THE FORT Nand Chaturvedi. That fort was razed In spite of a glorious past Those brave women jumped into the fire For their wretched, impotent husbands To love who knew not
Beautiful ’n unrivaled were they Being dead Free were they now The husbands To sing love’s eulogy
Nobody was there To visualize life Which they gave
They came on foot Or in palanquins Alone Or in a group Silent, sad or sobbing Embracing their husbands Or cursing them Lead by an old Or an adolescent maybe
A Little light quivered A man stood on the spire The kids either slept Or kept shrieking
For Shanti-paath The Brahmins must have come ‘N must have said: Here again they will come For the remaining Life to live
History only talks of death It is life that must search What happened hereafter |
LUMINOUS PEAKS Nand Chaturvedi. Spring is my companion Friend Dust filled streets The city and Vasantsena Mere stories Which become bygones Like a dust storm in the infinite
Spring is a laughing river Simmering The colour of leaves Of so many pigments made For the languid earth
Let grief return, if it would On a luminous peak I would stand like Palash Viewing all around The fading sunlight’n shade
Translated by Ashutosh Mohan from theoriginal Hindi poems of the renowned poet Nand Chaturvedi. Ashutosh Mohan
