And touch comforting a lot

making trees barren
The mighty withering wind
Blows off all the leaves

clinging to the trees
leaves know not how to survive
the withering wind
———————————————-
cling on to the truth
fear, not the withering wind
fight with all your might

Haiku- Sates, Fuels
Egoistic’s soul
sate with I, me and myself
fuels with self-praise
Haiku -Dark
The dark side of life
Everyone hides from the world
Eyes feign innocence

either you are happy
or sad
show it with full expression
suppression helps you not
only brings depression
you can’t live your life
with ideology alone
enjoy every bit of it
but
in moderation

हवा में सीलापन सा क्यों है कहीं पे कोई रोया है क्या?
महलों में सब सुविधा पाकर कहीं कोई तो हँस ना पाए,
जूठन पाकर झोपड़ीवाला ख़ुशी के मारे रोया है क्या?
दिन भर खूब मजूरी की पर शाम को खाना घर न आया
बिलख बिलख कर रोते कोई भूख का मारा सोया है क्या ?
लालच में वृक्ष काट लिए, बीज कभी भी बोये नहीं
अब मौसम का रुख देखकर कहीं पर कोई रोया है क्या?
बेटियां कितनी बलि चढ़ा दी ,एक बेटे के लालच में ,
आज उसी बेटी की खातिर किसीका का दिल कहीं रोया है क्या?
सागर से मिलने वाली नदियों का जल जब सूख गया,
आस लगा कर बैठा सागर,बिलख बिलख कर रोया है क्या?
पापों का लेखा जोखा कर कहीं कोई ग़मगीन हुआ क्या
कहीं कोई शैतान ठिठक कर हँसते हँसते रोया है क्या?
यूं तो कारण बहुत मिले , रोज़ रोज़ हँसने गाने के
बहलाने को चेहरा छिपाकर, बार बार मुंह धोया है क्या
हवा में सीलापन सा क्यों है ?कही पे कोई रोया है क्या?
~इंदिरा
Translation in English
why breeze is so damp, has someone somewhere cried
some never smile even when they get all the comforts of the world
All the comforts at door, can’t make some smile
Has some poor laughed with a little more than expectation
has someone ever cried regretting no seed was ever sown
those who sacrificed girl fetus to get one son
has some mother ever shed tears remembering that girl
has some mother ever shed tears remembering that girl
has sea sometimes cried and longed for them
when the river water could not reach sea ’cause they dried with our negligence
has sea sometimes cried and longed for them
why breeze is so damp, has someone somewhere cried
