Abdul rahman’s “Coronation of Humanism” is a masterpiece among his poems, which pay tribute to humanism. It is an illustrious monument to the success of mankind in space travel. The conquest of moon by mankind is an excellent example of the hegemony of human race in the universe. So the poet as the “Coronation of Humanism” praises it.
“The Human bird of
The global nest
Now has got
The wings of Gabriel.
Oh! Planets!
Wait in queue
To give him a
Warm welcome.
The multitude of
Gravitation
Opens to his staff
Paving the
Proper way.
The rocks which
Kept the secrets of the
Universe till now
Were shaken and
Torn into pieces
By his shouting of
‘Open sesame’
Under the feet of
His horse
There is a lot
Stardust.”
Here in this poem the poet describes man as ‘vamana’ an incarnation of God Mahavishnu.In this incarnation Mahavishnu, first appeared as a short Brahmin and then grew taller than anything in the universe and by such tallest figure he measured the whole universe by his two feet.
The five great elements
Bow down and pay tax
To the great emperor” Man”.
Whose coronation
Is solemnized at the
Throne of Universe.
Just from the seeds of
The forbidden fruit
Oh! What a fine
Heaven
He has created!
Abdul Rahman should be read and enjoyed and no mediator is needed.
The beauty of the language, the power of words, the magic of verbal portraits and the art of poetry find their supreme nature in Rahman’s poetry and if you had not enjoyed it your life is an utter waste.
