A Journey

Like wanderer on a smoky road,
My soul was filled with doubt.
Loaded with complex emotions,
I 'searched' for my whereabouts...

    My soul was filled with doubt.
    Loaded with complex emotions,
    I 'searched' for my whereabouts...


    अरे दीवानों, मुझे पहचानों,कहाँ से आई ,मैं हूँ कौन
    मैं हूँ कौन,मैं हूँ कौन ,मैं हूँ कौन
    मैं हूँ 'Saru', मैं हूँ 'Saru', मैं हूँ ,मैं हूँ ,मैं हूँ 'Saru'.

    Nice search Saru.
    You are really "saru" only.
    Thanks for this beautiful philosphical expression.

    Heartily best wishes to you on Dipawali.

    "but the mists lift up again
    and we learn ...
    that life is richers
    when seasoned with pain"..

    Nice one once again Saru.

    Life does happen when life seems to be a broken ship after all tried and tested methods.

    Great! striving towards poetic perfection..

    Life in its sphere of discovery & perceptions,
    Life is a conscious force & special action,
    which enables to hold apart the relations,
    Nature seeks the harmony & offer best of luck..

    really encapsulates the emotions of a traveller. And travelling is one thing that i am insanely passionate about. they always say, its the journey that matters and should be enjoyed as much as the destination. in essence life is a journey and i try my best to enjoy it:) thanks for putting that into words:)
    Happy Deepawali n a prosperous new year:)
    take care

    you have said it all right ms.Saru..short but you have captured every thought..so true our journey in our lives includes having one step in a world full of uncertainties..we don't know where our steps on our life's journey will lead us..we have a lot of questions that's sometimes makes our lives complicated but the best part of it is..we are still blessed to have the "gift" of life and whatever uncertainties that lies ahead the best thing to do is move on and step forward to the fulfillment of our destiny ;)

    passing by with a smile :)

    Awesome Words... Its like many people are Lost in this world.. They go oon the life path where they dont ever want to go, and wont go on the life path which is meant for them, and The Creator has made that path... But atleast there are people who knows the path... This lines suits them perfectly...

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं

फ़ुर्सत में मिलना मुझसे यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई देखना है तुम्हें एक टक शिकवे करने है तुमसे कई हज़ार जब नाराज़ हुए थे तुम मुझसे और जब छेड़ा था मुझे बीच बाज़ार चवन्नी-अठन्नी सा ढोंग मत करना मान लेना मेरे हर कहे को सुबकियाँ से काम मत चलाना बेहने देना ग़र आँसू बेहे तो  सख़्त होने का दिखावा छोड़ आना नुक्कड़ वाले बनिये की दुकान पे सिद्दत से एक बार बोल देना  कि गलती होती है इंसान से तुम मुझे छोड़ गए उसका तुम्हें कभी अफ़सोस हुआ है क्या मैं नहीं तुमसे पूछूँगी  कि मेरे बाद मेरी तरह किसी को छुआ है क्या  ना मैं इस युग की मीरा हूँ  ना हो तुम मेरे घनश्याम बस इश्क़ है तुमसे बेपन्नह मुझे बाक़ी सब कुछ है मुझमें आम  तुम भी सोचते होगे ना  यह तीली सा इश्क़, ज्वालामुखी कब हुआ यूँ समझ लो तुम्हारे जाने के बाद तुम्हारे ख़याल ने दिन में 100 बार मुझे छुआ अब गणित में तो तुम अव्वल हो हिसाब लगा ही लोगे पर सोच के आना जनाब  पिछले 15 सालों का हिसाब कैसे दोगे  तो आना बस फ़ुरसत में  यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं...
