आकाश गंगा
आकाश गंगा
जब चला जाता है सूर्य का आलोक रथ
क्षितिज के उस पार
और उतर आती है धरती पर नीरव निशा
अपनी रहस्यमयी श्यामल छवि के साथ
एक एक कर टिमटिमाने लगते हैं यत्र-तत्र
उज्ज्वल हीरक कणों जैसे तारक गण
देखते ही देखते जगमगा उठता है गगन
रत्नजटित विशाल दर्पण के सदृश्य
और तब , गहन अन्धकार को भेदती
प्रकट होती है उस अनंत विस्तार में -
एक छोर से दूसरे छोर तक प्रवहमान
स्वनामधन्या--आकाशगंगा
समाविष्ट किये अपने आँचल में
लक्ष -लक्ष प्रकाशपुंजों का वैभव
अगणित सूर्य ,चन्द्र और नक्षत्रों के विपुल संसार को
अपने दुर्निवार आकर्षण की परिधि में बांध
बह रही है अनवरत, कालदेव की सहगामिनी बन
नीले आकाश के हृदयस्थल को सींचती
स्वर्गिक सौंदर्य की अप्रतिम ज्योतिरेखा
वह स्वयंप्रभा-- आकाशगंगा !!

THE NIGHT SKY
Carrying its glorious lamp,
And all its warm sunshine.
The Earth looks down wearied,
With the onset of dark shadows,
The Earth looks down wearied,
With the onset of dark shadows,
And the world retires to bed,
Putting stop to day's labour.
But those who keep awake,
Shall watch a sublime tableau,
Of celestial bodies above,
In the star-spangled stage.
Where those tiny diamonds, -
Scattered from end to end
Play hide-and-seek all night,
Twinkling in that vast playground.
Ever watched in the night sky -
That unique pageant of beauty?
Ever waited for a shooting star -
For the grant of a wish, secretly?
As often as time permits,
I gaze at this endless treasure,
Feeling blissful and mesmerized,
Spell-bound by a divine glamour!

THE HILL COTTAGE
With snowy peaks as guardians,
And wildflowers, family members.
Far from the crowd of cities
Their deafening din and noise
Far from the annoying traffic,
Of ever- on- rush vehicles.
Far from the narrow mindset,
And wildflowers, family members.
Far from the crowd of cities
Their deafening din and noise
Far from the annoying traffic,
Of ever- on- rush vehicles.
Far from the narrow mindset,
Of religious fanatics,
Far from ill-will and hatred,
Spread with selfish motives.
Far from the fear of marauders,
Far from unknown maladies,
Far from the delusive influence,
Of self-proclaimed deities.
The serene spot seems to call,
Every one of us to be there,
So, come and feel refreshed,
Rejuvenating in the lap of Nature!

BELLS OF FAITH
Behold the bells hanging,
In the old temple's premises,
High above the tall pine trees,High above the snowy peaks.
Do they really occupy a space,
Among the clouds atop the hills,
Or is it just an optical illusion,
Stretched up to the horizon?
Do they symbolise the faith,
Maintained by the local people,
In the presence of a benign deity,
Safeguarding the entire region?
The faith that never dwindles,
But sustains the believer's strength,
To go through life's ordeals,
With trust in the ultimate justice.
And listen to the bells chiming,
As the wind passes by them,
Don't they sound singing humbly
The praise of the supreme power?

MOUNTAIN STREAM
Dashing out on a playful spree,
Would you allow me to accompany you
All the way to the great grand sea?
Would you allow me to accompany you
All the way to the great grand sea?
Mesmerised by your magical moves ,
My heart too yearns to join you
Get mingled with your milky water,
Get mingled with your milky water,
Embark upon a long adventure.
How often you receive cordially,
The smallest rivulet on the way,
Making it a part of yourself
And flow on to meet a big river.
And rise from there as clouds
Descending to the earth as showers,
Filling its lakes and rivers and oceans,
And maintain the cycle of water.
Pray, let me be merged with you,
And be part of the eternal process
Nature seldom fails to maintain,
Nature seldom fails to maintain,
To ensure the existence of all life.
