HOW CAN BE IT DEFINED?

- November 20, 2025

HOW CAN BE IT DEFINED ************************* What is it That links us. Wetness of flour is never definite Perhaps there are techniques of mending it Even after flour getting wet. This moonlight had once diffused in Pitch black nights I am still bathing in it And you, too. Pale grass, peeping out of stones On receiving a bit of wind and azure Turns lush green ।I am aghast at daring attitude of rivers In extremely narrow and curved routes Their flow becomes even faster And, then, while merging into sea Just observe how their arms are stretched Gone are the days When stones tested love Since then, enough water has flown in rivers Presently, for examining an established love Time tries hand at new tactics. Often time challenges love In my neighbourhood, Emptying canisters of kitchen Beats these Often, he fondly invites love Showing a piece of romantic moments Around which he has spread A net composed of tears At times, allures and makes si...

THE MOST CONTAGIOUS

.सबसे ज्यादा संक्रामक ------------------------------ सबसे ज़्यादा संक्रामक क्या है ? क्षय रोग के जीवाणु ! ज़ुकाम के विषाणु ? या फिर एड्स के विषाणु ? शायद इनमें से कोई नहीं क्योंकि इनका मन और मूल्य में संक्रमण नहीं होता मैं डरता हूं तो उस उजले विषाणु से जो हर जवान होती कोशिका पर नज़रें गड़ाए रहता है । इसका संक्रमण ऐसे होता है जैसे घुसता है बाढ़ का पानी गांव में, रात के अंधेरे में । यह ऐसे चाल देता है आदमी को जैसे सीलन भुरभुरी बना देती है दीवार को और ज़ंग खा जाती है लोहे को । लेकिन ताज़्जुब तो यह है कि इसका संक्रमण होते ही दिमाग़ की कोशिकाएं हो जाती हैं शातिर और दिल की कोशिकाएं कठोर । शब्द दोमुंहे हो जाते हैं और दृष्टि उजले रंग के प्रति वर्णान्ध । आंखों का पानी सूखने लगता है और पुतलियों में छा जाती है हवस । भीड़ को देखते ही उल्टियां शुरू हो जाती हैं जिनमें होते हैं नीति,आदर्शों और आश्वासनों के थक्के। हां , यह संक्रमण किस सीमा तक हुआ है यह जानने के लिए एक जूँ पकड़कर संक्रमित कानों पर रखिए और गला फाड़कर चिल्लाइए मेरा विश्वास है कि वह टस से मस ...

PEOPLE WERE DROWNING

- November 19, 2025

PEOPLE WERE DROWNING ************************** People were drowning Just slogans of saving them Could not fetch them to bank People were in a state of shock. Just assurance of saving them Could not save their life. People were dwelling in dark Dream of fetching light Could not turn into reality. Several persons are poking fun of them But, who will intimate them Several people are shedding tears On their laughter. Since long, I have moved on To flush colors in flowers for him But, observing my helplessness He spoke out his heart to me " You move away from here So that breeze of new spring flows." @TRANSLATION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

I HAVE TO KEEP MOVING

- November 19, 2025

I HAVE TO KEEP MOVING ************************ Their feet are not composed of Bones and flesh, Neither any blood circulates in them Nor they gain their existence From any thick skin Still, while opening their feet at night They look at these with deep longing, Caress these, Even press these a little, They feel that After carrying their burden The entire day These too, might have tired And these too, need to relax These, too, need a power nap. They show their love towards these By addressing as companion And at other times address as Having closeness of breath. With the same intense sincerity They tie laces of their shoes And with equal fondness Shine them by polishing. These are the feet That carry burden of Their wounded aspirations, These infuse with self-confidence Their stagnant life Fill their dumbly present sitting on borderline With future moving ahead with time. These are the feet winged with Wings of their aspirations. They ...
