आज फिर / today anew

आज फिर शुरू हुआ जीवन
आज मैंने एक छोटी-सी सरल-सी कविता पढ़ी
आज मैंने सूरज को डूबते देर तक देखा
आज मैंने शीतल जल से जी भर स्नान किया
आज एक छोटी-सी बच्ची आई, किलक मेरे कंधे चढ़ी
आज मैंने आदि से अंत तक एक पूरा गान किया
आज जीवन फिर शुरू हुआ

today life started anew.
today i read a short, simple poem.
today i watched the sun set for a long time.
today i bathed to my heart's content in cool water.
today a little girl came and shouting with delight climbed onto my shoulders.
today i sang a whole song, from beginning to end.
life started anew today.

- रघुवीर सहाए / raghuvir sahay
from the same anthology mentioned before
