Apratyashit: Hindi poem by Shakuntala Sharma English version: Rajni Chhabra
UNEXPECTED
*************
We had thought
We will move hand in hand
In fields of mustard
Did you too?
Why??
I, too, made a lot of promises
Moving on wings of wind
We will converse
I will show you
Pretty blossoms
You will make me follow
Butterfly
On rainbow path
Treading, holding hands
Daily
We used to run
Moving with wind
Reached village of our dreams
I said
"How beautiful is this world?"
You said
" How handsome I am"?
I said
"Yoy are beautiful, because of this beautiful world."
You said
" Firstly, I am beautiful
Mention my name first.
And then anybody else is beautiful."
My love!
I had to show you entire world
You were
"Mine"
Since epochs
To verify my ushering
" Is this world beautiful?"
When did you move away for verification?
I am indulged in life-long thinking
Who left the axis
Me...or he?
