Sunil Uniyal Poems

wind water earth sky - all things remain the same
for our Lord in heaven above we are but a game

He tests us at every step if we fail
...

A win, a clap, a cheer, a pat -
We ne'er had that, we ne'er had that.

We went to woods for butterflies,
...

That evening jogging on the beach with my friends
miles and miles away from home i was alone

the sea was rolling and unrolling its carpet of blue and grey
...

I don't know why, it's strange but true-
I feel lost in front of you

Virtues in me are too many,
...

Hindi Original~

Goree soye sej pe, mukh pe daare kes
Chal Khusro ghar aapne, rain bhayi chaudes
...

O Mother Divine
Bless me with your mercy please

Running wayward in my life
...

I've left my father's home
I am now in an alien land

Married off beyond four mountains
...

It's Holi, it's Holi, dear friends.

All envy let's shun
All hatred let's burn
...

two birds sit on a pipal bough

one flies off to pick dry twigs to build a nest
the other bird watches quietly this process
...

from Pylon Point
on Harbour Bridge -
a ship crawls in
...
...

Original ~

pyaas to hai par jaam nahin hai
taruvar hai par chhaaon nahin hai
...

Hail to Thee, O Kamakhya Devi, hail to Thee! !

To Thy abode at Nilanchal
Thy sons and daughters come to Thee,
...

Traveller O, why your feet have halted there?
Your terminus is still nowhere near.

Hear the brook that goes on singing in the woods,
...

Is andheri kothri men utar aayi roshni
Phir kisi ne aaj kholaa band roshandaan
Ek boodhe naujavaan ne kyaa bhari hunkaar
...

They all gather round the man in his seventies
Who is on a fast-unto-death against the muck:

I hear the flutter of a change in the spring wind!
...

Bhaya more meto Hanumaanaa.
Haun baalak main to ati nirbal, mohe nirbhaya balee banaanaa.
Ashta-siddhi nau nidhi ke daataa, ko hai jag men tor samaanaa.
Prabhu kaaraj hita laanghyo saagar, Lankpuree ko kiyo masaanaa.
...

(Mere man ye bataa de tu, from the Hindi Film 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna') ~

O my heart just tell me
whither you go
...

Original-Hindi Brajabhasha (by Surdas) ~

jo sukh hot Gopaalahin gaaye
so nahin hot kiye jap tap ke kotik teerath nhaaye
...

The Best Poem Of Sunil Uniyal

A Ghazal - He And We

wind water earth sky - all things remain the same
for our Lord in heaven above we are but a game

He tests us at every step if we fail
not He but we're ourselves to blame

all day the devotees throng His shrine
chanting His name spreading His fame

desires they've sown for ages in their hearts
if they don't sprout won't it be His shame?

deaf He may be to my pleas, uni,
don't think on His love i'll forego my claim.
