आम्रमंजिरी – AAMRA-MANJIRI


The mind of human beings always wonders here and there. It is not still. The mind is always in search of permanent happiness.Every person wants to know the answers of questions like, who am I? What is the purpose of my existence?  Where shall I go after my deathIn the primary stage of man’s spiritual growth he tries to find out the answers of such questions. When he finds basic answers of such questions, he starts to create himself as his desire.

In this poem different states of happy mind are described.  In  happy state of mind the poetess imagines that she is a flower, she is a colourful cloud, she is a full-moon-night in the winter season. She feels that she is a bird Cuckoo, singing happily. She feels that she is a blossom on mango tree. In the last stanza she asks, why her eyes fill with tears?

मीच शोधिते मला, कशी धुक्यात हरवते
मी पहाट कोवळी, दिशादिशात पसरते

दवात चिंब नाहुनी, मुक्त केश मोकळे
माळिते तयावरी, मोती आणि पोवळे
अबोल पारिजात मी, अंगणात बरसते

सांजवेळ रंगता, रंगात त्या रंगुनी
इंद्रधनुत बावऱ्या, मी तनास लपेटूनि
विभोर रंग-मेघ मी, अंबरात लहरते

नकोच ओढणी निळी, चंद्रकळा नेसते
नको भाळि पूर्णचंद्र, चंद्रिकाच रेखिते
शारदीय रात होत, चांदण्यात नाहते

मीच का ती कोकिळा, चैत्रगीत गाउनी
वसंतास हसविते, शिशीर दूर पळवुनी
मृदुल आम्रमंजिरी, फुलाफुलात उमलते
