MY POEM ' WHERE IS MY NEST ? '

                                                                          

                                                               

THE SPARROW IS TIRED . IT SEEKS A SHELTER NOW ...

I am adding My Poem " Mera Need Kahaan Hai ? " or "Where is my Nest ?" to this photo . This poem is dedicated to people living in Exile world over and  People driven out from their Homes and native lands. My fellow beings in pain and suffering   , I  share your anguish and helplessness  .

( Mera Need  Kahaan hai ?)

Ghar Aakaash Nahin hotaa hai ,

kab Tak Udnaa ?

Kitnaa Thaknaa ?

Chidiyaa Doonday Daal, Basera ,

Jis ko Thaa Cheelon Ne Geraa

Need  luttay Jab,

Anday Phootay ,

Apnay Chhootay ,

Bandhan Tootay ,

Parbat Uppar Bhaagi Fur Fur ,

Bechaari chidiyaa tab dar kar .

Su'naa Hai Par Us Gaaon Mein Ab bhi,

Sookha Peid hai,

Sookhi Jheel ,

Joon Deepak ke bin Kandeel ,

Aur Uss peid ki Tahni par to

Ab Baithaa Karti Hai cheel ….

( Autar Mota )

I have also rendered the poem to simple english for friends who do not understand Hindi / urdu ..

( Where is My Nest ?)

The sky can never be a home ,

How long should it Fly?

How much should it tire itself?

The sparrow now looks for a branch ,

A shelter .

A shelter that was usurped by the Eagles ,

And when the nests were ransacked,

Eggs Broken ,

fellow birds separated ,

Relationships torn apart ,

That day ,

In fright ,

The poor sparrow

flew up above the Mountain.

We hear in that village ,

That tree is still dry and lifeless .

Dry has turned the lake too.

Yes , Like a Candle stand going waste

Without the candle over it .

And on top of that tree

An Eagle has built its shelter now .

( Autar Mota )
