पानी आसमां से भी गिरता है
और ज़मीन से भी फूटता है
सर्दी की सुबह लॉन को ओस की चादर से धक् देता है
और पत्ते भी कुछ बटोर लेते है इससे

कुछ कुँए बहुत सहेज कर रखते है इसे
जैसे कोई पुराना राज़ हो इस में
बस एक अजीब सी महक आती है
और अन्दर झाँकने में डर लगता है
कभी कुछ बोलों तो अपनी आवाज़ भी भयानक लगती है

कभी पलकों में थमता भी नहीं
बह जाता है , बहा ले जाता है
कभी काजल  के बाँध से बंध  जाता है
हौले हौले तेज़ाब  बन कर अन्दर ही अन्दर रिसता  है

पानी आसमां से भी गिरता है
और ज़मीन से भी फूटता है

Hi Stone,

Your poems have simple and earthy a characteristic to them. Its always wonderful to read your poetry.

I dont know who you are, where you are or what you do, but the your poems are reflection of your feelings which seems to be natural and untouched.

Keep it up....

I am sending you Byron's famous poem, which strikes the chord, just like your (hindi)poems do. Enjoy!
==============

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal.

--Byron
