Apne Apne Mukaam :Hindi poem by Shakuntala Sharma English version: Rajni Chhabra
OWN DESTINATIONS
*********************
Why this truth prevails?
In the corridors of heart
We wandered
In those days
We were far from world
And we
Spewed out whole truth
God knows, when
This world
Stationed
In midst of heart
With crown of 'ego'
Those two words of love
Vanished
Neither you
Nor me
Could understand it
We had nurtured self-respect
But
When
We spoiled our ego
Like a spoiled child
His demands were not
Easy to cope with
His demands were not
Misty
Why did we proceed
In different directions
To accede to wishes of
Ego born out of self-respect?
Many times we question the love we're given we ponder Is it chosen or given or happenstance yet it is the love we become most familiar with love the poem I feel the questions each heart has because all love are different in some way love the poem
