झील पर जैसे चांद

हर रोज, सुबह जब उठता हूँ मैं तो

मेरे संसार का दरख्त

उग आता है मेरी चेतना में

मेरे जीवन में

जो कि मेरे संसार से परिभाषित है,

दोपहर होती है,

सांझ भी पक्षियों का मधुर संगीत

और सरिताओं का मधुर- मधुर बहना।

फिर हर रात

मेरे संसार का दरख्त

बीज में परिणत हो जाता है,

मेरी नींद में

हर सुबह फिर

करोड़ों बरस बाद,

कई जन्मों की श्रृंखला के बाद

पूरा का पूरा दरख्त मेरे संसार का

उगता है;

झील पर जैसे चांद

मां के लिए

25.3.25

देहरादून

His universal popularity and presence is bewildering. He is everywhere: In Uttarakhand agitation, taking out “prabhat pheris” i...

Transcending Borders

Transcending Borders Narendra Singh Negi and the Ethos of Romanticism Narendra Singh Negi, a poetic voice resonating through the gorgeous valleys of the Uttarakhand Himalayas, exemplifies the Romantic sensibility in a manner that transcends mere physical landscapes. His songs and poems, much like the European Romantics and American Transcendentalists, echo a longing for transcendence; an existential wish to connect profoundly with nature, humanity, and the cosmos. What sets Negi apart is his use of the vernacular tongue, drawing from the everyday life of shepherds, grass reapers, and villagers, blending the simplicity of the life of hill folk with the profound depth of Romantic thought. Negi’s songs and poems, akin to the poetic expressions of Romantic poets like Wordsworth, Keats, and Robert Frost, reflect an unfathomable reverence for nature. His lyrics whole-heartedly celebrate the feelings of love with a deep exploration of the human condition. Yet, h...
