Vidur Jyoti / विदुर ज्योति

blooming apples
the last of snowflakes
still surviving
सेब खिले
आखिरी हिमलव
अभी भी जीवित है




bare feet
on wet sands
reminiscing
नंगे पैर
गीली रेत पर
स्मरण कर रहा






crumbling walls
among age old bricks
a peepal grows
टूटती दीवारें
प्राचीन ईंटों के बीच
एक पीपल उग रहा







once again
only shadows
both of us
फिर से
केवल परछाइयाँ हैं
हम दोनों





first bloom
in my mango tree
a vacant nest
पहला बौर
मेरे आम के पेड़ में
एक खाली घोंसला


Vidur Jyoti, a surgeon by profession, got introduced to haiku while talking about some of his earlier writings with an eminent haijin. Since then he has enjoyed haiku as a medium to arrive at a synergy between the elements of life which he encounters during the course of his professional activities and the moments of meditative solitude.
