5 POEMS of SANWAR DAIYA FOR COLLECTION of RAJASTHANI POETS
NURTURING DREAMS
Nay
It won't make any difference
If these stones are not
Utilized in constructing
Temple of Ram
Nay
It won't make any difference
If these stones are not
Utilized in constructing
Babri Mosque
Bring
Bring here
These pieces of rocks
These stones
This cement
This limited stone
This mud mortar
Fetch all these here
Over here
We are nurturing a dream
For making house for
Every human being
Come here
Join hands with us
And indulge in
Turning this dream into reality
This insistence is not wrong, I presume
Why are you silent
Vent your voice
Come, join us
2. OWN CREATIONS
With arrival of maiden rain
Children move out of their homes
To create castles of sand
After creating house
Playing
While playing
They demolish
Sand castle
Demolishing
Their own creation
They are not scared
Listen
O! God
Creating and creating the Universe
And destroying it again and again
You remain
Neutral
Withdrawn- unblemished
Like children?
3. REALITY OF LIFE
Once a skyscraper
Is standing as a shamble now
No merry sounds
No noise of chit-chats
No whispering sound
Only drastic silence prevails
Fully flourished tree
Is standing as stump now
Now kids don't come here for swings
No birds come chirping here
No travellers take rest here
A boredom of loneliness surrounds
I am not alone
While departing from here
In eve of life
I am accompanied
By truth of life
This ruin
This stump
And fearful silence
And boredom of solitude
5 IN ART GALLERY OF MY HEART
To catch a glimpse of
Light diffusing from the North
I twist my conversation
With you
This is my habit
Once, you start shedding tears
And smile on being flattered
Wiping your tears
You thrust your head
On my shoulders
With a fixed gesture of your hands
This a a good habit of yours
Crazy after this gesture
I am still hanging
In art gallery of my heart
This captivating portrait of you .
