Sonnets

I want to wish fly in my blue sky

But the rays of the sky stop me on the way

I want to wish sing a sweet tune in the fresh air

The dirty air from factories prevents us from flying

I want to wish my vasundhara to live on a tree

But who made us homeless by cutting trees

I want to wish to get wet by drinking spring water

But who has polluted the water by adding poison to it?

I want to wish that whenever I am born, I should be born in this Vasundhara.

But who took away the right to live from this stream

I want to wish that Hari turns man into a bird.

But I know you’re his god so he looks like him

I want to wish your idol also looked like a bird

But I don’t want God to make your Vasundhara a hell

I want to wish Give me death before you get any flame

I don’t want anyone to pollute my land, give me such boon

When I become a cloud,
And cover the sky,
You become a whirlwind,
take me far away in the fields.

When I become a blossom,
In your beautiful garden,
You become a whirlpool,
Sing me a sweet tune.

When I become a crop,
In your field,
Then you downpour,
Like drops on me.

When I become of the forest,
You become spring,
with its sweet greenery,
you make my life colorful.

When I become your path,
You become the destination,
To a stray passerby,
Lead new the way.

We both stayed together
And today we take this oath,
If we ever part,
we will become Crane birds.
