like a Tree
Dreams Sprout,Dreams grow Roots
Dreams Become Big day by day
Dreams change Leaves,change Textures;
One Day even Dreams Become Old,
Sometimes Dreams Break Too
And Broken Dreams hurt us
Hurt our Heart pretty bad;
But all that does stop our Life?
Never Never I guess”
To Go with it..Here is Photo of a Flower I took when I visited Lalbagh,Bangalore.
If by any Chance you know the name of the Flower Please mention it in the comment.. 🙂

And To me I dream because I believe in fulfilling my dreams..For me Dreams are nothing but our Desires.. 🙂
Yes you are right…..Dreams are really our desires but some desires can be fulfilled but dreams can come true !
Thank you for this translation. It reminded me of something written by Langston Hughes: “Hold onto dreams, for if dreams die, life is like a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”
Thanks Theresa for dropping by and also writing these wonderful lines.. 🙂
Nice translation 🙂
and really nice lines about dreams. 🙂
Thanks a lot for liking the Lines.. 🙂
I don’t know about the original but the translation is one of the best things I have read in recent times. Each line holds true for dreams. Thanks for a wonderful wonderful read.
Thanks a Lot for such a nice and encouraging comment.. 🙂
We nurture a dream and the very hope of its fulfillment keeps us going, though often it is shattered. The lines of the poem appeal to the mind. The flower nicely symbolizes the euphoria of the dream.
Thanks a Lot Kajal for such nice words.. 🙂
This is Marigold ..Also called “genda phool” in hindi
Yup Now I know the Name..Thanks for Dropping by.. 🙂
Nice lines
Thanks A Lot.. 🙂
Beautiful words and beautiful imagery. I am wondering why did you not do PADE??
Thanks a Lot Sfurti… 🙂
And as for PDAE I came to know about it almost midway so I didn’t approach but I am sure of next time.. 🙂
Nice lines, full of emotions, thanks for translating.
By now you know the name of the flower i am sure. 🙂
Thanks a Lot Indrani.. 🙂
And Yes Now I know the name of the flower.. 🙂
Great that you are making your local talent reach a larger audience. Nice lines…. Dreams may become old and die, new dreams may be woven again but the pain of the unfulfilled died dream remains….
Thanks a Lot for dropping by and Liking the lines.. 🙂
And Yes Dreams come and Go..Some we fulfill,some we don’t but unfulfilled dreams hurt us sometimes..
Nice lines in English; as I don’t know Assamese, well done TRANSLATOR! 😀
Thanks a Lot.. 🙂

Arre haan.. 😮
waise thoda aur GK dedun… yeh phool nahi hai.. yeh phoolon ka guchha hai…every petal we see is actually a flower. 😉
why I mentioned this? well…I remebered the movie “Chupke-chupke” (old)… the flower has an imp role in it and its one of my fav movies 😛
Hahahaha..Even I also know the importance of Flower in Old Hindi Movies.. 😛

Thanks a Lot Deepti… 🙂
Aur tumne to Hindi mein bhi bol diya I didn’t knew that either.. 😦

Nice post and loved the last lines of the poem,
Dreams are either the circumstances ever you suffer in days or the things you see,that come in your dreams and sometimes it happens when what you miss a lot in a day!!!!!

Harsha dreams make us Human and we are human that is why we dream. Without dreams this world is dreary place to live in 🙂
You are Very Right Vijay Bro.. 🙂
Yes we cannot control ourselves from dreaming-even when the habit becomes a festering wound.
That one is a healthy Marigold.
Thanks for your Views Indu ji.. 🙂
And yes we can’t control ourselves from dreaming..
And I guess every females knows the name..But poor Male.. 😛
Nice one esp the dream poem. I love dreams where sometimes I do the impossibles and there are times the dreams are quite scary and I feel glad ” alas! it was a dream”
And the dream you have mentioned like goal, yes, if only they were possible
Thanks a Lot for Dropping by and Sharing your Views.. 🙂
Yes sometimes we have where we do the impossible and I guess when we woke up it atleast inspire us.. 🙂
thats a marigold flower if im not wrong..smeells even more wonderful than looks… nice click harsha 🙂
Yup Now I know that and I guess Females have more IQ in terms of Flower Name than Males.. 😉
Thanks a Lot Vidhi.. 🙂
haha true 🙂
Lovely song or poem. I want to add here something too. When old dreams die and if our soul is still alive, we will start weaving new dreams. That’s human nature.
PS: The flower is Marigold, called “Galgotta” in Gujarati (My mother tongue)
Thanks a Lot for adding you lines… 🙂
And Yes Certainly if our soul is alive we start with new dreams.. 🙂
And Now I surely know the name of the flower..Came to know about it after I posted the post.. 😛
So rightly mentioned by the writer about dreams ..
Ps. Loved the click .. refreshing .. however had no idea which flower it was ! 🙂
Yes you are Right..He indeed wrote very beautiful lines on Dreams…
And About the Flower its “Marigold” 🙂
I came to know about the name after I posted it.. 🙂
woow .. that interesting .. Marigold .. in its full glory captured by our Harsha .. liked the perspective of click !
Hahaha..Thanks a Lot Aziz Bhai.. 🙂
Awesome poem, flower no idea. Can give it a name of my own, if you want 🙂
Thanks a Lot for Liking the lines.. 🙂
And Yes you can surely give it a of your own.. 🙂
Lovely lines and you know the name now!
Thanks a Lot Mridula and Yes I know the name now.. 🙂
Beautiful
Thanks Rupam and I guess not so beautiful as your Photographs.. 🙂
Ah I’d call it a ” Flower called Dream’ for this post. Yknow my blind son cannot see dreams, as we call it, but lately he started talking of dreams, like we do. I asked him, what did you see… ? He talked of touch and smells and sounds and some amount of light … was he making it up to be part of our world, I will soon know… but so much happens when we sleep. My fav dream is one of flying… when I wake up that, my personality is different… 🙂
I guess your Son is not making it up…Obviously your son is Imagining the world around in his dream and once he is able to see he will realize whatever he smelled,touch really does make sense.. 🙂
Thanks for Dropping by and Also giving it a so nice Title.. 🙂
Ah yes… 🙂 and also maybe we should call the flower : Harsha’s Dream.
Hahaha…I guess that would suit better.. 🙂
such a nice share … feeling inspired to do same sometime 🙂
Yup you should try..And I guess u r kind of poetic so that wouldn’t be a problem.. 🙂
Waiting to read your post.. 🙂
nice capture .. good translation !! I donno the name of the flower .. I call it fat .. yellow, no fragrance yet beautiful flower .. 😀
Lol..Nitish your IQ is also like mine.. 😛
Ok in case u don’t know the name..Here it is “Marigold”..
Ab bhool mat jana.. 🙂
Marigold .. will remember !:)
Arey sun na tera rank aaya kya Indi mein?
haan aya na !
This is a very good effort Harsha! There are many proficient writers in India who write beautiful things in their own regional language! But most of their works do not have a vast outreach due to language limitations.I am so glad that you shared these beautiful lines of Manas with all of us 🙂
Thanks a Lot Jaseema for appreciating this.. 🙂
BTW Sab tarrif Manas Robin ki aur mere Tarrif mein kuch bhi nahi.. 😛
After all I translated this to English and the Photograph is also taken by me.. 😛
Hi Harsha, glad to find yet another fellow blogger from my land..you have a beautiful blog..I too love Manas Robin..if possible upload the original Assamese lyrics here..will love to know which song it is..and you have wonderfully translated..the words are beautiful and the lines are wonderfully woven..

A beautiful song it is..thanks for sharing..
All Pleasure is Mine.. 🙂
WOW, Amazing photography, loving this flower 😉
And you’ve translated the poem from which language to English? OMG, you’ve done a great job 🙂 🙂

Hope you like it..
Really I did a great job.. 😛
Oh Thank you so much, I love flowers 🙂
