CHILDREN'S ART COMPETITION, "Unity in Diversity" - 2008 at LEARNA HEARTLAND EDUCATION CENTRE

STILLNESS MOVES (Reading at Living Arts Centre - Mississauga during literary festival - 13th September 2009)

Distances fade,

a feeling

as if I touched

the limitless remains.

Quivering fingers

grasp the floating clouds,

they merge in me

as I in you.

The hues of blue

disappear in each other,

when the sky re-emerges,

beneath to above

getting wet by the fresh rain.

My feet soaked

embedded in sand

leave impressions

strong enough

wiping off the tidal waves

that strike

the climax within.

Sand slips away

under my feet.

A Stillness moves inside me.

Duality will remain

I know,

separating me from you,

yet a dream is instilled,

I pulsate

yearn--

to be fecundated

by the distant you.

कुछ निशान वक्त के
झील से झांकते आसमान की गहराई में
बादलों को चूमती पहाड़ों की परछाईयां
और घने पेड़ों के बीच फड़फड़ाते अतीत के चेहरे
झरनो के झरझराते मुख से झरते मधुर गीत संगीत
हवाओं पर बिखरी गेंदे के फूलों की सुनहरी खुशबू
दूर कहीं सजदों में झुकी घंटियों की गूंज
बांसुरी की धुन में लिपट कर चोटियों से धीमे—धीमे उतरती मीठी धूप।
पानी में डुबकियां लगाती कुछ मचलती किरणे
और उन पर छ्पक—छपक चप्पूओं से सांसे लेती ज़िन्दगी की चलती नौका
रात की झिलमिलाहटों में तैरती चुप्पियों की लहरें
किनारों से टकराकर लौटती जुगनुओं की वो चमक। उम्मीदों
की ठण्डी सड़क पर हवाओं से बातें करती
किसी राह्गीर के सपनों की तेज़ दौड़ती टापें
पगडंडियों को समेटे कदमो में अपने
पहूंची हैं वहां तक—जहां मंज़िलों के मुकाम
अक्सों में थम गये हैं
झील की गहराई में उतरकर
नींद को थपथपाते हुए
उठती सुबह की अंगड़ाई में रम गये हैं।
- मीना चोपडा
*यह कविता मेरे बचपन और जन्मस्थल नैनीताल से प्रेरित है।
