I wrote this sometime in 1986
प्यास
मैं ज्योति, तुम उजियारा
मैं नभ प्रतीक, तुम सूरज हो
मैं सौरभ, तुम हो सुवास
मैं हूँ प्रार्थना, तुम बने शिवि
मैं प्रकृित निश्चछल, तुम उज्जवल मानव
मैं पूर्ण, तुम हो संपूर्ण
मैं सरिता कलकल, तुम सागर सम
बहती बहती पवन हूँ मैं, तुम मंद हवा का झोंका हो
मैं गति, तुम हो ठहराव
मैं आकाश, तुम ब्रम्हांड हो
मैं प्रेरणा, तुम कल्पना
मैं बूंद बनी प्यासे तुम
मैं स्वाति, तुम चातक

Belated Merry Anniversary
Revelatory, lyrical, quixotic, sensitive, ethnical, instinctive, fortunate.
Re: Belated Merry Anniversary
Thanks a bunch for your lovely comment and yes, I am indeed fortunate 🙂 You have a way with words.
Awesome. I always look forward to reading your posts :).
Many happy returns of the day.
Thank you Pooja 🙂
Its really beautiful, I didn’t understand a couple of words though…. I guess I’m losing touch with my Hindi. 🙂
Happy Anniversary! 🙂
Thanks 🙂
If you wish, I can help you with the words you did not understand.
Ah, wonder why i didn’t think of that earlier:)
What do “chatak” and “tharav” mean?
Chatak is a bird AKA Papiha AKA the common hawk cuckoo, the call of this bird in hindi is transcribed as ‘pee-kahan pee-kahan’. Legend has it that the bird drinks only when the swati nakshatra (constellation) rises during sawan, the monsoon season.
Tharav means stillness, stability.
Thanks 🙂 Now I competely understand this piece. Would love to see you post anything else you might have written…. This one is really beautiful.
🙂
I actually want to put my hindi poems online, too lazy… …
wow this at 18 ! beautiful…
just one question though – has more life experiences changed any of these sentiments ?
Thank you 🙂
And to answer your question, no life’s experiences have not changed any of these sentiments 🙂 and I am glad it hasnt.
Beautiful!

Meri panktiyan Mahadevi ji jaisi gehrai bayan kar hee nahi sakti .. she is a class in herself. My favourite one from her still remains “Mein neer bhari dukh ki badri”
Excellent work ! (Not just this, but the others that you have put at swatisani.net as well)
