I love many poets and poetry.Two that I would like to share with HN commuity at this time would be - Rumi and Gulzar
Rumi said things like
Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.I 'll meet you there.
There is a way between voice and presence
where information flows.
In disciplined silence it opens.
With wandering talk it closes.
(hindi) Dil toh bachcha hai ji
(english) Heart is such a child
(hindi)
Nazm uljhi hui hai seene mein
misare atke hue hain hothon par
udate phirte hain titaliyon ki tarah
lafz kaagaz pe baithate hi nahin
kab se baithaa hun main jaanam
saade kaagaz pe likh ke naam tera
bas tera naam hi mukammal hai
isse behtar bhi nazm kyaa hogi
(english)
A poem is entangled in my heart.
lines are stuck on my lips.
Fluttering like butterflies,
words refuse to settle on paper.
I have labored
for hours my darling,
writing your name on this blank sheet of paper.
Your name itself suffices;
What other poem can excel that ?
