ये जो माँ होती है

ये जो माँ होती है,
अपने दिन-रात खोती है ।
बच्चों के आँसू पोंछ कर,
खुद चुप-चाप रोती है ।

चलती है धुप में,
हमें छाओं देती है ।
ये जो माँ होती है,
सब चुप-चाप सेहती है ।

चूल्हे की आंच में,
रोटियों के साथ तपती है ।
खिला कर पेट भर हमें,
खुद भूखी सोती है ।
ये जो माँ होती है,
सब चुप-चाप सेहती है ।

सब की खुशियों के लिए,
अपने सुख भूलती है ।
सारे दुःख भुला कर,
मुस्कुराना सीखती है ।

शब्दों में समझाना मुश्किल है,
ये क्या होती है?
ये जो माँ होती है,
अपने बच्चों का आसमान होती है ।

The Moon

There’s a Moon above my head and it shines so bright. I stare in amazement and curiosity and delight. I have questions to ask; and I think I might. But when I try to ask, he bids me goodnight.

The one who lives with desires, but none. There’s a Moon above my head and all his brightness fades. I ask him, “Why?” He says, “Dark shadows invade.” “Slowly each day, by piece I am torn. Only the Sun puts me together and I am reborn.” “Oh Moon above my head! Does the Sun possess all might?” “Dear little one”, he says, “He is the most generous and bright.” “He is a humble giv...

From Fame to a Flame

It was like music when it rained. Pretty amusing when I gained. Very abusing when it dawned, That all of it; was a game. I heard the music when it rained. I sip on gold, I sip on fame, My own desires in a frame, My all emotions in a flame, I should have known, it wasn’t water when it rained! I think, I say. I say, I think. I was so thoughtful before it came. And I wanted to dance, when it rained. I thought you heard. I called your name. All my love, All in vain. I was so happy when it rained. Now I am still. Now I am cold. I lose all power that I hold. And now I am desperate. Now in drain. I long for that music when it rained. I fooled myself in the fooling game. I heard the music when it rained.
