Todtee Patthar - Suryakant Tripathy 'Nirala'. काव्यालय| Kaavyaalaya: House of Hindi Poetry

vah toD़tee patthar;
dekhaa use mainne ilaahaabaad ke path par—
vah toD़tee patthar.

koee n chhaayaadaar
peD़ vah jisake tale baiThee huee sveekaar;
shyaam tan, bhar ba(n)dhaa yauvan,
nat nayan priy, karm-rat man,
guru hathauD़aa haath,
karatee baar-baar prahaar :—
saamane taru-maalikaa aTTaalikaa, praakaar.

chaDh़ rahee thee dhoop;
garmiyon ke din
divaa kaa tamatamaataa roop;
uThee jhulasaatee huee loo,
ruee jyon jalatee huee bhoo,
gard chinageen chhaa gaeen,
praay: huee dupahar :—
vah toD़tee patthar.

dekhate dekhaa mujhe to ek baar
us bhavan kee or dekhaa, chhinnataar;
dekhakar koee naheen,
dekhaa mujhe us dRShTi se
jo maar khaa roee naheen,
sajaa sahaj sitaar,
sunee mainne vah naheen jo thee sunee jhankaar
ek kShaN ke baad vah kaa(n)pee sughar,
Dhulak maathe se gire seekar,
leen hote karm men phir jyon kahaa—
‘main toD़tee patthar.’

'Gale Milte Rang'
Vinod Das

aahlaad men Doobe rang khilakhilaa rahe hain

itane rang hain
ki phool bhee churaa rahe hain rang
aaj titaliyon ke lie

gale mil rahe hain rang

jab milataa hai gale ek rang
doosare rang se
badal jaataa hai usakaa rang
kuchh pahale se
jaise kuchh badal jaataa hai aadamee
doosare aadamee se milane ke baad

kitane rang hain jeevan ke
kyaa ph़rk़ kar sakate ho tum
gulaal aur rudhir kee laalimaa men

nikal aae hain ghonsale se baahar log
aasamaan hotaa jaa rahaa hai laal

ek naaTaa laD़kaa achaanak
phenkataa hai uchak kar rang kaa gubbaaraa
bheeg jaatee hai iraph़aan chachaa kee daaDh़ee
iraph़aan chachaa khil ..

ham nadee ke dveep hain.

sab golaaiyaa(n) usakee gaDh़ee hain.

maa(n) hai vah! hai, isee se ham bane hain.
kintu ham hain dveep. ham dhaaraa naheen hain.
