Hospital

Hospital
-------------
Unlimited sufferings and miseries
Taking shelter in this abode
Helplessness fighting
Tooth and nail with despondency
Not easy to gauge
The depth of patient’s emotions when
The life takes an escape route
From the clutches of death often.
A new world it is
Boasting of to- letting pain
Hung between hope and despair
A winner takes it all
and smiles
Loser might have blessed the Death
for end of one’s misery.

हॉस्पिटल !
--------------        

बेपन्हा कष्टों और दुखों को देखा है मैंने
हस्पतालों में आसरा लेते हुए
लाचारी की भी हिम्मत देखी है मैंने
निराशाओं से टक्कर लेते हुए
आंसन नहीं रोगियों की मनोबल को समझना
जिन्दगी को
 भी देखा है मैंने
मौत के चंगुल से निकलते हुए.

एक नई दुनिया है यह , अपने में हर दर्द समेटे हुए
आशा निराशा में हर कोई त्रिशंकु बने हुए
जो जीत जाये यहाँबस वह मुस्कुरा देता है
जो I गया ,वह मौत को दुआ देता है.

----------
Behpanah Kashton aur dukhon ko dekha hain maine
Aspatalon mein aasra lete hue
Laachari kee bhi himat dekhi hai maine
Nirashaon se takkar lete hue
Aasaan nahi rogiyon kaa manobal samjhna
Zindgi ko bhi dekha hai
Maut ke chungal se nikalte hue

Ek nayi duniya hai yeh, apne mein har dard samete hue
Aasha niraasha mein har koyi trishanku bane hue
Jo jeet jaye yahan, bas vh muskura deta hai
Jo haar gaya wh maut ko dua deta hai.

    Comment: A hospital is a place where life and death hang in a balance.... For many it is a place to get a new start in life., yet for another group it is the final terminus.. Vividly pictured the agony of hospital life!

    Comment: Beautiful way you have portrayed the picture of patient and hospital. The concluding lines are beautiful.. Winner takes it all, while looser is blessed with death freed from pain thereafter..poets notes indicate poets mother is the winner, who came with all the smiles. Yes, those who are waiting outside ICU too suffers a lot...loved the way you portrayed it.

    Comment: The poet in his spirit and love to the suffering people says the different sufferings in hospitals to the patients and it is very nicely said. In fact hospitals are a place where the humanbeing becomes helpless sometimes and sees the suffering and hardships and even death. The poet sees the thing in its correctness and beautiful expressions of truth which he is capable of through his words and made the poem.

    Kaul ji, your recent experience has created this grand reflective poetry today ! I had been in Poona's Army Hospital's Ortho. Ward for six months having undergone a major operation of my right tibia head after a scooter accident at Nagpur! Wrote a few poems there too! My wife has undergone two major operations at the RR Hospital here in Delhi for the vericose veins on both the legs ! I am very familiar with these hospital cases and ICU, in full sympathy with you ! Sitting at the Lodhi Road Cemetery after the cremation of my mother, I had pondered on the ultimate futility of all existence itself!! But then Life goes on and we remain blessed, since we get this precious Life only Once, since I do not believe in rebirths! Thanks for sharing & best wishes for your Mother too! Take care, -Raj

    Very nice sir.. wait for your active participation.....
    The water must flow
    Even without direction to go
    It is life like nature
    We need to make it sure

    Yes life is full of pain and losses
    Still we need to think and suppose
    Spring and autumn are very much part
    When they depart, the monsoon can start

    No one is immune
    We got to dance as per tune
    Almighty is graceful enough
    He has yardstick to make you laugh
