मैं ढूंढने आई थी खुद को ,
पर !
भूल बैठी अस्तित्व अपना ।
मैं …….
मैं प्राप्त करने आई थी आत्मज्ञान,
पर !
चाह बैठी हूं धन,लोभ, यश और ये संसार।
मैं ! मेरा मन, घिरा है तिमिर के अंधकार में ,
पर ,
देखना चाहती हूं मैं,अपने अंदर छुपे उस ,
प्रकाशमय तेज को ।
जिसके बारे में सुना है मैंने ।
मैं !
ढूंढना चाहती हूं अपनी शाम,
पर !
क्यों खो रही हूं मैं , प्रातः में ही ?
लगता है इन स्मृतियों के भवसागर में मैं फसती चली जा रही हूं !
हे ईश्वर,
गुजार दिए इसी खोज में, कई दिन…
कई महीने, कई साल ।
फिर भी !
कट तो रही है जिंदगी !
मगर ,
एक जिज्ञासा है मन में की ,
जानना है कुछ तो !
जानना है खुद को ,
और मिटा देना है , मै का अहंकार ।
Hello ma’am.
I recently came across your poems through Anand Dwivedi sir’s channel and wanted to say they felt very honest and close to real life. I am from a rural village background and mostly busy with JEE preparation and science studies, so poetry is new for me. But while reading your poems, I felt calm and connected.
As someone who has mostly seen women only doing household work around me, your writing made me notice emotions and small details in a different way. It felt simple but deep.
I am also interested in starting poetry writing, even though I come from a science background and have no sahitya or literature knowledge. If possible, could you suggest some beginner-friendly poetry books or writers? And any small advice for someone who wants to start writing honestly.
Thank you for continuing to write. Please keep going.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Just keep writing whatever you feel, your writing skills will eventually get better.
