काश ऐसा होता – लीना टिब्बी

By: nehal June 27, 2019June 26, 2019

काश ऐसा होता कि ईश्वर मेरे बिस्तर के पास रखे पानी भरे गिलास के अन्दर से बैंगनी प्रकाश पुंज-सा अचानक प्रकट हो जाता… काश ऐसा होता कि ईश्वर शाम की अजान बन कर हमारे ललाट से दिन भर की थकान पोंछ देता… काश ऐसा होता कि ईश्वर आसूँ की एक बूंद बन जाता जिसके लुढ़कने…

“તું કોઈના પ્રેમમાં છે?” એણે ગ્રીન ટી ની ચૂસ્કી ભરતાં ગરિમાને પૂછ્યું. ગરિમા ફિક્કું હસી, “અરે નહીં તો.” ” તો પછી ઓજસ કોઈના પ્રેમમાં છે?” રિચાએ બીજો પ્રશ્ન કર્યો. ગરિમા હવે મોકળાશથી હસી પડી. “અરે, એવી કોઈ સમસ્યા નથી.” રિચા અને ગરિમા ઘણા વર્ષોથી ઑફિસમાં સાથે કામ કરે છે અને એકબીજાના ક્યારે નિકટના મિત્રો બની…

Anjuman Nadia, हिन्दी कविता, English Poetry, Poetry1 Comment

हलकी नीली यादें ओ विस्मृति के पहाड़ों में निर्वासित मेरे लोगो ! ओ मेरे रत्नों और जवाहरातो ! क्यों ख़ामोशी के कीचड़ में सोए हुए हो तुम ? ओ मेरे आवाम ! गुम हो चुकी हैं तुम्हारी यादें तुम्हारी हलकी नीली, वो आसमानी यादें । हमारे दिमागों में गाद भर चुकी है और विस्मरण के…

Rivers – Poem by Giuseppe Ungaretti

English Poetry, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Poetry

RIVERS This mutilated tree gives Me support, left in this pot-hole It has the bitterness of a circus Before or after the show. I watch The quiet passage of Clouds over the moon. This morning I stretched Myself in an urn of water, Like a relic, and rested. The Isonzo scoured Me like One of…

English Poetry, Poetry, Victor Hugo2 Comments

My Two Daughters In the cool dusk, enchanting evening drawing on, One like the dove, the other like the swan, Lovely, and joyful both of them, and, ah, so sweet, Big sister and little sister make their seat, Look, at the threshold of the garden; over them, A spray of white carnations, long, fragile of…

Poems – Rilke

English Poetry, Poetry, Rainer Maria Rilke2 Comments

What Survives Who says that all must vanish? Who knows, perhaps the flight of the bird you wound remains, and perhaps flowers survive caresses in us, in their ground. It isn’t the gesture that lasts, but it dresses you again in gold armor- from breast to knees- and the battle was so pure an Angel…

Song of the Universal – Walt Whitman

English Poetry, Poetry, Walt Whitman

Song of the Universal Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has chanted, Sing me the universal. In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed perfection. By every life a share or more or less, None born…

चिराग़ जलते हैं – सूर्यभानु गुप्त

By: nehal May 12, 2019May 9, 2019

हिन्दी कविता, Poetry, Suryabhanu GuptGhazal, life, truth

जिनके अंदर चिराग़ जलते हैं, घर से बाहर वही निकलते हैं। बर्फ़ गिरती है जिन इलाकों में, धूप के कारोबार चलते हैं। दिन पहाड़ों की तरह कटते हैं, तब कहीं रास्ते पिघलते हैं। ऐसी काई है अब मकानों पर, धूप के पाँव भी फिसलते हैं। खुदरसी उम्र भर भटकती है, लोग इतने पते बदलते हैं।…

The Journey One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice— though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankles. “Mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t stop. You knew what you had…

When Death Comes When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me, and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox; when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door…

जिनके नामों पे आज रस्ते हैं वे ही रस्तों की धूल थे पहले …… अन्नदाता हैं अब गुलाबों के जितने सूखे बबूल थे पहले …… मूरतें कुछ निकाल ही लाया पत्थरों तक अगर गया कोई ……. यहाँ रद्दी में बिक जाते हैं शाइर गगन ने छोड़ दी ऊँचाइयाँ हैं कथा हर ज़िंदगी की द्रोपदी-सी बड़ी…

English Poetry, Ivan Donn Carswell, Poetry

keeping a day ahead when space occupied by those preceding still reeks of waste is deemed vagrancy and planning non-events because your life depends on it does not explain why no demand exists in any case living in expectancy of a life-changing phone-call doesn’t bring order to the chaos surrounding you, so unleash suspense, be…

A S Kline, हिन्दी कविता, English Poetry, Federico García Lorca, Poetry, Vishnu Khare

Woodcutter. Cut out my shadow. Free me from the torture of seeing myself fruitless. Why was I born among mirrors? The daylight revolves around me. And the night herself repeats me in all her constellations. I want to live not seeing self. I shall dream the husks and insects change inside my dreaming into my…
