Culture

This world has no other nationWith so copious cultural diversityYet bound by a formidable unityA unique and unambiguous blendOf different customs and traditionsIn this oldest surviving civilization. Alas some dark forces, their minionsAre out to wreck the age-old traditionsOf the Bhartiya culture and religionsPeace, harmony and prosperity of nationWith their exotic and ill-conceived notionOf the […]

Reverie

On those cold wintry morningsWhile cuddled in my comfy reclinerUnder the bright and warm sunshineBeguiled and lost in your pious reverieNostalgia of shared yesteryears’ memoriesOften sweeps over my thoughts and senses. The eyes shut yet mind goes meanderingYour awesome persona with twinkling eyesYour fairy charm with elegant angelic auraOur one last rendezvous, short yet affableThen […]

Existence

Deep in the eternity of mind,A rhythmic call continues.Bits of life by-gone,Spark diluting the reality.The strings without-consciousness,Play on un-composed, unsung.Life goes on performing the routines,In the midst of tangibles and intangibles.There you go torn, camouflaging The nebula of fulfillment.The bondage of I’s and My’s churns, Squeezing to the state of solitude.Infinite is the spectrum,That is drawn in […]

अस्तित्व

मस्तिष्क की अनंत गहराइयों में,अहिर्निश लयबध्द चलती एक पुकार.स्मृतियाँ बीते जीवन की,कौंधती भ्रमित करती यथार्थ.तार अवचेतन ही स्पंदित होते,मूक  अगद्य थम जाते.जीवन दैनन्दिनी में बीता जाता,स्पृश्य-अस्पृश्य के बीच.टूटा-टूटा, कटा-बटा-सा चलता अस्तित्व,प्रछन्न उपलब्धियों की छाँव तले.मंथन ‘मैं’ और ‘मेरे’ बंधनों का,रसहीन कर ला छोड़ता है अकेला.द्रष्टि का अनंत विष्तीर्ण पटल,नयनाभिराम, मनमस्तिक में अंकित,बहुरंगी, वैविध्यमय, अबूझ,नव, नव-नव, […]

Recycled Teenagers

Some of my long time friendsFeel elevated in calling selfAs avid “recycled teenagers”Arguing age is just a number…They feel cheery to announceLet’s eat, drink and make merryDon’t worry about getting old,Instead worry only thinking old. But I wonder if that be trueThen contrasting to teenagersWhy do they so often look forA dentist, physician or specialistTo […]

Butterfly

On this bright and sunny dayI was comfortable and cozyOn my favorite reclining chairWhen I saw this cute butterflyMeandering flower to flowerBrushed aside my shoulder,Held on to wall and went sleepy… An instant thought occurredThe two have queer contrastLove too is like a butterflyBeautiful and heartwarmingBut spirited and spontaneousThough it pleases where it goesIt will […]

The Eternal Canopy

​Heart-shaped leaves catch the passing breezeA gentle whisper stirs the emperor of treesEach pointed tip channels the raindrop’s traceWhile quiet shadows fill the peaceful space. Underneath its vast and fine-textured canopyA quiet, soothing shelter spreads out completelyIt offers a vibrant sanctuary, green and wideWhere both birds and weary travellers can abide. For generations past, its […]

आस

सूख चुके हैं प्रेमपात्र सब, मदिरा की गागर दे दो भूल चुका हूँ कौन कौन है, विस्मृति का आश्रय दे दो. ईश्वर सबकुछ भूल गया है, कृष्ण नही अब रथ पर हैंसत्य-प्रेम की राहों पर हम, फिर भी काँटे पथ पर हैं. जीवन बंधा-बंधा सा क्यों है, हाहाकार मचा यह क्यों है मानव संबंधों के तलतम  में, यह भूकंपी […]

आत्मिक

लाख समझाने पर भी नहीं समझता आईना मेरा अंदर की टूटती नसें भी उकेर दीं बनाकर उसने दरकती लकीरें वो जो बैठे हैं गहरे दिल में मेरे आईना मेरा उन्हें भी हूबहू दिखाता है. कैसे छिपाऊँ दर्दे-दिल को सामने जब बैरी-मितवा हो ऐसा चुप हूँ मैं, चुप हैं वो, मंजर है खामोशी का यह कैसा. दिल की जिद है रग-रग में […]

समय मेरा

समय चुप है अपनी निष्ठुरता लिए बदल रहा है निरंतर. तुम समय हो मेरे समय जिसने प्यार दिया अनंत डुबोकर किया एकाकार खुशियों से अमृत सुख की स्मृतियों से साँस साँस में चलती अनवरत सामीप्य की अव्यक्त अनुभूतियों से.     समय मेरा दूर असंबद्ध सा अबदर्शक सा बन बदल रहा है     सहारे तन के मन के     तुझसे जो बंधे थे अडिग अटूट  […]
