कोई दिन
ऐसा भी जाता है कभी
के लगता है
मैं एक बैरंग ख़त हूँ
जो लौट आया है वहीँ
जहाँ से चला था कभी
koi din
aisa bhi jata hai kabhi
ke lagta hai
main ek baerang khat hoon
jo laut aaya hai wahin
jahan se chala tha kabhi
sometimes
a day goes by such
that it seems
i am but an undelivered letter
which has returned, to where
it had started from, some time

Such a beautiful sentiment, Adi - and so wonderfully expressed. I wish I understood more Hindi so I could rely less in the English version.
Do we not all feel that way, at least once? Lost in transition, perhaps? :)
Yours,
Vi
so....
sad?
my first impression was this...
but in a flash of light i saw myself with a returned letter in my hand... and why i was smiling?!
oh there was a misspelling in the recipient's address...
i opened the letter... felt as if i'd love to add some more words...
thought perhaps these words were lacking...
see? the letter can start anew... the letter has not lost anything but gained some more... just the poor recipient should wait more...
;)
Adi, very impressive and also expressive poem...
Beautiful as always.
vi: thanks. sometimes i wish i knew all the languages of this world, even those that don't exist anymore or even those still to evolve. but then when i feel life in all its glory and sadness around me, i feel i don't need any language at all.
human: he he, u turned it around na. i often do it myself, dee comes up to me with a problem that's bothering her, at school or college or family or friends or even delhi and the country and i love to turn it around to point towards that elusive silver lining.
good to have a taste of my own medicine :) thanks again.
wow, so poignant!
hmmmmm...
it seems i am more interested in the comments than this beautiful poem itself, bad but cannot help it... turning around hmmm?
