Teri Bheegi Palken (Your Wet Eye-Lids) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Teri Bheegi Palken

Teri bheegi palken,
Bheegi-bheegi,
Palken,
Bheegi-bheegi,
Teri bheegi-palken.

Tujhe jaanaa nahi,
Pahchaanaa nahin,
Bas tujhe dekh
Kitna lachar aur bivas,
Anamika,
Teri bheegi palken,
Bheegi-bheegi.

Tujhe jaanaa nahin,
Pahchaanaa nahin,
Bas dard,
Dard ban
Yaddasht le chalaa mein,
Anamika.

Kon ho tum,
Kahan she,
Jana hain jo kahan,
Kucch puccha tak nahin,
Bas aanshuyon ko le
Chala jo mein,
Kya jo naam hain tumhara,
Ghar kahan?

Anamika, bina batayen,
Bina pucchen,
Kahun to kya,
Kon ho tum,
Kya hain tera-mera rishta,
Tum kon ho,
Kya hain naam tumhara?


Your Wet Eye-lids

Your wet eye-lids,
Wet-wet,
Eye-lids,
Wet-wet,
Eye-lids,
Wet-wet,
Your wet-wet eye-lids.

Knew you not,
Recognized you not,
Just after seeing you
How much helpless and tensed,
Anamika, Unnamed Lass,
Your wet eye-lids,
Wet-wet!

Knew I not,
Recognized I not,
Just pain,
Taking pain
Am I moving with the remembrance,
Anamika.

Who are you,
Wherefrom you,
What do I know about,
Have I asked about rather
That taking the tears
Am I going,
What is your name,
Where do you come from?

Anamika, without saying it,
Knowing it,
What to say,
Who are you,
What your-mine relationship,
Who are you,
What your name?
