BEMOANING
*************
Something has happened
With the girl
She kept shedding tears
Throughout the night
What happened with the  girl
Nobody can tell
Tears kept flowing 
From eyes of the girl
Throughout the night
Under the thatched roof of hut
She slept with her 
Sister-in-law 
And kept shedding tears
Throughout the night
Mother-father could not know
The girl continued weeping
Throughout the night
When he listened about
This episode
He betrayed faith
The culprit got released from jail
Moved out laughing like *Ravana
The girl bathed in stream of her tears
The girl kept on crying whole night
She cried and sobbed bitterly
Her modesty was stained
Who will marry her and take her along
The girl was awake throughout the night
She bewailed bitterly
Again and again
He appeared in her vision like a Nigro
Tearing her attire
The girl bemoaned
Throughout  the night
Who can now 
Tackle problem of this girl
Try to find out some solution
The girl keeps shedding tears
Throughout the night
Cries and lies awake
Who can help her
Laws made by democracy are futile
It is a false drama only
The girl rang the blues
The girl wept bitterly
The tender bud cried bitterly.










*Ravana:  a multi-headed rakshasa (demon) king of the island of Lanka, and the chief antagonist in the Hindu epic Ramayana.

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...
