सुशांत सिँह राजपूत के असामयिक निधन ने मेरे अंतर्मन पे असर डाला। वह इसलिए नहीं कि वह इतने बड़े सेलिब्रीटी थे और मेरे चहेते थे बल्कि इसलिए कि वह उन सब युवाओं के एक तरह से चेहरे बन गए जो अंत्यंत परेशान होकर यह अतिवादी कदम उठा लेते हैं। बस इसी सन्दर्भ में एक तरह से ईश्वर से मेरी बातचीत के रूप में मैंने यह अंग्रेजी कविता लिखी है।

Sushant Singh Rajput's untimely demise has deeply affected my soul. Not because, he was such a big celebrity and was my favorite but because he sort of has become the face of all those young people who take this extreme step after being thoroughly dejected. In this context, I have written this English poem, It is in the form of a conversation with God. Do read and share your review.

In the moments of truth

In my rudderless youth

I call to you, Oh lord!

To come aboard

And see the faces people wear

With no sense of fear,

Come and see

amidst the melee

the loneliness of just desire

the angst of the fallen spire

which stood once with glory

as hero in the story

Behold the sight of defeat

Of a man once so complete

But let me repeat

Man is replete

with unfound hope and faith

,even if you are absent

looking passively from your sacrament,

a pure soul shall place

all its nobility upon earth’s face

given just a chance, just a single chance

it shall regain the stance

to shine once again

amidst the falling rain

for it has always been like this

even if everything is amiss

the sole soul fights

finds the wrongs and rights

to meet your imperfect creation head on

despite the odds

despite the rots

it finds the way

to raise its head high

once again to the sky

and somehow gains the strength

to bring at length

the life to your world

dead and absurd!
