Before My Curtain Is Drawn


Some words are meant to be read, some to be remembered—and some words to be sung.


The poem Before My Curtain Is Drawn, composed by Tasneem Hossain in 2021, began as a quiet reflection on love, life, friendship, and the preciousness of the present moment. Its message is simple, yet deeply moving: do not wait until someone is gone to tell them how much they mean to you. Give your love while their hearts can still hear it, your hands while they can still be held, and your presence while they can still feel it.


Over time, the poem has travelled far beyond its original pages. It has been featured in different countries and has touched readers across cultures, reaching 23 languages. Though the languages may be different, the emotion remains the same. And in 2026, the poem takes yet another beautiful journey.


Its words step beyond the printed page and find their wings in melody. Through music, the emotions of the poem are transformed into a shared experience—one that invites us not only to listen, but also to pause and reflect on the people we love.


With this song, may its melody carry the message of the poem into many more hearts, across borders, languages, and generations.
