बसन्त ऋतु 

चरीको चिरबिर चिरबिर

बसन्तको याम

हराभरा स्वच्छ मौसम

कता घुम्न जाम् 

छन् सारा पशुपंछी

प्रक्रितिमा रमेका

के के कुरा गर्दै होलान्

के होलान् त गमेका ?

न चर्को घाम न पानी

मनमोहक यो बेला

मौसम सधैं यस्तै रहे

कति जाती हुन्थ्यो होला !

Rustic taste in an urban setting

Birds are talking

Dogs are talking

Man is silent

They are asking

“What has happened?”

“Why are things different?”

Trees look greener

Buds are opening

Flowers are blooming

No vehicles around

No cars, no bikes

No traffic, no rush

Life at a standstill

All of a sudden.

Bells ring in the temple

Situated about a half kilometer

Kitchen cutleries

News broadcasting and telecasting

Even mobiles ringing

From neighbours

Clearly audible.

When it rained

The purity, the freshness

Tiny planes in the sky

Water tankers, hawkers, milkmen

Make their ways

And rush out immediately after duty.

Such a rural taste

Amidst the city crowd

Do you remember this pleasure

When was last found?
