Sandhya

“Tongueless the bell! Lute without a song!” Yet in Dhan Gopal Mukerji’s opening poem, night becomes “God’s dawn,” and a soul reads eternity by the light of faith’s candle.

In Sandhya: Songs of Twilight, evening settles over silver seas, shadowed forests and hills touched by moonrise. Mukerji’s poems, shaped by the lyric sensibility of Bengali literature, listen for what flickers between joy and sorrow, presence and loss. A lone voice waits for an unknown beloved; elsewhere, a cry rises for humanity, a bridge between East and West. The heart is bruised, the lute broken—and still, song kindles like a forest catching fire. What might the twilight reveal when longing itself becomes music?
