Zakhm


Khudgarz1 hai woh,
Ek baar woh tumse lag jaaye,
To dene wale ki lamha lamha yaad dilata hai.


Ziddi hai woh,
Tum bhulna chaho usko,
To woh naaraj ho jaata hai.
Aur chilla-chilla ke apne hone ka ehsaas dilata hai,
Phir bhi agar uspe dhyaan na do to,
Naasoor ban tumse chipak jaata hai.


Akela hai woh,
Usse to bus do pal ka saath chahiye,
Ek pyaar bhara subuk2 lams3 mil jaaye to,
To woh chala jaata hai,
Kissi aur humsafar ki justaju4 main.


Ajeeb hai woh,
Kissi ko pyaar do, to woh tumse lipat jaata hai,
Aur yeh hai ki pyaar pate hi chod jaata hai.


Jazbaati5 hai woh,
Shayad yehi kehna chahta hai ki,
Jisne isse diya hai, usko phir lauta dene se,
Khudka dard kam na hoga.


Jaate-jaate bhi yeh tumhare paas,
Ek nishani chod jaata hai,
Ki tum use kabhi bhula na pao
Kuch baat hai isme,
Dilchasp6 hai yeh Zakhm!!

My Life

I tried to understand my life, It made me fall in a maze, Where I was struggling, To figure out my own way, It was topsy-turvy, The puzzle made me cry. It seemed like a desert, Hot and dry, And I was lost in my life. I tried to understand my life, It made me drown in an ocean, With water all around, No one to see, I tried my best to swim across, But what it gave, Storms and rain, The waves got me, Took me to an island, Far away, Where I was all alone, Searching my own way. I tried to understand my life, It seemed I was thrown in a endless sky, To fight with the vacuum in my life, What I saw was a vacuum surrounding me, I was so small in the universe, I am just a small entity, Like a droplet of water in the sea, I was floating to find out a way, All alone in the endless Milky way. I tried to understand my life, With wind on my face, And bare feet, I had to go ahead to cut the forest as far as I see, I had to make my own way through the maze, I had to swim through the waves and ...

Veerana

Second one of the short poem series.  This short poem is about a lonely place which craves for someone to bring it to life. Veerana Mein ghar ke darwaze khidki khol ke rakhta hoon. Kya pata koi hawa ka jhonka kab aa jaaye. Kabhi koi chahchata, guzarte hue ruk jaaye To iss veerane main bhi chahal pahal ho jaaye. Deserted place I leave all the doors and windows of my house wide open, Don't know when a warm breeze finds its way in. Hope sometime a chirping passerby stops for a while To liven up this deserted , lonely place. Composed by: Priyank

Ashq

This poem is part of a series of short poems I wrote. I am also working towards translating them in English. The picture is one of my very good friends Aastha Gupta, clicked by her husband Siddharth Vishwanath. Ashq Hai koi dil ki tahon main , Jiski chikh sunai nahi deti, Woh ankhon se ashq ban chalak padta hai. Aakhir kab tak jeeta sunsan seene main. Tear There is someone deep within the cockles of the heart, Whose shrieks go unnoticed, Occasionally, it falls off as a tear from the eyes, After all, how long can one stay in a desolate chest.
