काठमान्डौँ

यहाँ शहरमा,
उसै कोलाहल जमेको छ
मानिसहरु भित्र
अनी सडकमा,
हिंड्ने भन्दा थुक्ने बढी छन्
ज्ञानीहरु,र म। 
रत्नपार्कको एक छेउ,
शिरीशका रुखहरु 
आफ्नै छायाँ कुल्चदै झुम्मिएका
एकसुर
वसन्त पर्खदै-
नेपथ्य,
आफैमा स्वरुप खोज्दो छ निरन्तर
भ्रम-चेतना आगन्तुकको ।
हरेक साँझ,
उसका आँखाहरु रसाएको देख्छु
अनी सोच्छु,
आँशु सत्य कि चोट?
जब सपना फुट्छन्-
पालो मिचेर
एक पछी अर्को अनी,
मर्दो रहेछ भोक पनि
सुन्य भएर
यहाँ,
शहरमा

Some Things That Stay

That used to be-my things I'd give
And envy all that flies away.Softly
They sail in the golden aurora,and lure
Beings with lackluster heart-
We are.
I'd keep myself in melancholy
And weep all day in delusion;naive I am
And that's not living I know.Just trying to,
I forget.
Everytime to forgive is human
Not at times-we do.
Even then everyday,
Listen to the wind it says
As some seeds they wither to flower
We should let things go,and
That's how it works.
In life,
Some things they run so easy
And some things they stay.
Forever.
