By Destination | Bimal Kishore Shrivastwa
Ask not how much austere discipline,
rigorous willpower is required
to reach the long-envisioned destination!
Sacrificing your sleep, thirst, hunger,
passing through dales and gorges,
you may outreach there.
Has anyone accomplished
a mission without venturing?
But zealous travelers, taking Platonic vision,
when you set out for an expedition
to amend your society,
how do you feel marking those,
who once hold out the destination,
get blinded, influenced by power, greed
and forget their mission?

Passion | Bimal Kishore Shrivastwa
Sheer passion is generated by curiosity.
Expectation nurtures your fancy
in the pursuit of your art
shaped in the emotive spirit.
Like a jocund fish swimming in water,
a jolly butterfly surrounding a fragrant flower,
an enthusiastic bird soaring into the horizon,
a passionate thoroughly relishes his passion.
It is unshaken by the disheartening judgments
of your well-witted-wishers.
It is not crushed by the tumults,
pandemic, distress and hunger.
Nothing overwhelms you,
not even the day to day grind
to achieve your dauntless dream,
once passion becomes wild.

डुबुल्की | Bimal Kishore Shrivastwa [Offline Thinker]
डुबुल्की
हिजोअस्ति जस्तै लाग्छ
कोसी नदीमा डुबल्की मारे पछि,
बलौटे किनारमा घाम ताप्दै
नियाल्दा भन्थे दाजु, काका, हजुरबाहरुले
‘भाई रमाईलो गर’।
निलगगन, निर, ढुङा र पहाडहरु जस्तै
अल्लारे मलाई ठिटीहरुले पनि मस्की मस्की हेर्ने गर्थे।
आजफेरी
सप्तकोसी नदीमा पौडी खेले पश्चात
घमाइलो किनार नियाल्दै मात्र के थिए,
‘अंकल रमाईलो गर्या’ भन्दिए
भाई, भातिज , ठिटीहरुले।
हे गगन, निर, ढुङा र पहाडहरु,
तिमीहरुले अड्चालिस बसन्तहरु काटेका छैनौ र ?
फेरी तिमीहरुमा जस्तै तरुण मबाट कसरी हरायो ?
