The dark side of life
Everyone hides from the world
Eyes feign innocence

or sad

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
Weekend Writing Prompt #61 – Quarantine
Weekend Writing Prompt #61 – Quarantine
Can
Someone
help me
find a way
to put
some files in my mind
to
Quarantine
which do not let me
forgive and forget
past
allow me to
live in the present
making my and others life
difficult
so
they cannot
corrupt my mind to
take control
over my brain
with its evil design
to disrupt
my present
allow me
to
live in peace
and enjoy
life

#Weekly Tanka Prompt #Poetry Challenge – Week 102 – Experience & Life
Tanka- Experience, and Life
when I look back at
life full experiences
where to go and share
everyone has its own
and if you are not famous
no one will pay any heed
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 42- Time
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 42
Time
the most intriguing part of life
the mute spectator
still being held for
whatever happens to us.
time is running slow
time is flying by
time is bad
time is good
time to born
time to die
time, the poor fellow is
always held responsible
ups and downs
in one’s life
but the beauty of time lies not in
giving too much of your time, or
giving less of your time
but
making a balance
on how you divide, manage and balance your time
otherwise
it can
can make or break your life
Nurturing Thursday- Live in the moment

We start to live in our thoughts and all the joy that can only be experienced in this moment become unavailable to us. ~ Sadia Saeed
walk when you walk
talk when you talk
listen when you listen
read when you read
eat when you eat
savor the taste
the list is too long
so whenever your mind
roams away from
whatever you were doing
just breath
and bring it back
to this very moment

When heartbeat is in sync with
The music of life

“Beauty is present in all creation, but the danger lies in the fact that we allow ourselves to be influenced by what people think.
We deny our own beauty because others can’t or won’t recognize it. We try to imitate what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as ‘pretty’ & little by little, our soul fades.
We forget the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.”
― Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra
