Kali aur Niley

Sam ek albeli si ladki
Daud jae dhul me mila
Suraj ki chakmaki kan samet ne ke lie harbari me
Aur Surya ki ghoda ki kaan me kuchh atpata sa kahe
Ghoda hinhinae, haste hue-
"Tu majedar hai"
Albeli chaunk jae
Behos gir pade.

Gir pade saam pheilke
Lambe Lambe sadkon ke upar,
Ghane, mote, purani pedon ki sakhaon pe,
Vadion me bahein pasare
Jungle me sarke uska sareer
Hissss hiss srrrrr srrrrr frrrr...
Aur ghume kundal sa.

Mandiron ki jhanjhanati jhanjhar, aur ghantion se, gharon ki arati ki dhun se, behos saam uthe firse chaunk ke
Aur fir chal pade harbari se
Ghunghat sajae mathe pe
Laal sa sindur mathe pe
Payal jhanke patron me
Saam ab Raat hai, badhu hai
Janani bhi hai.

Chand ko mathe pe khos k
Kisi khaan ki Miner ki tarha andheri jhadion me abhi abhi khilta hua safed phulon ko samet ne ke lie nikal pade
Unki khusboo ko buku me sajae
Chandni me nahae woh
Aur Akash Ganga se nisare amrut.

Bahut Kam Hai
Fir se harbari me laut ae
Bastion me ghuse
Sabka Chuhla jalana h
Sabko khana khilana h.
Bachhon ko sulana v to h
Jhuti kahani sunake
Chhati pe hath rakh k...

Akash itna Nila lage ab...
Jesse raat ghana hote jae
Wo hase halke se ...
Tandra mishrit bhaari palkon ko bina uthae hath badhae agae.
Han, akash nahi, kanth h, Ashutosh ki- 'sab so gae, wo puchhte'.
'Han, sab...
Kuchh gine chune ko chhod...
Bade ho gae weh
Mere kahani me jhuth pakad lie hein
Talasne beith gae hain, sachhai.'
Kali raat kahe.

Roj kahe
Nila Akash sune
Roj sune

Kali Andheri, Teen Ankh Wali
Aur Nili kanth wale
Ek dusre ke hath me hath lie
Ghume, nachein
Taraon par pair dumke
Anant Dhuan dhul ki bistruti saanp bane
Ath mahanaag
Aur jhulaen dono ko
Itna mile, itna ghule, kaun kya h,
Samajhna samjhana na ho sake.

Saurya Mandal kahe-
area ham Tum hain,
Saptarshi kahein, ap ham tak hain,
Maha- jagatik kgela kahe,
Mai to khel Tera...
Tujhme Mai, mujhme Tu
samjhun Kabhi, bhulun abhi,
Lo, ab bhul bhi gaya...

Raat bhar ye Chale
Jogi isko pakadne ke lie
Nas Nas khole apna.
Kuchh dhar le to dhar le ...
Baki phisal hi jana hai.
Pae 10 aur khiske 100
To bacha kitna aghori puchhe...
Subah tak log kahe
Ye to sansar hai.

~Nishwash nebaku bhuli jae

 Pratidina nua rupa dhari basi thau..

Sabu thara lage prathama thara painee dekhuchhi tote

Au nishwash nebaku mu bhuli jae...

Matha re chuna badal ra odhani

Surya ra sundar jalantaa tika

Naram madhura pavana ra sundar mana matania hasa tora

Phul re bhara rasta dhare dhare sajaa laja laja bhava

Nishwas nebaku bhuli jae mu

Phula ra bojha bahi

Surya nka kirana ra lamba hata dhari jau jau bhabe

Sabu dina kemiti tu ete alaga hei jau

Jemiti pila bele dekhi thili nua nua lagu

Pacharibi pacharibi heu heu

Tu sankholi basau

Pakshi nka kakali ra record lagei ei asuchhi kahi dhire apasari jau...

Nishwash nebaku mu bhuli jae puni thare geeta sunu sunu

Tu puni ketebele chup kina pakhare thia hei thau....

Pachhare luchi

Khoju thae tate agare agare...

Kahibara thila-

Kali mote garam lagila boli

Rati sara kouthu saunti anilu megha muthe

Aji thanda achhi

KASHI : THE FEATHER TOUCH

 KASHI : THE FEATHER TOUCH

Kashi ✨️
Kashi makes you feel at home, homehow...

Kashi ✨️
Kashi makes you feel at home, homehow...
No fear, no stress,
not a thing to worry,
when you wander on your own
in the streets
without the service of any broker,
shop, or are taking a bite from the food vendors
roaming inside the temple of Shree Vishwanath
Temple of Shree KalaBhairav
or are swaying along with
the waves of Ganga
in a boat ride,
anonymous, just on your own,
you feel the childhood is back
And you want to either laze around for days
Upon the couch with a foolish smile spread
Or are eager to go out
In an unsurpassable moving spree

You don't notice the dirt in the roadside, and you don't mind the crooked ways of people.
There is something in the air
That is enchanting and
You are in love with it
You are full of mounting joy
As you know you are a "in-group' everywhere
Inside your heart
Not a stranger as you usually are
In every city
And this realization is mushrooming in the wildest bushes of the brain that
You are stalked by a loved one
Who takes care of your every moment
Your stay, your food, security, every move
Who is everywhere you go
Yet is not appearing before your eyes,
Cause you are still not ready for the long awaited-hug
Only a faint touch of a fragrant presence
The soul is well acquainted of.

Like an unseen family was waiting
for your return...
For years
Or may be for lives
It's your family-forgotten
In a dream of alzjeimer or amnesia,
and as you are member
and are back, rejoicing is going on every inch of this part of the earth, in a grand welcome ceremony 

Of 'home-coming'
And something is on
A touch, a connect
Never felt before...

O my Known One, O my Love

 I Love you, My Divine,

You know me
You know my coming
To the exact point
You know I will wake up late today
And the Shiva temple will have no movement around 8 am
You know all this
And are eagerly waiting for me
For my foolish footsteps to approach the
exact desolate spot
Near Vimala temple
Behind the semi untouched serene area
You came out of your abode to meet me
You ran before me to catch my attention
And seeing me shocked & motionless
You too stopped
Looked at me
Made a movement towards my direction
And then changed it 

Too run towards
The semi bushy jungle...again
How you know
So many things about me
And I don't know anything about you..
This is a unbearable pain.
A new one developing...

O Friend, O my only Relative,
O My Unknown Lover,
In myriad forms you come before me
But seeing me unprepared
You go away...
My heart aches
My throat choked
Tear forming
And rolling down
What wasteful moments I spend
Among complete strangers
Whom I call my relatives...
O my Known One,
O my Love
I want to be with you.
In your true essence,
I want a cradle
O Merciful
O love, O teacher, O my Abode!

Wo Nadi

 23rd August 2014

in Saota Swara My Page

Wo nadi…wo chhota sa nao-ghar 

aur Tumhara dibya-sparsh…

Jungle  ke nibhrut ilaake me hote hue

Chal pade wo pani ki raste me…

Sath me chale tara-bhara asman

Aur ek adha chhipa chand…

Jeise Tumhare lomash chhati me mere ashrit seer..

Nao chale ki taren chale, 

Jungle chale ki ham chalein, kaun jane

Par Tumhare safed sherwani, 

mere heena se range kalai me 

run jhun bahat sare chudiyan, kahein -

Tumhare ankhon me muskan ki daur 

aur mujhme neha ki jhula chale

jane ye nao chale na chale…

pani ki bahav jaroor chale…

itni thandi hai… 

aur Tumhare chhati ki bistaria 

eise me mulayam, ushum lage,

eise me ankh lagne ko hai ki Tum jagao-

hey, dekho, parde ke pichhe se Chand ne jhanka hai,

Tumhe dekhne…

Aur mai Tumhare unglion ko naak me lagaun,

Khusbu kisi barfili gufa me jalte hue aag ki jeise hai,

Bhaye mujhe…bahat…

Mitha se has dena Tumhara 

aur pukarne par ‘hun’ karna apnapan se….

Bhor se jab ankh bhi na khuli ho,

Chand apne ghar jae na jae sochta ho,

Raat ko andehera phir bhi jakad  ke dhare ho,

Tab kisi sugandh ki amantran se uthke beithun mai,

Sirhane ek adhe khile kamal ka guchha…

Tumhare man ki mahak ko mere tak lata hai…

Aur fir se Tum chale ate ho mere pash,

Dhire se ankho se haste hue,

Parda hatake…

Mere hath ki heena se ajeeb khusbu ae…

Aur chand chhup jae Tumhare ankhon me!

Nadi, nao ka ghar…ye aaranya-snigdhata

Tumse mujh tak chalte ae…

Mystic Muse

A Mystic Muse
With hidden jewels of intense sorrow
that he wears joyously,
An absent- minded nobody
Who knows the art of
Making himself alone
Even among the company of
The known people, friends.
Chosen to walk on the path of gloom,
Dejection, desolation, woe & melancholy.
Yet nourishes a dreamlight.

Priceless humans are like this
They mingle in the crowd like nobody
And are always in guise.
A conch shell they create around them
The only way to find them
Is to look deep into their fused eyes...
To feel the stillness in their body language
To hear the Mystic Muse their heart sing ...
Unreachable to everyone.

Had nurtured a feeling to hear it...
Always...
Got lost or faded for sometime now
In the path of Life - a Sadhana.
Relivened again seeing him
-unchanged
And restored it.
Feeling utterly empty like a bamboo
That let the air runs through it
Fabricating a flute.

The Infinite Companion

I thought it's you...

In my intense wish to

grab hold of whatever is left of you

O Pure Eyed,

I went after the voice that rings in me...

You seemed like a ghost

Always there

Happy when I return to my room

I remember 

some nine years back

I asked

Can you hear me.

You had said 'yes'

With a smile.

The voice turns out to be a direction map

The qweek qweek of the metal detector

Closing in now losing altogether in the next moment.

To see your smiling eyes again

For your tick marks, good girl tags

I started doing

All that is good and more good

A single spark of anger, vice, jealousy, fear

You are not going to tolerate.

Your request-

I should blossom like a lotus.

And in it's full bloom

I carry offerings

Not pride.

I believe this is what you want me to be, O Virtous Love,

And started walking.

I have reached a place now

Where I find lotuses in full blooms everywhere...

And strange beautiful birds talking to me.

So, I sit down

And demanded your company

You said you are there

Within me

But my point is you have a body and are living

For you, your company, I have forsaken the world, every relation, every possession,  every shred of it and is roaming here and there...

Making myself as you wish...

But you didn't come.

If you don't come, why this journey.

So, you cheated me.

I don't believe this.

You have been so good to me.

But this is the truth-

You are not coming.

All the Lotuses withered

Birds flew away

Long pythons started swirling the place...

I see Eyes everywhere...

Fear clutches my essence like thousand legged tentacles...

And I ran mad miles after miles, sobbing, weeping, screaming, sleepless, night after night, shaking like a storm fed leaf...

Then the voice appeared again...

-'It's me...

I am there with you

Why worry.'

I asked- who are you?

The voice was silent.

You are the vibration coming from my soulmate, aren't you?

Aren't you his mind, dancing like thousands of bees in the branches of my inner trees!

Aren't you my friend from the past lives...

Walking along with me all the time...

'No, I am you.

I live inside you'

The voice answered.

And I am Love.

Now don't talk to me.

Listen only...

You will hear distant train sounds...

Kirtans, mantras, from far afar places...

Humming sounds of the Universe, flutes will sing for you in moonless nights...

Hear the Dum Dum Dum of Damroos...

And see millions of fiery beings dancing,

Pass the myriad honeycomb of caves,

Follow the one who is guiding you walking ahead of you all the time.

Mark the lights, twinkling in the dark, flickering flames..

One being many,

Many being one.

Time stands still.

Behold.

And realize -Soham!

Listen and smile.

I presumed black magic and thought I am posseed by a spirit and gone a wrong way leaving the Kalpataru behind.

But the voice kept calling me

See, I am totally harmless.

Feel.

I am you.

How come I damage you.

It's hard to make pact with the true reality.

Harder to shake hands with yourself.

Once it's done,

Nothing matters.

When one finds the absolute companion,

Worldly companionship seems like a vast burnt jungle seen in a dream.
