Daud

Jab kabhi dhup nikalti hai un baadalon ke beech,
Main apne joote pahen daudne nikal padta hoon.
Ghar ke paas ek nahar hai, ek pagdandi aur ek pavan chakki,
Main us nahar ke kinare daudne lagta hoon.

Kaano mein Ipod ka sangeet hota hai,
Par kai baar mujhe gaane ke bol sunai nahi dete,
Dhyaan to panchiyon ki chachahat pe hota hai.

Mujhe kuch aur log bhi daudte hue milte hain,
Ek pal unhe dekh muskura,
Phir daudne lagta hoon.

Suraj ki kirne nahar ke paani ko jag maga deti hain,
Jaise jhilmil sitare din main nikal aaye hon,
Daudte daudte kabhi theher, puliya pe khada main,
Un sitaroon ko nihar leta hoon,
Hawa ke jhonke phoolon ki bheeni bheeni khusboo failate hain,
Aur paed jhoom jhoom mera honsla badate hain
Main madmast ho phir daudne lagta hoon.

Ghane paedon , paani ke beech,
Uss pagdandi pe daud kar bahut sukun milta hai,
Dil karta hai bus daudta rahoon.
Par thoda thak kar ghar ki orr nikal jata hoon,
Pasine mein lathpath ghar ki chokath pe baith,
Apni safalta pe mand mand muskurata hoon.

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.
