Surname | Guna Moran

One corporeal
The other abstract
All surnames carry two senses

We read the surname after the name
Forget the name
Recall just the title

Father
You picked in vain
The name after so many deliberations

No one calls by the name
Everyone addresses by the surname
Life has gone so far

(Translated by Bibekananda Choudhury)
