While Sleeping On The Bus Poem by Renu Kakkar

While sleeping,
all in the clouds.
In good ambience,
we have reached.

I got tired of this journey,
I was to go back.
I reached elsewhere sleeping away,
Now I need to again travel back.

I thought I was lost,
or I was dreaming.
Conductor asked, 'You want to get off? '
'Bro where are we? ' I was enquiring.

I asked someone what place it was?
my destination I missed perhaps.
'Give me money, ' the Conductor said,
you have reached the bus terminal.

Driver said stay seated,
this bus is to return.
Your destination ticket you buy,
but you are not allowed to sleep! 😄

I thought that in the mountains,
we passed the night laughing-playing.
The singing and the dancing,
made the trip memorable. 😄

May the coming night be same,
may all friends meet again.
Singing and talking
some journeys are so good.

Sonde Sonde
*********
Sote sonde sonde,
sab bandla vich,
sohna eh maahaul,
aa gaye assi

Assi thak gaye is safar ton,
Jana si sanu wapas,
Par sonde-sonde pahunch gaye hor kise,
Chalo kariye safar hun wapas 😄

Sochiya shayad raah bhatak gaye,
Ja phir koi supna dekheya si,
Conductor boleya, 'utarna tusi? '
Assi bole, 'assi kitthe aa gaye, veer ji? ' 😄

Kise ton puchheya kehdi jagah hai?
Manzil shayad pichhe reh gayi hai,
Conductor ne keha kaddo paise,
Bus terminal tak tusi aaye sonde-sonde 😄

Driver boleya, baithe raho,
Ehi bus ne wapsi jana hai,
Le lo ticket wapsi da,
Par sona tuhanu mana hai! 😄

Sochiya shayad pahadan vich,
Hasde-khedde gaye saare raat,
Sada nachna, sada gauna,
Khairra safar vi manoranjak si 😄

Aaun wali raat hove behad,
Saare saathi vi jude hon,
Gaonde sagu-baatan vich,
Kyuki safar hamesha chazen hi hunda! 😄
