Hisaab

मेरी मेहनत! :)
--------------

नहर एक गन्दी सी ,लहरती हुई
फिर भी साँस लेती हुई
बहकती हुई, की ज़हर है रगों में
रोति हुई , अपने ही गम को इकठ्ठा करती हुई
एक दिन , एक दिन अचानक
अपने आप से मुकरती हुई

एक फकीर बोला सुन, सुन एक बार फिर
एक ,दो फिर तीन गम का हिसाब
अपने ही गम में , शर्माते
अपने नसीब का हिजाब...

Hmm Nice attempt ..
Btw coz you are interested in Hindi poetry ..
Have you read Dushyant Kumar? Do try reading him ..

"Neher ek gandi si ,leherti hui
Phir bhi saans leti hui
Behekti hui, ki zeher hai ragon mein "

isse mujhey unki ek kavita yaad aa gayi ..

Iss nadi ki dhaar mein thandi hawa aati toh hai ..
naav jarjar hi sahi .. lehron se takraati toh hai :)

Looking fwd to more ..
Writing in Hindi surely is fun ..

I'm re-pasting the suggestion I gave you elsewhere -
"The simplest thing to do is - go to a desi vernac newspaper website that allows you to type emails in Roman script which instantly gets transliterated to devnagri. Type stuff in, do a screen capture of the devnagri font, and you are through. This way, you never need to learn to actually type in devnagri.
Unless, of course, you want to do some cool devnagri layouts/fonts to create visual poetry along with the lyrical poetry - then you need to simply download some devnagari fonts for your word processor."
