Indian mind consider this world as maya or a sort of "illusion".Once you realize this and consider yourself as an illusions,existential dilemma sets in and one feels utterely trapped and helpless. This feeling pof being trapped is beautifully depicted here by Dharamveer Bharti ji. Mirrors here denote illusions.
"Could someone cut this knot of pain
Call out from across the mirrored lane
Unbearable is this absurd ending walk
Reaching the same post again and again
Will an exit never be at hand ?
Am I destined to only meet this end ?
Lost in these maze of mirrors
Crucified hanging from the frames"

ReplyDeleteIt took me sometime to come out the world of those mirrors and reflections. Loved the way in which you have expressed the complex maze of life. Looked like you had spend quite a good amount of time to introspect and then penned down her thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAwesome lines :
Toot sakta ,toot sakta kash
ye ajab sa darpano ka paash
Now i am too deep into this poem . reading it third time trying to understand what was the state of mind of the poet when she wrote these words ...Deep pain, no gain, black rain and without any name .......
Dil se nikle mere baas ye aawaz
ki kash mein bhi kabhi udh sako nille aakash
It reminded me of an old poem... I don't know the correct rhymes of it but whatever is there in the debris of mind , i will put it here :
Duniya jisse kehte hai , jaddu ka khilona hai
Mill jaye tho mitti hai , kho jaye tho sona hai ye
Acha sa koyi mausam , tanha sa koyi aalam
haar waqt ka rona tho , bekar ka rona hai
Hey...Why is there so much pain in each of those lines...
ReplyDeleteAnd I sometimes wonder how can people express pain and longing so beautifully...
That apart- Really beautiful poems...Would love to read your whole notebook....
And also Amrit means Elixir
