मेरो पहाड

नवराज सुब्बा

पहाड छाती ठोक्छ नशामा
घरीघरी ठोक्किन्छ भोकका भित्तामा
बिसाएर पीरका भारी बजाउँदै मुर्चुङ्गा
दन्त्यकथा बौराउन खोज्छ कुनै राजकुमारको
साइँला साइँलीको गाग्री र ढाकरले
पार नपाएको त्यो अपार थुप्रो मात्र नभन न गाँठे !
जुरेलीको जुरो हो मेरो पहाड
तर, हेर्दाहेर्दै समयको गहिरो पहिरोजस्तै
रगतका नाता गुरुत्वका बाचा तोड्दै
खहरे, खोला र नदीहरू
पहाड नाँघ्दै कुल्चँदै उँधै झरे
ए दुःखी पहाड !

My Past And I

MY PAST AND I

- Parijat

Like a tall bamboo pole
dissevered by a sharp
winter's wind at dusk
I'm off to kiss the past.
In the cracked, crumbling
sun-scorched land
there's an intimacy
between us
I won't need present or future
to know my past-

O NIGHT, O DAY- WAIT A MINUTE !

- Bhim Darshan Roka

Covered up by the crowd, I can't see out
Where am I? Where?
Looks like it's taken me back
spinning like a wheel
the road looks strange
O Night, O Day- Wait a minute! Stop!
I'm getting off here-
don't know what it was that made me get on
but I see I've stayed by mistake.

WHAT I WANT

- Haribhakta Katuwal

I won't go to school, pa
where history's dead days are taught.
Math formulas, too, are all worn out
like a rusty old machine
I don't want to get struck
between pages of history
anything but history
let me move on faster than that
and live in the days yet to come
so I won't go to school, pa
where history's dead days are taught.
I'd rather have lessons I can carry with me

कठघरामा उभिएर

- नवराज सुब्बा
हो ! हो ! हो !
म सत्य सत्य बोल्दैछु
आमाको परिभाषा म केवल आमा बुझदछु
जोड्दछु नाता नानाथरि
तर कदापि तोड्दिन यो नाता
कतिञ्जेल केरिरहन्छौ !
हिरासतमुक्त गरिदेऊ मलाई
अन्यौलबाट, रिक्तता, तिक्तताबाट मुक्त गरिदेऊ ।

भन, ती को हुन् -
जसले तिमीलाई काखमा राखेर बुबु खुवाइन्
माया गरेर बर्ुइ चढाइन्
