Harish Yadav Poems

1.

In a land covered with blooming flowers,
I was born in the past as grass.
I heard that time also,
The sound of your flute made of brass.
...

To Dissolve in You

I wish to hold you not with arms,
but with the gravity of silence—
...

You may ask me
to know you completely.
To name you.
To hold you.
...

Let no man gild the cannon's mouth with praise,
Nor call the smoke of ruin noble breath;
For war is but the art of ending days,
A patient architect in league with death.
...

I never asked for flowers
to soften every mile,
nor for the trees to hold me
in their tender, passing smile.
...

One runs a nation,
the other runs a body—
and between them,
a friendship of necessity
...

When I Write You
Words begin to flow
the moment you enter my mind—
not like a river in haste,
...

Harish Yadav Biography

Harish Yadav Harish Yadav is a poet and writer whose work moves quietly between philosophy, memory, love, nature, and the mysteries of human existence. His poetry often seeks the invisible within the visible—turning silence into language, solitude into reflection, and ordinary moments into moments of wonder. His literary journey spans Hindi, English, and Urdu, reflecting a creative world that is both deeply Indian and universal in its emotional reach. His notable works include Yugdrishta, a collection of Hindi poems; Garden of Bliss, a collection of English poetry; and Kham-e-Misga, a collection of Urdu shayari. His book I, whose entire title is a single letter, holds a record in the India Book of Records for the smallest book title. At the heart of Yadav's writing is a recurring search for the self beyond the self—the space where love becomes silence, memory becomes music, and poetry becomes a way of discovering one's own existence. His poetry does not merely describe emotions; it attempts to create an atmosphere around them—a world of shadows, light, rain, stars, solitude and unspoken conversations. For Harish Yadav, poetry is less an act of writing than an act of listening: listening to what remains unsaid, to the silence between two people, and to the faint voice within that continues to ask— Who am I, when all words fall silent?)

The Best Poem Of Harish Yadav

Grass

In a land covered with blooming flowers,
I was born in the past as grass.
I heard that time also,
The sound of your flute made of brass.


When the eyes of the soul opened,
I became relaxed with surprise.
Because of that wave of excitement,
I could extend myself to the sky.


Merged into the fragmented garland,
My face became a lotus in dreamland.
Soil covered me in the past.
I will not free that soil
As my lotus disintegrates last.


O Lord! Give me such height
That my hands could reach heaven,
But still be able to stay on the soil,
Whenever I dream, whenever it's proven.
