Basanta Lohani Poems

त्यो सानो सुन्दर बस्ती
जहा सूर्यको किरण फैलिन सकेन
घाम छेकेर बस्नेहरुको डफ्फा
लुगलुग कामेकाहरुलाई देखाएर
...

Man is unique
As the universe is.

This planet Earth
...

सुनौलो बिहान देखे
म भित्रको मलाई देखे
मेरी सहयात्री
यो लामो यात्रामा
...

मेरा पछिका बिपनाहरु
रातका सपना हुन् कि
क्षितिजका मधुर संगम
लहलहाउदा कल्पनाहरु
...

Nature seeks balance
In the golden mean
The fittest survive
And the weakest die
...

When multitudes bowed down
To the whims of the mighty
You stood erect
Calm and clear
...

You and I could look ugly
Because of impulses
That freely visit our mind.
...

Time is flying. Work is undone.
Everything but desire is limited.
I've deceived myself, no one else—
It's beyond my comprehension.
...

A private property?
Yes, a private property.
I have always existed
As a commodity
...

आगो लागेको त्यो बस्तीमा
कोलाहल बोकेको त्यो सन्नाटा
लाटो मान्छेको अव्यक्त अभिव्यक्ति बनेर
सागरको छाल जस्तो
...
