Who will listen to me,


Who will listen to me, 
Those who were listening, all of them have left.
Why did they have asked me to wait here?
Silence withers away, mind wondering
Why this distressing occurrence to me?
The sweetest days filled with joy smiling
Gleeful life has become my scorched end.
Disturbed by the emotions.
The long lonely nights are staying 
Longer then expected.
As In the desert people wait for black clouds for rains
I am waiting for my loved ones.
My mind stuck in the trap in sorrowful thoughts
My fate was written on a very auspicious time 
With loving thoughts in which 
Eternal happiness and joyous life was written.
Why is the fury of suffering on a stagnant life?
Awakened conscious sudden shown the golden 
-rays of the sun in the light of distracted life.
Consciousness of the mind brought me 
Out from the darkness;
Look, the sun was set yesterday, 
Today, the sun is again a source of strength in the world. 
This is an area of ​​traffic going and coming.
Why lay a web of weed cots around you?
Be decisive uplift life from the agony and sorrows;
Salvation of precious life with, 
the soft sweet memories of the bygone era.

मेरा दर्द किससे बाँटूँ जो सुननेवाले थे 
वे सब तो चले गये।
मुझे यहॉ रुकने का कहकर 
सब चिर प्रवास में क्यों चले गये?
मौन बेदना मुरझाया मन सोच रहा 
क्या अपराध हुआ मुझसे?
अलाप भरे मधुर दिवस तारों सम 
इठलाते सदैव थे मुसकाते,
उल्लास भरा जीवन मेरा झुलस रहा 
अन्तर्दाह की दावानल में।
मनोविलाप से व्यथित मलिन 
काली रातें कटती नहीं काटे।
जैसे काली घटा का इन्तज़ार मरुधरा करती 
मैं भी करती अपनों का।
द्वन्द जाल में अटका मन सोच रहा 
मंगलाशीष से लिखी गयी थी मेरी भाग्य रेखा
जिसमें चिरकालीन सुख ही सुख था।
निस्तब्ध जीवन पर संताप का 
कोहराम क्यों है मचा हुआ
विचलित जीवन के प्रकाश में 
निर्विकार सूर्य की सुनहरी किरणें ।
मन की चेतनता को हलकार रही; 
देखो कल सूर्य अस्त हुआ था,
आज शक्तिस्रोत बन फैल रहा दिगंत मे।
यह तो आवागमन का क्षेत्र है।
क्यों वीहड कॉटों का जाल बिछाते अपने इर्द गिर्द?
दुख की तन्द्रा से उठ ऊपर 

उजड़े जीवन के बनो निर्णायक,
बीते युग की मृदुल मधुर स्मृति में 

अनमोल जीवन का कर उद्धार।
