Her Strength

      The sunset sets in a gloomy feeling and depression.The emotions get down.
But a companion may change an evening,a life!

"Only me
standing by the river,
a bit gloomy.
She,
standing before me
with firm lips & a
bland expression,
asked me,
'why i was so serious!'
I pointed to the setting Sun.
She smiled &,
made me look
into her dark eyes!
Those reflected
red-gold of the Sun.
Ultimately tempted
she embraced me.
I extolled with joy
and, the evening
lazily
grew on darker."

वो तुम्हारा 'समय'...

What a life is it?You meet someone,love n like each other...and then this is changing time which brings life upside down!

"स्मृति के पट

 खोले 

बाहर देख रहा हूँ. 

इतने में 

धीरे से वर्षा आ जाती है,

 सब दृश्य अपने में  

समेट  कर 

एक पर्दा

 मेरे आगे तान देती है-

एक धुंधला जोड़ा 

दूर कहीं दूर 

दृष्टिगोचर होता है,और

 कुछ पीछे 

माध्यम गति में जाता   

एक झुके कंधो वाला वाला व्यक्ति;

दृश्य स्पष्ट होता है-

जोड़े मैं स्त्री 

'तुम' हो, 

तुम मुस्कराती हो. 

तुम्हारा साथी हँस  रहा है,

वो 'समय' है. 

झुके कंधो वाला 'मैं' हूँ. 

अपितु कहो-

मैं झुक कर देखता हुआ 

तुम्हारे उन पद चिन्हों से 

अपने पद 

मिला रहा हूँ,

जिनसे,कभी अपने पद मिला कर 

न चल सका था!"

O My Friend...

             On my friend's birth day,i was in dilemma as what gift i should give him.After brooding under emerging morning Sun on one fine morning,the idea that sparked within me, was the following:

Every year

is a seemable place

of an invisible and narrow route

going up the mountain,

you have to climb up.

There is one again

on the top,behind the peak

a new Sun emerging

to melt undesirable fog.

Sun rays

 would be whispering

in your ears

"My Best of Wishes"

and giving bright inspiration

to your ambitions.

My friend,

Straps and Shoes

would go together

whatever be the season!

Our Moon...

The moon is fancy of romance & love,and,witness of endless stories! 

"Reflecting our attachment

A fountain;

Besides it,in cuddle

We stood,silent

Amidst the mist

Embracing,the rays formed

With the air,

Showers splitting around

As emerging the sentiments,

Setting our emotions

To face the dissident world

And

Inciting us to bring the moon

Down to the glazing

And inviting waters!"

 

एक गन्धर्व अध्याय

   Life has its moments of love,affection,closeness that we remember and live with happily.Here is a nostalgic peep in the past.

 "उस संध्या

तुम्हारे साथ बैठकर,

मैंने चुनी

गुलाब की पंखुरियां,

और भरा गुलमोहर में  रंग.

ऐसा लगा,

अनजान वन में

गुमसुम से खड़े अमलतास को

किसी ने आवाज दी हो,

जाती धूप ने करवट लेकर

मानो हमारे

करीब की खिड़की पर 

दस्तक दी हो.और,

तारो  भरी

उस रात की गहराई  में,

तुम्हारे साथ बैठकर

*किन्नरी हवा ने

  हौले से खोला  था  

एक गन्धर्व अध्याय !!"

*किन्नरी-वीणा वाद्य यन्त्र
