About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

calm

off the fiery gold of the laburnum
the sun's fiery rays get reflected
into my fiery frustrated heart
and calmness descends.

imtehaan

आँखों में नींद ही नहीं उतरी रात भर
physics के प्रशन पत्र जो हावी थे
सूरज के उगते ही मेज़ पर आ बैठे
किताबें हावी थीं भोर की शीतलता पर
भूले फूल चढ़ाना और धूप जलाना
इम्तेहान बच्चों के, सुकून माँ को कहाँ

talaash

dhoop kadi hai
hawa tham gayi hai
mitti mein nami nahin
noor e sabza muzmahil hai
muntazir e baaghbaan hai chaman
talaash e murshid ruuh meri hai
