Raastei Jo Anek, Jaana Hai Bahut Dur/ Pathways Are So Long, Have To Go Very Far Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Raastei Jo Anek, Jaana Hai Bahut Dur/ Pathways Are So Long, Have To Go Very Far

Raastei jo anek,
Jaana hai bahut dur.

Jivan-path,
Kya yahi jivan-patha hai?

Kya mai yahan ka nahi,
Kahana mera ghar, kaun mera gantavya sthana?

Shirshak mai kya dun,
Jivan-path yaa darshan?

Raastei jo anek,
Jaana hai bahut dur.

Kahan kaa yaatri kahan,
Mai eka yaatri sochataa huya?

Pathon ke bicha mei
Main kalanta sochata huya, jaana hain kahan?

-----------------------
Pathways are so long,
Have to go very far.

Life-path,
Is this the life-path?

Pathways are so long,
Have to go very far.

Am I not of here,
Where my house, hwere my destination?

How should I title it,
Life-path or Philosophy?

Pathways are so long,
Have to go very far.

Where's traveller where am
I keep thinking?

Into the crossroads,
I sitting fatigued and thinking, where to go?

N.B. There is something of thinking and re-thinking in it. First, the lines tumbled down to then the title was re-thought and again it got lengthened to while re-woriking on the title as the repair work to be carried out and it came by the way, Life-philosophy and Philosophy as the parts of the poem and claiming for the title too and now think I of replacing the poetic lines with, but could not as for having opted and titled it so and let it be so.
