Baandhon Na Naav (Suryakant Tripathi Nirala) by Desh

[audio:BaandhoNaNaav.mp3]

This is the week of Valentine’s Day.  I wanted to bring some poems on love by the best of the Indian poets to you.  I am starting off with Suryakant Tripathi Nirala – my favorite.  Here he is reminiscing his beloved – long lost yet so real that he cannot see another in her place.  He uses rural symbols to bring the message home.  Short but beautiful nevertheless!
