Rajendra Prasad Meena Jaipur India

A thought is born
quietly,
in the soft chamber of the mind
It does not stay there long.
...

O Winter, pale monarch of the silent night,
Thou com'st with frosty breath and iron air;
The moon stands trembling in thy silver light,
While shivering earth lies naked and bare.
...

Silence did not arrive gently—
it stayed,
when words refused to carry
the heaviness inside me.
...

Do not go where words are mean,
Where teasing hurts and jokes are rude;
Such places slowly teach the heart
To lose its warmth and forget what's good.
...

O Mother Saraswati, pure and bright,
Fill our minds with gentle light.
Teach us how to think and see,
What is false and what should be.
...

Every evening begins with the same soft plea,
'Papa, when will you come home to me? '
Small eyes fixed on the doorway,
hope and hunger waiting the same way.
...

Time flows on, both swift and deep,
It holds the dreams we wish to keep.
It never stops, it runs so wide,
Those who work, it lifts with pride.
...

When the metropolis succumbs to somnolence,
recollections attain sentience.
Those I evaded beneath diurnal pretexts
reconvene within the dominion of obscurity.
...

Some words
pause at the edge of the mouth
and choose silence instead,
settling quietly
...

My nights were long, where sleep would rarely stay,
Memories woke and quietly had their say.

Your name became the pillow of my head,
...

Some people wear pride like a crown,
They turn truth upside down.

They call the wrong the only right,
...

Talent is born where narrow streets confine,
Where hunger schools the mind before its art;
Bright thoughts mature beneath a borrowed time,
And early need instructs the willing heart.
...

This line pauses
before it begins.
Not from fear,
but from care.
...

I left for school with purpose in my stride,
Morning stitched with duty, calm, and light.
Then iron spoke—one sudden sound denied
The easy rhythm of a moving ride.
...

The moon is like a silver ball,
(Simile) shining over all.

My teacher is a guiding light,
...

O gentle Sleep, so calm, so deep,
You come when weary hearts must weep.
When books fall still from tired hands,
And drifting thoughts obey no commands
...

In silent rooms with tired eyes,
They work through dark and restless skies.
Pens move fast, hearts stay true,
Preparing lists for me and you.
...

God is a name that human tongues design,
By faith declared, by proof no clear sign.
No test confirms Him, no strict law defines,
No scale can weigh the hope that thought confines.
...

Love is not the hunger of the skin,
Nor the fever that asks to be owned.
Love is a quiet light within,
A flame that learns to stand alone.
...

Hurry up now, hands keep moving, thresher running loud and empty,
Rest can wait and shade comes later, water follows work completed.
Grain lies hidden in the harvest, separate the seed from chaff now,
Feed the machine fast and steady, keep the turning cycle flowing.
...
