ज़िन्दगी का सफर

freedom-1330003__340

एक अजनबी के संग ,

निकल पड़ी मै , देखने ज़िन्दगी के रंग ,

उस  अजनबी का साथ छूटा , बात छूटी, वह परछाई बनी रही ,

खो गयी मैं यहाँ परिवार और लोगो के संग

 

नन्ही सी जान किलकारियां भरती हुई,

नन्हे नन्हे कदमों से चलकर आगे बढ़ती हुई ,

प्यार, अपनापन ढूंढने चली थी इस दुनिया में,

नफरत, द्वेष के बीच पाया खुद को, आहे भरती  हुई

 

भीड़ भाड़  भरी दुनिया में ,

कभी डर  के, कभी मर के, गिर पड़ के,

खुद को मुश्किल से  खड़ा किया,

इंसानो की इस भीड़ में , खुद को धुंदला किया

 

आज ज़िन्दगी ने उस अजनबी से फिर मिलवा दिया,

जिसने मुझे अपने जीवन के उद्देश्य से पुनः मिलवाया ,

कौन हो तुम, क्यों साथ चली हो मेरे? पूछने पर बताया :

अन्तः मन हूँ तुम्हारी, ज़िन्दगी का अनुभव आज मैंने तुम्हे कराया

 

मोह माया, बंधन, क्रोध, द्वेष सब त्याग,

प्यार, शान्ति , भाईचारे को गले लगा,

चल, ज़िन्दगी के उस पार की सफर तय करा दूँ ,

आज दिखा दू  तुझे मैं प्रभु की लीला अपरम्पार


 

I began my life with an unknown stranger

To discover the different colors in the journey of my life,

I lost touch with the unknown stranger who remained like a shadow with me,

I Got busy with my family and people around me.

 

I was so tiny, bubbling around,

Started my journey taking small steps with my tiny feet,

To find love,and acceptance, from the world around,

Found myself surrounded by anger hatred and jealousy, which are doing the rounds.

 

In this crowded world filled with people,

I learnt to stand on my feet ,

By sometimes being scared, sometimes falling down,

I got all hazy, with so much happening around.

 

Today, life happened to bring me, face to face with that unknown stranger,

Who reminded me of my goal in life,

Who are you and why are you always with me, I inquired?

I am your soul, and today I have bestowed on you the experience of life.

 

Let go of the worldly attatchments, illusory needs of life,

Hold on to love and peace,

Let me take you on a journey to the other world,

Let me introduce you to the love of God which is infinite.

 

This is my first attempt in writing a blog in Hindi. Please bear with me for any mistakes in writing and the translation. 🙂

  1. Keep writing in Hindi. I regret having stopped writing in mother tongue (which I did not study in any school/college) after publishing five stories 50 years ago. Writing in English for 58 years for a living killed my ability to write in mother tongue and now I cannot translate my own book. Your Hindi poems will always be better than English translations.

    1. Thank you so much for your encouraging words someswarji.
      It’s wonderful to know that you have published five stories in your mother tongue.
      Will surely try and write more in Hindi, though it’s not my mother tongue, but I love the language.
      Thank you 🙏
