रिश्ता - Relationship
I realized, I have been scribbling some insane poetry and not publishing them. Since now I am away traveling, this is the right time to do it lest I lose them in myriad of works.
So, here is the first one, feeble attempt of translation is in comment section.
अजीब सी उलझन है ये
और उस से भी अजीब है
ये रिश्ता .. .. मेरा.. .. तुम्हारा |
बेबसी में लिपटा हुआ
दो भागों में बँटा हुआ
खामोश और चीख़ता हुआ
मर कर भी जीता हुआ |
उम्मीद है और नहीं भी
इंतज़ार है और नहीं भी
कुछ तो है
और कुछ नहीं भी |
क्यों बंद दरवाज़े के पीछे से
झाँकते हैं हम
एक दूसरे की बेचैनी को
सुनते हैं हम |
फुरक़त की बेबसी से
जूझते हैं हम |
खामोश गलियों में
दूर तक ढूँढ़ते हैं हम |
रू-ब-रू न हो जाएँ
इसी डर से मरते भी हैं हम |
अजीब सी उलझन है ये
और उस से भी अजीब है
ये रिश्ता .. .. मेरा.. .. तुम्हारा |

The translation
it is a strange puzzlement,
and stranger still,
is this relationship-yours’ and mine.
enwrapped in helplessness,
divided in two parts,
silent and yet screaming,
dying and yet trying to be animate.
the presence of hope, and its absence,
there is wait and its futility
knowing, we have something between us,
maybe,
or maybe we don’t…
why do we look,
from behind closed doors,
listening to
each others’ restlessness ?
we struggle with helplessness
of being separated,
look for each other
till the end of hushed streets
and then dread the thought of
meeting face to face.
it is a strange puzzlement,
and stranger still,
is this relationship-yours’ and mine…..

जिंदगी सिर्फ़ एक उलझन बन कर रह गई है। कहे या ना कहे , करे या ना करे बस इसी कश्मकस में बीत रही है जिंदगी। I am a regular lurker at your blogs for quite some time. I like your post very much.

Remember the song:
uljhan suljhe na… rasta suje naa… jaaoon kahan mein … jaoon kahaan??

I was reminded of that song.
Have a safe journey!

Beautifully written. I do enjoy reading your other posts, but I like the ones with your poetry the best. This one sounds like it was written from the heart.

Excellent words.. how do you manage to portray love, happiness, sorrow, confusion, hope and helplessness and so many more emotions, all in a single poetry. Also, through the words, I see a very special relationship. Something much much more treasured, valued and beautiful than the common relations that we generally have. सचमुच यह रिश्ता बड़ा अजीब है !!

अरे मैं तो समझता था कि रिश्तो में तो अपनी ही खुशबू रहती है।

फुरक़त की बेबसी से
जूझते हैं हम |
खामोश गलियों में
दूर तक ढूँढ़ते हैं हम |
रू-ब-रू न हो जाएँ
इसी डर से मरते भी हैं हम |
simply..superb…
