Barkha...Baarish...Barsaat!

No excuses for the long break....you can call it.. procrastination...laziness..aaah watever!!!

Could not really come up with the english version of my previous post (poem - Something for the hindi loving souls), believe me its difficult! Still will keep trying :). For now...heres one more... written on 26th August 2006. The most charming part of this poem is that...it is a part of the combined project (A very brief one though)...started by me and my lil sis..Kruti. We would on a topic to write on..and we both used to write differently on the same topic.

One day it was a beautiful rainy day....and it didn't take much of an effort for the two of us to decide on the topic that day. The topic was without doubt ... Baarish (Rains). Here's my version of it...

BAARISH

Baarish hai kudrat ka aisa anmol tohfa....
jiski khubsurti ka... haay! kya kehna!!

Sundarta hai bhi uski itni........
ki ek-ek boond uske lage heere moti....

Uske har boond mein hota hai shudhata ka aisa shrot...
jiske chchute hi , Dharti ho jaye oth-proth!!

Dharti ke daaman mein haryali ke rang hai bhar jaate.....
uske badan se hai mitti ki khushboo aane lagti!!!

Baarish se bheegi dharti ki sundarta pe gor koi kare....
toh apne hosh ko woh zaroor kho bethe!!

Par insaan hai aaj apne kaam mein mushroof itna.....
use nahi yeh pata, isi mein hai zindagi ka woh raaz chupa...
jisko hai woh raat-din ek kar dhoondhta.
