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?

  1. 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
