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Withdrawn- unblemished 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

 

4. AN EARTHEN LAMP

Today
During day
I developed connection
With the Sun

Today
At night
I lit
An earthen lamp

Listen!
Pass this news to
Darkness and storm.

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 .
