Farewell To A Pen
After having put in a long stint of service
(flawless one in the realm of my paperdom)
My friendly pen became breathless
I knew its time had come so it deserved-
A handsome farewell by its user- a grateful me
Who was more than satisfied by its diligence
I kissed the pen and consigned it
To the river of time which has thus far
Consumed countless pens of nameless authors
Without remorse from those who swim against tide
गुरुजी सादर प्रणाम, वास्तव मे हम अपनी जिन्दगी मे सब कुछ याद रखते है पर शायद उसी को भूल जाते हैं जो जिन्दगी भर का हम सफर है बचपन से लेकर रिटायमेंट तक हमारा सच्चा साथी पर कभी- कभी हम उसको भूल जाते है आपका बहुत- बहुत आभार की अपने इतनी खूबसूरत रचना और अपनी दिल की भावना के द्वारा हम सब को एक अहसास " कलम" के प्रति जताया

I pray it's just the pen. A writer can never quit writing. A well deserved tribute to the pen which has written numerous master pieces. Now pick up the new pen and continue the journey of emotions.. My humble request.
Those who have come here must have to go someday. A great farewell to the pen. Loved the way you have penned down your feelings of love for the pen. Beautiful share.
'I kissed the pen and consigned it To the river of time which has thus far Consumed countless pens and nameless authors' This is indeed a 'touching' farewell to the pen you have been using for more than two months. It has been painstakingly registering all your thoughts on the paper. It deserves such a fitting tribute. Love the above concluding lines.
Universal truth has been well exposed through a pen which is to be farwelled on time. Wonderful imagery and imaginary. Brilliant poem. Five stars.
Farewell to a pen is an emotional good bye poem to a beautiful pen by its master. In life, some objects assume so much of importance in your daily life that it is difficult to let go off it so easily. So, is the life of a man which flows in the river of time. A great reminder, that ultimately, all of us too, have to bid our farewell to this world.....A profound truth exposed......Thank you Rajnish ji.........Many, many stars!
Apart from brilliant mind the only armour of a poet is pen. I suppose a farewell note to one pen with a welcome note to another is trademark of a poet but with some pen emotions do get attached. This farewell note is noteworthy but pen is used as metaphor. Once which comes had to go and it is a bitter truth one has to gulp. Marvelous poem Rajnishji.5 Stars as per new ratings though it deserves more.
