Mehman

Kaun se ye basti h
Sare gharon ko
Roj kareeb se dekhti hun...
Aur sochti hun
Kya naam hoga makan malik k
Chhote ya bade bachhe honge..
Budha budhi milake kitne jan...
Kya kam karte honge...
Kheti ya machine ki...
Roj gujarte hue in gharon se
Yehi sawal puchhte hue ghabra si jati hun
Jan ghar sab maila paint lagae muhn me ada tirchha beithe hue
Najar chura lete hein...

Tere Man Patang

Tumhare Man Patang
Mere Asman me
Ghume, thirke ...
Uncha chadh jane ki ash lie
Niche gir aye.

Kabhi phashe kisi dusre patang k sath, takrake
Ladai me kat jae
Gire...

Chadhaun me khinch khinch dhage
Fir latak latak upar chadhte hue phashe kisi briksh dali par, chillae...
Yahan mere dhage aur charkhe kaam na ae...
Bahut dur bajut dur jo Tujhe udna h
Jana h dur mujhse
Aur mujhe bhejna h
Kar pratiksha kisi uttal pawan ki lahar ki
Fir chale jana dur ...
Ya uth jana uncha
Mere hath k apahanch ilake se bahut agae...
Ek dot bas ek chhota sa dot banke rah jane k lie mere aksh me...
Apahanch mere hath se...

🌿🌹🌿The Other Side of the Divine 🌹

🍀

Until I found you,
I wrote my heart in papers with ink pen, page after page...the second page always messy with the blotted ink effect...
Yet i wrote...
Something urged me to...

With my nail, drew pictures upon wall,
You as a prince riding a manpavan horse,
The feather upon your turban dancing as you gallop gently...
I as a cursed princess in an unknown fort
Waiting for you...
My paints never clarify your face though...

And, went out alone
For wandering here and there…
May be in search for you...

Now that I found you,
Stored like honey within the flower
My life lies, content,
In you….

And now after 7 and half an years
I am again searching where i have left myself -in which flower...

The forest is fast drying up...
My khadaus are becoming thinner...
But the river besides me that walks with me since our meeting has grown wider and deeper.
I call it Love.

I wonder
If you were to name it
You call it what...
May be "the other side of the divine"
As you are a gentle man
& only good words used to come out of you !

To The Blue Board

The sky has left a letter for me
Unannounced,
Coded..

I took it and store it as a picture in my album not knowing anything of the sort.

As i am going through it again and now, i could see -yes, its a letter...
Letter from the unseen
world above.

I am not able to read though i know there is a message for me in the left over trail of the smoke.
The rising sun just made an eye contact to confirm it ...

This vast black n blue board has served as a wall between you and me...
Innumerable messages you scroll for me with the clouds, smoke, birds, lightening, rain and stars..
Some i read
Some i don't
Some are missed totally like this one was about to...

You know my class
I am in nursery.
I v to learn much of your language to understand how you are and what you want of me.
Please keep writing.

I want you to know
Even though i am not able to read...
Your letter formats are the most beautiful i v ever got.
Thanks!

This time i didn't fail

It was so serene
I thought for a second
May b
I am trespassing!

I am tresspassing to a place
I am not authorised to enter
But no body did mind
Noone welcomed me
But i can see
I am somewhat accepted....

I am accepted
And they urge me
To be the glistening hue upon the rice field- to which i failed;
they urge me
To mingle with the bird chirping-
to which i failed again...
They urge me to be the smoky merging line in the distant horizon,
to which i failed the same..
Noone did mind again...
Noone compelled me to
Only the Sun sent a peculiar ray
That touched the ground before me
Thanking me for God knows why...

I got a thank you note
And i need to write a reply
Thought i dont know what i should write -
Still i scrolled something upon the sand and erased it ...
Two tiny birds sat upon the wire before me
As if curious to see what i did write.

I took snaps of the sun, of the rice field, of the birds, chirping and flying.. and something some being hidden, lying-half-asleep within everything could not be caught, i can sense it...
everywhere...

It whispered-
"Why behave a stranger when u r a part of it all?"
I heard and shuddered...
Something is talking to me without voice.
I bravely replied- "Thank you!
And i carry all of it within me!
At least for sometime...
I may forget-
I am a part of all this or u
And i carry u.
Please remind !"

Ek pagal geeti

Jhipi jhipi barsha
Au pagal pavan aji bahut dina pare ekathi...

Mu basi cha piuthiba aluminium table bi dum dum tharuchhi...
Halei dohlei pavana bahuchhi...
Kana kahuchhi su su su bhasha re kie jane...
Barsha tala milei nachi jauchhi...

Jane udei neuchhi
Au janr bhijei deuchhi
Di jana nka bhrtghat kete sundar ....
Manisha ra chitra canvas pari,
Chitrakar ra kalpana uthi asi kholi jauchhi jibanta hei,
Barsha-pavana aji ekathi
Eka naam eka thikana
Kete vishala au didiganta byapi e  ahaghara bhoji ! panaromic...

Chhota gote room re chup chap di pada katha kichhi hasa jaha haji jae chari kantha bhitare...
Semiti ta nuhein e di jana nka katha barta...

Samudra ru uthi asichhi pavana...
Kichhi katha sethu b anichhi...
Kichhi juara ra marijuana ku lagei pagadi bandhi asichhi
Au akasha ra buku halei Devata nka swastno bhava hataru kichhi dhari asichhi, vijay tika lagei,
Puni megha mananku chhuin barsha ku nei asichhi...
Ete grand jebe anumati patra magiba pavana ra barsha sange dekha heba painee...
Tebe jebe sathe sathe jebe misi hatare hata dhari chalile di jana...
Ama sadharan manisha ku dise e chhabi ...
Eka pagal geeti !

Barsha aji ekaki nahi,
Gumsum barsi jauni
Pavana sange sange achhi,
Deula re basei gheni jauchhi,
Kouthi tanka ghara?
Pacharibi ki,
Na, thau,
Akaaran disturb heba,
Bahu dina pare aji barsha hasi deichhi
Au pavana nachu nachu lajei jauni
Jane Pagal (Raja boli hetu nahi)
Au tara pagalpan nei jane Rani!

Hueta samaste bhabanti
Pralaya tandava leela,
Mu kahe
Madhu-unmada preeti !

Nimantarana patra asichhi ta,
Table upare binchi hei padichhi
Kete sahasra...
Jibi kaouthi ki?
Kana lekhila pabana baiya hoi,
Kichhi dishuni....
