EGO by Ritu Bhanot

Ritu Bhanot is a free lance writer and translator. She knows four languages : French,English, Hindi and Pujabi. She also understands Urdu, but is not very familiar with the script, which she is trying to learn. Ritu migrated to Strausbourg, in Eastern France a few years ago, but left her heart behind, in India. She has composed a short poem for Guftagu. It is in free verse, or ‘atukant’ as we call it in Hindi.  

अहम्

अहम्

हाँ, जाने कब, क्यों, कैसे

स्वयं मैं,

बन गया प्रतीक

टूटते संबंधों

बिखरते सपनों का ।

 

कभी तो रौशन

तो कभी अंधकारमय,

अहम्

मैं

से बन गया अभिमान मेरा ।

 

टूटते सपनों

भटकते कदमों

ने न जाने कब

बना दी

दीवार-सी

दिलों के दरमियान

क्यों आ खड़ा हुआ

अहम् ?

    The beauty of this piece lies in its simplicity – I mean the way it stokes the basics our being with its simplicity.
