WAITING :RAJASTHANI POEM OF SANGHMITRA RATHORE: ENGLISH TRANSVERSION BY RAJNI CHHABRA

WAITING

**********

 In wee hours

In deserted mansion

Damsel saw a radiance

An unquenched thirst

Arose in her heart

She ran madly

Her hair swaying till waist

Droplets of pearls

Started flowing from her eyes

Her soft, delicate veil

She forgot in her bed

Running, the damsel reached terrace

A pang dominated her heart

Glow of her smiling face faded

Waiting eyes, cast down

She missed him, but 

He did not turn up

Was it a dream or 

Some spell of illusion


Countless days

Turned into years

Tank of tears

In her eyes dried up

She has forgotten all the make-ups 

Associated with auspicious days and festivals

Her bracelets have worn out

 Her necklace has broken

Getting wedded in a very raw age

She had entered her new abode

Holding hand of her groom

The enchanting beauty had 

Captivated her beloved

The whole day was spent

Waiting for him

With advent of night

Beloved marked his presence

Constantly viewed her

Embraced her whole-heartedly

Midnight was for unison

Damsel entered the mansion

With her rhythmical anklets

Playing merrily

She won heart of her beloved

Peacocks danced

Nightingale cuckooed in her heart

Eyes never missed a single moment of

Beholding him

 In month of Sawan

Her swings touched heights

Danced merrily in Phagun


Beloved has moved abroad

Leaving her behind

With a hope for meeting again.

 

 YOU---YOU  AND  YOU

I view you 

In pleasant beauty of *Sawan

In  monsoon clouds

In faith of devotee

In  recurring fragrance

I view you in

Songs of chirpers

In love of Dhola-Maru

I view you in 

Blood- smeared arrows

I view you in 

Blossoms at my abode.

You---you and you


*Sawan: a month of rainy season

VINCENT VAN GOG  AUTHOR SPEAKS: KAVI ANURAG ******************************** IN CONTEXT OF THE POETRY BOOK  'BHULA HUA SA YAAD KUCH' ' (RECOLLECTING OBLIETRATED') ******************************************************************************** The world is rich with many great artists who are remembered for providing new heights to art, on dint of their original, distinct skills. But Vincent Van Gogh holds a distinct status. He is remembered as much for his contribution to Painting as for his sacrifice and dedication towards Art. In spite of sufferings, agony and failures on every step pf life, he was always associated with colors and canvas, even during his lunacy. Not even for a single moment, he nurtured any doubt for Art. His craze for art provides energy and vigour to the artists even in present times. This attribute makes him distinct from other artists and this is a testimony to his dedication that he lost everything, even life in the end-- but did not leave colo...
