ANJALI KAKATI Poems

Iss ajnabee se mann ka
Hum kya kare?
Koi sandook do,
Tala laga,
...

Aaj mann behad udas hai,
Kah do meeghoo se,
Ke itna shor na kare
Mehfil me dil
...

Na jaane kab tak
Hootho ki hansi se
Palko ki naami ko
Cheepayee phirenge?
...

kash....
Kabhi aap samajh paate
Mere shabdo ki nahi
Mere hriday ki bhasha.
...

Pee ke ladkhadana
aur ladkhada ke sambhal jana to saaki
Purani aadat thi,
Youn bin piye ladkhadana
...

Kyon ja rahe ho
Itne dur humse?

Na jaaoo itne dur,
...

Na jaane umar bhar kya dhundh rahe the?
Na jaane tum me kya mil gaya,
Koi naam, koi pata hota toh
Shayad,
...

Hold me close
So close.
My bosom
Heaves breathlessly
...

Tossing away restlessly
Another night,
Sleepless with desire.
I wonder,
...

Love you,
For loving me.
'me'
Imperfection personified! !
...
