☆ ~ Rooted Memories… ~ ☆

☆

Sometime in the past, my life was grounded,

moored in the time and space, inexplicably

With the dreams and memories unsolvable

like a conundrum, so much irreconcilably…

*

However hard, I tried to unshackle it,

it got more and more entangled only

Tried intensifying the efforts but in vain

The love refused to sojourn lonely…

*

My will steadily forces me to move forward

but the heart still resides in the yore

Enmeshed in time, gathered new experiences

as the zeitgeist gave me offers, galore

*

In the twisted spiral cloisters of time,

echoes of lost laughters, resonate endlessly

Silent sighs, buried in the anguished secrets,

stepped forward, but got dragged back only…

*

Testament is there, even when you’re absent,

love thrives, which was never there before

So what, if in the past, life was somberly stuck,

but now lovelorn heart flourishes, galore..!

Bride is ready for her groom

Waiting eagerly to bloom…

*

Beautiful innocent purest real

Green and gold flowers and pearl .

*

Diamonds platinum silver and what not

Groom offers what he has got!!!

*

The age is fine to flourish as whole

Playing both their heartful role…

*

Wait finishes till comes he

Both unite not he and me….

*

The best days of life pass

Enjoy the taste of life such as…

*

Days pass, years gone through

Time doesn’t wait to reach through…

*

Clothes turn to white from green

Wrinkles on face eyes mean…

*

Wait is not finished there now too

Oh God do visit me it’s You….

*

Life is full of time and tide

We never leave our role as bride….

*

Wait wait wait wait is fun

It’s so nice to meet long run…

*

He responds as per our desire

As a lover of age demands pure….

*

All is well and good at last

only is curiosity till breath last

Till breath last….

क्यूँ कर आरजू करूँ कि

तुम मुझे चाहोगे उम्र भर

इतना ही ऐतबार काफी है कि

ताउम्र भूल नहीं पाओगे तुम मुझे

☆☆

Why should I desire that you

must love me throughout the life

The trust that you won’t be able

to forget me lifelong, is enough

☆☆☆☆☆

तुझको ही फुरसत न थी

किसी फसाने को पढ़ने की

मैं तो बिकता ही रहा तेरे

शहर में किताबों की तरह…!

☆☆

You only had no time to

to read any parables…

Though I kept on selling

like books in your city…!

☆☆☆☆☆

कभी उल्फत, तो कभी नियत बदल गई

खुदगर्ज जब हुए, तो फिर सीरत बदल गई

अपना कुसूर, दूसरों के सर पे डाल कर

कुछ लोग सोचते हैं कि हकीकत बदल गई

☆☆

By attributing own guilt

on someone else’s head

Some people think that

the reality has changed…

☆☆☆☆☆

कभी चुभ जाती है बात

तो कभी तल्ख़ लहज़े मारते हैं

ये ज़िंदगी है, साहब! यहाँ गैरों से

कम, अपनों से ज्यादा हारते हैं!

☆☆

Sometimes the words hurt you,

Sometimes the tone agonizes you

This is the life, dear! Here we lose

More to loved ones than outsiders!

☆ – “The Philosopher’s Stone”– ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆

☆

He remembers when he died

he remembers when again born

He remembers that day

So do he remember the night

*

she was beautiful and shining

when she said he was trivial

but he was more beautiful

when he just smiled after

*

that night was sleepless

for he was awakened

and that night lasted for years

till he became someone

*

like iron becomes a gold

by the touch of philosopher’s stone

so he becomes a mountain

when she called him a stone

*

she still remains unfound

but stands tall, the mountain

as it’s hard to find a stone

in front of a mountain

‘हम! एक असलियत …’ स्व डॉ राजकुमार तिवारी ‘सुमित्र’ – We: A reality ☆ English Version by – Hemant Bawankar

(This poem has been cited from my book “Yield of the potentiality” an English Version of संभावना की फसल by Dr. Rajkumar Tiwari ‘Sumitra’.)

We boast

to break the ‘Chakravyuha’*

to transform the world.

But,

we get entangled

in spider’s web.

Be it,

in day or in night.

Neither we could break it

nor could we bend it

as we desire.

Agreed that

human being is

an effigy of weaknesses.

He has

something good, something bad.

We accept that

weakness in character

is inevitable

But, then

we multiply

others’ character with a factor.

* Chakravyūha – Chakravyūha is a wheel like military formation used to surround enemies, depicted in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. It resembles a labyrinth of multiple defensive walls. Here it is taken as complications of life.

Neither is there any happiness now,

nor any pain left to make me sad…

Have developed immunity to every

shade of agonising pain and anguish

*

A faceless hope is there on every face

Whomever you look at, is headless only

Everyone’s life is like a traveller’s journey

someone in a hurry, some move leisurely

*

Never came to know that you’ve allowed

him to go who was so intimately close

Though he left empty handed but did take

away the heart and soul of the house..!

If I don’t remember you,

I become restless.

Knoweth not, whether life

आये हो जो आँखों में

तो कुछ देर ठहर जाओ,

एक उम्र गुजर जाती है

यूँही एक ख्वाब सजाने में…

Now that you’ve come in eyes

then, stay there for a while,

An epoch passes by in

Realising such a dream…!

Result of my passion

Will definitely come out

From the same dark sea only

The effulgence shall emerge…

On meadows of mind

Horses of vices ride

flowers bloom again

from the strength of sky

Angels never die

*Night pulls me down

darkness rules the town

I see everything clearly

moon rises in my eye

Angels never die

*

Turns without a sign

wheel of destiny is fine

carves the own path,

virtues that never cry

Angels never die

*

Try the best I can

When worst is rained upon

life is just a short while

for even if I die

Angels never die

O’ Life! I gave you so much of my sweat and

blood but you’ve given me hardly anything

If you want, you can search my blank hands

There is nothing left in these bare hands,

except for a few meaningless cursed lines…

Isn’t there anything left for me in your lap?

*

I’ve seen so many human demigods here that

in front of whom the real God fades away

Oh God, why’ve you sent such a lacklusterless

spring this time, with no greenery at all…

But my heart is too stubborn like a wilful child

Either it wants everything or nothing at all..!

Rainy days are inviting you

With its call for extra hugs

an ecstatic cloud has

bumped into your anklet,
