जितना कुछ जानता हूँ मैं
एक खास सितारे को जितना
वो फेंक सकता है , मानता हूँ मैं
( एक तिरछे डंडे सा इतना )
अब एक नुकीला नश्तर -लाल
अब एक नुकीला नश्तर - नीला
जब तक मेरे मित्र कहते - कमाल
वो भी ख़ुशी से देखेंगे - ये सिलसिला
मेरा सितारा जो फेंकता है नश्तर - लाल और नीला
और फिर रुक कर एक पक्षी सा, एक फूल सा, लटका लहराता
उन्हें स्वयं को सांत्वना देनी चाहिए , की उनके ऊपर शनि ग्रह है
मेरे लिए महत्वपूर्ण है - क्या उन्हें उनके सितारे में विश्व नजर आता
मेरे वाले ने तो खोल कर रख दी है आत्मा , इसलिए मुझे अति प्रिय है
My Star by Robert Browning
All that I know
Of a certain star,
Is, it can throw
(Like the angled spar)
Now a dart of red,
Now a dart of blue,
Till my friends have said
They would fain see, too,
My star that dartles the red and the blue!
Then it stops like a bird,—like a flower, hangs furled,
They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it.
What matter to me if their star is a world?
Mine has opened its soul to me; therefore I love it.
