Pol Kholak Yantra - Ashok Chakradhar (अशोक चक्रधर)

ROFL. Literally. That was my reaction to this beautiful fictional poem. Here Ashok chakradhar puts forth his experiences with a mind reading instrument in a very humourous way. The poem comes as a breath of fresh air in an age where gross and indecent comedy has taken the place of humour. The humble style of poet is also remarkable and appreciable.

Khooni Hastakshar

खूनी हस्‍ताक्षर
- गोपालप्रसाद व्यास (Gopalprasad Vyas)

वह खून कहो किस मतलब का
जिसमें उबाल का नाम नहीं।
वह खून कहो किस मतलब का
आ सके देश के काम नहीं ।

वह खून कहो किस मतलब का
जिसमें जीवन, न रवानी है ।
जो परवश होकर बहता है,
वह खून नहीं, पानी है ।

Krishna ki Chetavani

कृष्ण की चेतावनी (रश्मिरथी)
- रामधारी सिंह दिनकर (Ramdhari Singh Dinkar)

वर्षों तक वन में घूम-घूम, बाधा-विघ्नों को चूम-चूम,
सह धूप-घाम, पानी-पत्थर, पांडव आये कुछ और निखर।
सौभाग्य न सब दिन सोता है,
देखें, आगे क्या होता है।

मैत्री की राह बताने को, सबको सुमार्ग पर लाने को,
दुर्योधन को समझाने को, भीषण विध्वंस बचाने को,
भगवान् हस्तिनापुर आये,
पांडव का संदेशा लाये।
