puraani awaazoN k tukDay
baar baar jo sunaaee datay hain
Shakespeare ki phrases, Mozart ki dhunaiN
kaali ratoN main kucH chamak jo un se aa girti hai
raat k parwaasi jo bicHuD gayay hain apnoN se
lafz jo door ho gayay hain lafzoN se
door ho gayay hain sangeet-o-saaz se.

Remembering (1997)
W.S. Merwin
There are threads of old sound heard over and over
phrases of Shakespeare or Mozart the slender
wands of the auroras playing out from them
into dark time the passing of a few
migrants high in the night far from the ancient flocks
far from the rest of the words far from the instruments
