"My art is my search for the moments beyond the ones of self knowledge. It is the rhythmic fantasy; a restless streak which looks for its own fulfillment! A stillness that moves within! An intense search for my origin and ultimate identity". - Meena

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.

बारिश के खिलोने, Vanishing Point

दौड़ती नज़रें जब
गुज़रे समय की सड़क पर
देखतीं हैं वापस मुड़कर
तो दिखाई देते हैं
दूर छोर पर खड़े
कुछ बारिश के खिलोने
और धूप की नर्मी में भीगे पुराने रिश्ते

और कुछ --
वक्त की धुन्ध में मिटते
पाओं के निशान।

-मीना चोपड़ा


Blank eyes see
the vanishing point
on the skyline of the past
I capture the falling toys of rainfall
A soothing touch of the by gone sunshine
wet with the kisses of a rainbow.
Footsteps fade in the misty madness of time.

Aur Ek Antim Rachana! - A Stilled Sonata - और एक अंतिम रचना!

वह सभी क्षण
जो मुझमें बसते थे
उड़कर आकाश गंगा
में बह गए।
और तब आदि ने
अनादि की गोद से उठकर
इन बहते पलों को
अपनी अंजली में भरकर
मेरी कोख में उतार दिया।
मैं एक छोर रहित गहरे कुएँ में
इन संवेदनाओं की गूँज सुनती रही।
एक बुझती हुई याद की
अंतहीन दौड़!
एक उम्मीद!
एक संपूर्ण स्पर्श!
और एक अंतिम रचना
-मीना चोपडा


Wah sabhi Kshna
jo mujh mein
baste the ud kar
aakash ganga mein bah gaye.
aur tab
aadi ne anaadi ki god se uthkar
in bahte huae palon ko
apni anjali mein bharakar
meri god mein utaar diya.
mein ek chhor rahit kuen mein
in sanvednaaon ki goonj sunti rahi.
ek bujhati hui yaad ki antahin dod!
ek ummid!
ek sampoorN sparsh!
Aur ek antim rachna.

-Meena Chopra

I soared the heights
in the Milky Way
sailing a vast panoramic emptiness.
The finite dispensed
the infinite.
Time trickled down in
the circled core.
a schismatic,
dry and dark Bottom less pit
listened to the echoes,
The looped moments,
my sensibilities,
in the chasm of life,
Eternally at run,
dying reminiscences
Aspired,
a touch
a final composition
tuned in a stilled sonata.
-Meena Chopra
