दूर दूर तक
छाई है वनराई ,
घने वृक्षो की छाया से
बुला रही है वनराई ,
" ठहर जा
बंध कर आंखे
घडीभर सो जा "
सोऊ तो कैसे
मुज़े जो वादे निभाने है ?
ठहरु भी तो कैसे
बाकी
कुछ कदम भी उठाने है ?
--------------------------------------------------------
Promises To Keep
Far away
Vanarai is prevalent,
from the shade of dense trees
Vanrai is calling,
"Stay still
eyes closed
"Sleep for an hour."
how can I sleep
The promises I have to keep?
How can I stay?
Balance
Are there any steps to be taken?
=======================================
In these few lines , I have tried to capture the feelings of Robert Frost , who wrote :
" Woods are lovely
Dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep :
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep "
