My Poems

Collection of my poems which I wrote mostly in middle to high school and some during undergrad.
I could see two sides of my personality – the young which is attracted to beauty within and looking for one who can share the feelings and the second side – a rebel against society, against the limits.

Had thought of putting all my poems in the website www.kavitaye.com which I had registered way back when but couldn’t prioritize. One day, it will be done one day..:).

Here is one poem of Mahadevi Verma which I like a lot. When I read this, the world around me seem so beautiful. These words just jog memories of my early days filled with fragrance:

हँस देता जब प्रात, सुनहरे
अंचल में बिखरा रोली,
लहरों की बिछलन पर जब
मचली पड़तीं किरनें भोली !
तब कलियाँ चुपचाप उठाकर
पल्लव के घूँघट सुकुमार,
छलकी पलकों से कहती हैं
’कितना मादक है संसार’!

Translation through AI
“When dawn smiles in golden hues,
Scattering vermilion in the dewy muse,
As timid rays in ripples play,
Dancing light in a fleeting sway.
Then blossoms wake in hush profound,
Veiled in leaves so soft around,
With trembling lashes, they impart—
“Oh, how intoxicating is this world’s heart!”
