અશ્રુબિંદુ / A Tear Drop

Posted in કાવ્યો by saryu on August 25th, 2009

 

Urvashi-સરયૂ-ઉર્વશી

અશ્રુબિંદુ                                                                                                                                           

એક  અશ્રુબિંદુ  મારી   પાંપણની   કોર   પર
 ગીત લઈ આવ્યુ  જુની યાદો દિલદોર પર

                    નાનેરી  બહેની મારી, ઉર્વશી   પરી   હતી
                  
આવી’તી  આભથી  પાંચ વર્ષ  રહી  હતી
          
                  માતપિતા  ભ્રાતાના   ઉરની   ઓજસ  હતી
                  બહેન સહજ બચપણની મારી  હરીફ હતી

                   ઓચિંતી   ઈશ ઘેર પાછી   એ   ફરી   હતી
                  માતતાત   નજરુંમાં  મરુતા   ઝરતી   હતી

 
ના સુણ્યું  જાયે  આ   ગીત  ઉરૂ  ગાતી’તી 
“કકડુપતિ   રાઘવ રાજારામ”  રટતી’તી  
ને વળી તોફાની  ખિલખિલાટ હસતી’તી!

શબ્દો અંહી આવ્યા આ સૂરોની પાંખ પર
જઈ જોજન ભીંજવશે  ભૈયાની આંખ પણ

ઉર્વીની   ઉષ્માથી નયણાંના  તોરણ  પર
મીઠુ    હસી  ને   રડી   કેટલીયે  યાદ પર

My sister-Urvashi

One tear drops from the corner of my eye
Oh! with this song, the memory revive

We couldn’t bear to listen the song any more
For my five-year-old sister  was no more

She used to sing, “Kakadupati raaghav raajaa raam”
Instead of, “Raghupati raaghav raajaa ram”

One day she was there, melted in our veins
Then she was gone, leaving us in pain

We have missed her a lot throughout our lives
Relived with this song special moments of those times

    Wonderful. You surpass us all in reaching the fearsome depth of feeling. I can feel it but can’t possibly dare to express even after so many years.

    Love.

    Dear Saryufoi

    What a wonderful thought about Urvashi… The line,

    Aek Ashrubindy mari papan ni kor man..

    reminds me of a drop of tear that has remained on the corner of my eye since past fourteen years as a memory and loss of my first child…there has been waves of good things since, especially in form of Nirja, but some how that little drop of his memory in form of a complaint to God remains with me…

    I felt so touched with your thoughts on Urvashi and completely understand the feelings as a mother….

    love
    purvi

    Saryuben:
    Your poem about Urvashi touched my heart, and one more tear drop dropped from my eye.
    What a wonderful thought and expression power to put memory in simple yet magnificent words!
    Congratulations for the ‘kavita’!
