Hush, Hudhud


meek silence 
under the earth

due to and during
nature's fury
in full display

through wind velocity
and oceanic storms
above

proof, as if required
that all the ingenuity of man
is ultimately vanquishable

against nature
man and his adventurism
are ultimately absolutely
reducible to
unrecognizable smithereens

...Tare na jane
unchayi gagan ki
Aankhe na samajhe, gehrayi man ki
Gehrayi man ki
Tare na jane
Pyase papihe ne aas thi bandhi
Pyase papihe ne aas thi bandhi
Udd gaye badal aa gayi aandhi
Gam ne jo cheda, dil ne hasi se
Hoth si liye
Kaise koi jiye, zahar hai zindagi
Utha tufan wo, utha tufan...

Dear sir

Wholeheartedly agree with you on your thoughtful poem..

Man is extremely vulnerable and nature's fury highlight's man's helplessness..but in-spite of the obvious...Man continues to pretend that he is in complete control of things around him and also inside of him.
