lohe ka swaad

“Shabd kis tarah kavita bante hain,
ise dekho… aksharon ke beech ghire hue
aadmi ko padho

kya tumne suna kee yeh
lohe kee awaj hai ya
mitti mein gire khoon kaa rang?

lohe ka swad lohar se mat pucho…
uss ghore se pucho jiske muh mein lagam hai”

A Poem by “Sudama Pandey Dhumil


“Look how are words moulded into a poem, read the man who is surrounded by letters. Did you hear something?

Is it the sound of iron or the blood split on the soil?

Don’t ask a blacksmith about the taste of iron, but ask the horse who has it in his mouth…”
