Phir se Trains

**

Khet ke boundary par ped khade hai : sentry ho jaise,

Raat ki khoobsurti badhati aakash ki chamak : jaise lazy sa koi pearl,

Train ki khidki se aati light : jaise chadhti utarti hai zamee pe,

Halki si baarish me yeh dekh raha tha : darwaaze pe khade,

Ki, gili chamak wale ek chote station ne bulaya : mano apna sannata baantne,

**

Aise bikhre the baadal,

Maano bachon ne khel ke baad khilone bikher diye ho,

Ki : koi khel hi raha tha,

Kaaun : aakash aur baadal ya nila aur safed,

Ya : kahin chand toot ke tukde to nahin ho gaya!

In a train on a new route,

So many routes are still single lanes and not electrified,

So many stations yet beautiful with large trees,

Some of us do not use trains, stating time,

I often wonder, how interesting other actions are!

Images depict one the remaining narrow gauge beauties.
