To you a mountain chases out her soils
through the lost solidity of winter clothes
I see, ribbon-tumbled, these streams and wider rivers
across these lands, where my feet float over the green.

The rushers still in awe, on their approach to you,
their mouths, their last youth union with the earth
tide-embraced, those fresh children,
ushering the expanse of anonymity wandering
an intake of salted sand, and peace
at this, their mature quest.

Perhaps I am among them
as I walk the water's mark.

I am the mermaid, the siren, soon
happily I would go into these waves
and creature myself within your sheltering

those tributoried churns, and drift
of martyred shells, they hasten me,
I am exposed to need, and recognition
of the horizoned line beyond.

Surely I will swim, though land-bound yet,
from the water's mouth,
and see my land from another's view.

DIN ME DEKHO SURAJ NIKLA RAAT ME CHAMKE TAARE,
YE TO HAIN SAUNDARYA GAGAN KE LAGTE KITNE PYARE,
KABHI TIMAKTE TAARE DIKHTE KABHI CHANDNI RAAT,
AISA LAGTA HAI JAISE HO JANAM-JANAM KA SAATH,
SURAJ TO PRAKASH DEKAR KARTA NAUYUG KA UJIYARA,
SHAAM KO DHALTA SURAJ DEKHO LAGTA KITNA PYARA,
DHARTI PAR HARIYALI AAYE JAB BADAL GARAJ KE BARSE,
SOCH-SOCH MAN TADAP UTHEY BADAL HONE KO TARSE,
KAHI SUNAHRI DHUP KHILI HAI KAHI BARASTE BADAL,
KAHI HAWA BARFILI HAI KAHI SUKHA DHARTI KA AANCHAL,
RAHTE HAIN SAB EK GAGAN ME ALAG-ALAG YE SAREY,
MANBHAWAN, MANMOHAK YE SURAJ, CHAND, SITAREY,
YE TO HAIN SAUNDARYA GAGAN KE LAGTE KITNE PYAREY.

AAMO KI DAAL PER

MAHUWA KI DAAL PER
TO SHEESHAM KI DAAL PER,
HA! KATAHAL KI DAAL PER
TO KABHI BANSHO KI JHAAD PER
KUHAKANE LAGI HAI KOYAL
TARU-TARU DAAL PER.

We all are the elements of nature
Which creates and destroys a creature
It is anoher form of "the almighty"
Which can surely effect our global society

If we want to survive for our longevity
We surely need to have some pity
Pity; not on the nature but on the humanity
So that our future brings us serenity

So why not take a pledge to beautify nature
With all our combined efforts
So that when we look forward to future
We see a world filled with the essence of nature

ARE ! AMBER BHI HAI KAYA DEKHO,
DIKHLATA JO CHHAVI AISI,
KABHI MARUSTHAL SA DIKHTA HAI
KABHI SAMUNDER KI SI CHHAVI,
HA ! KABHI KHADA TILA SAA DIKHTA
TO KABHI DIKHTA DHOOL SAA UDTA
MANO ABHI–2 GAYA HO,
PATH SE PASHUON KA JHUND UMADTA,
HA ! ANGIT CHHAVI AMBER KI DEKHO,
ANUKSHAN HAI JO RANG BADALTA
ANUKSHAN HAI JO RANG BADALTA.
