I would like to share a very beautiful poem which was recited by the actress Udita (playing Kaya) in the Pooja Bhatt-directed movie Paap. The sublime poetry (see below) is in Hindi:
"Kholo kholo apni aankhen
aur gaur se suno ...
dene ko toh bahut kuch hai,
par apna sa kuch dena chahti hoon ...
ek boond suraj ki,
ek qatra aasman ka,
koyal ki aadhi kook
aur kuch jagmagate sapne ...
achcha lage toh aur maango ...
dene ko toh bahut kuch hai,
par apna sa kuch dena chahti hoon ...
aasman sa aaina,
ek dibbi titliyon ki,
ek chamach nadi ki dhar,
aur ek mutthi zindagi
...
achcha lage toh aur maango ...
dene ko toh bahut kuch hai,
par apna sa kuch dena chahti hoon"
I have translated it in English for the viewers. Here is the English translation:
"Open, Open your eyes
And listen carefully,
Many things are there which can be given
But I want to give something personal to you
One drop of the sun,
A fragment of the sky,
Half song of the cuckoo bird,
And some glittering dreams
If that feels good, ask for more
Many things are there which can be given
But I want to give something personal to you
Sky akin mirror,
A box of butterflies,
A spoon of the river,
And one handful of life
If that feels good, ask for more
Many things are there which can be given
But I want to give something personal to you"
