When I lyrically recite stories
Haiku (also called nature or seasonal haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Haiku is usually written in the present tense and focuses on nature (seasons).
कुछ रचनाओं का अंग्रेजी मे भावार्थ मुम्किन नहीं हो पता। Am really sorry friends as this time I did not create an English version as it would be unjust to the words written in Hindi.
I wrote this to write a journey but the words just got created and when the poem ended it got me more peace than what I intended to pen. A poet or writer does feel that peace after a creation. This is dedicated to all writers and poets in search.
A special mention is that I penned a guest post at Shashank’s blog, it’s my blogging journey. Something very special and dear to me, you can read it here.
This is the first time I have tried to record another poet’s work in my voice. The beautiful words of Vaada Khilaafi have been penned by Rajveer Singh Prajapati.
Rajveer is a poet and writer of the novel ‘Destined Lives – Journey till the start’. He carries an equal amount of passion for Books and Royal Enfield Bullet. His friends call him Wikipedia due to his obsession with reading articles on it. Get to know more about Rajveer’s work at http://rajveerspace.blogspot.in/.
Tried my hand at a new poetry form called Minute Poetry. The Minute Poem is rhyming verse form consisting of 12 lines of 60 syllables written in strict iambic meter. The poem is formatted into 3 stanzas of 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4; 8,4,4,4 syllables. The rhyme scheme is as follows:aabb, ccdd, eeff. Have tried to fit in the syllables taking some liberties in order to maintain the mood of the poem theme.
Rohan entered the party hall with a pounding heart and heavy steps. Even after six years of separation all he longed for was a glimpse of those deep black eyes and fuller lips, that one face hers. Among the various standing figures he saw Ananya – nervously pretentious of being participative among them. One glance and he drank her presence along with her need of him. They had just parted ways not hearts…
Here is my humble try at recording Teri khushboo main base khat
जिनको दुनिया की निगाहों से छुपाए रखा
जिनको इक उम्र कलेजे से लगाए रखा
दीन जिनको जिन्हें ईमान बनाए रखा
तूने दुनिया की निगाहों से जो बचकर लिखे
साल हा साल मेरे नाम बराबर लिखे
कभी दिन में तो कभी रात को उठकर लिखे
तेरे खु़शबू में बसे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
प्यार में डूबे हुए ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
तेरे हाथों के लिखे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
तेरे ख़त आज मैं गंगा में बहा आया हूँ
आग बहते हुए पानी में लगा आया हूँ
Translation:
Concealed from the world, you wrote them
Year after year, in my name, you wrote them
During the day, sometimes at night you wrote them
Steeped in your fragrance, these letters how could I burn
Immersed in love, these letters how could I burn
Written by your hands, these letters how could I burn
Your letters afloat in the Ganga I have set
On fire, the flowing waters I have set
I have tried to record Amir Meenai’s ghazal Ahista Ahista, hope you like it.
सरकतिी जाए है रुख्ह से नक़ाब आहिस्ता आहिस्ता
निकलता आ रहा है आफताब आहिस्ता आहिस्ता
जावां होने लगे जब वो तो हम से कर लिया परदा
हया यकलख्ह्त आईइ और शबाब आहिस्ता आहिस्ता
शब-ए-फुर्कत का जागा हूँ फरिश्तों अब तो सोने दो
कभी फ़ुर्सत में कर लेना हिसाब आहिस्ता आहिस्ता
हमारे और तुम्हारे प्यार में बस फ़र्क है इतना
इधर तो जल्दी जल्दि है उधर आहिस्ता आहिस्ता
वो बेदर्दी से सर काटे “अमीर” और मैं कहु उन से
हुज़ूर आहिस्ता आहिस्ता, जनाब आहिस्ता आहिस्ता
A sensuous poem in English and Hindi.
And the Hindi version of it, version because I have not translated but written on the same theme.
