Gajanan Mishra River Poems

What do you mean by river?
Is it only mere water?
Is it flood water or dry river?

River, I know, my life my notion
...

O my Holy deity
O my Ganga Mata
You rise from the Himalayas
The Gangotri Glacier
...

କେନ ହସିଥି କାଣା ଅଛେ
କିଏ ପାରବା କହି,
...

Myself, the river
Myself, the mountain
Myself, the ocean
Myself, the sky
...

Look, the river is
Full of its brim
And you got a push.
...

I want to live
Like a river,
And also I want to
Live like a mountain.
...

By the river side
see i am alone.

Here it is the sun
...

River without water
And water and water
Where is water
Sea without water
...

You are
The river as ever.
I am the bubble
That exist never.
...

I am in the river of blood,
I am in river-blood,
Blood of river, my dear.
...

Dry river,
Coming to me
Uncalled for.
I know though
...

Here is the river,
ends up in the ocean,
But the river never
expresses its happiness.
...

The river is crossing its bank,
The sky is coming forward,
And my poem is dazzling as you see
with the new leaves and wind of the spring.
...

The river is crossing its bank,
The sky is coming forward,
And my poem is dazzling as you see
with the new leaves and wind of the spring.
...

O river
You are my lifeline
You are lifelines of my civilization
O river
...

But no water
Tree is here
No leaf fruit
Flower is here
...

ଜନ୍ମ ଆଉ ଦେହ,
ଦେହ ଆଉ ଦାହ,
ଦାହ ଆଉ ପ୍ରେମ,
ପ୍ରେମ ଆଉ ଘୃଣା,
...

No river is flowing,
No man is living,
No sky is there
Where I am staying.

ଶିରାପ୍ରଶିରାରେ ମୋର
ଧାଉଁଛି ସମୟ,
...

Lifeline-river, right.
Soul is there in language,
Language of the land,
Where we are all working
...

I am singing songs
In stoney hard path.
River is going towards
Its origin water-ocean and likewise
...

ସତରେ କଣ ଜାଣେ ନଦୀ?
ଗଜାନନ ମିଶ୍ର

...

Burning river
Is ever bright.
Angry man I am
With the air
...

Let me flow
Like the river
At night also
With my words
...

କୁନ୍ତୀ - ଗୋଟେ ନଦୀ?
ଗଜାନନ ମିଶ୍ର

ସତରେ କୁନ୍ତୀ କଣ
...

ଯାଉଛି ମୁଁ ବି ଗାଧୋଇ ନଈରେ,
ସେ କୁଆଡେ ଯାଏ, ଯିଏ ଗାଧାଏ?
କେତେ ପାଣି ନଈରେ, କିଏ କଳେ?
କେତେ ଆଲୁଅ କେତେ ରଙ୍ଗ କିଏ କହେ?
...

Rivers and birds
All are here with me.
I flow like the mountains,
I give rains.
...

Why are you dry, my dear?
Be human at least
For the sake of love.
I am awaiting here
...

I am the river,
I am going on
In a circle
To meet my end-
...

Rock and river
Both are flowing
To the ocean
...

From the river
I learnt how to go.
From the sky
I learnt how to stay.
...

Rocks in river,
River in rocks,
In between the rocks
River flows.
...

In running river
I saw you
And your dream
During incessant rain.
...

I am here on my land,
See me, my land is
On the bank of a river,
River of rose-apple juice.
...

Let me tell you,
The story of the river,
And the truth.
...

The great river - The Mahanadi,
Our identity - The Mahanadi,
Source of livelihood - The Mahanadi,
But the Mahanadi is dry,
...

River of language -
Mother.
Let us respect her
By using the language
...

Where is River?
Who is there to save the river?
The river is life's natural filter.
And what is life?
...

I am a flowing river,
I am perfect and pious.
The places through which
I am flowing are
...

Where is the river?
And what do you mean by the river?
No flow of water in the river,
And still, we are charmed by the river.
...

Flowing with the river of joy
I met you here in the beginning
In the middle and also in the end
Of my life O my dear
...

Water in the river,
The river in water.

Mystic and fog,
...

River Mahanadi and
Black bellied tern;

One downward
...

Let me take rest
The river said
And the sea replied
Okay, okay
...

Here is the river
And I am searching it
In the map that is
On the wall of my house
...

Here it was,
The river.
But where it is now
I know not.
...

River without water,
Still I care not
And I wait for the sun
To come and give me
...

Let the river say something
In the words of the air and the sky.
Let the sky see some sight
In the eyes of the full moon.
...
