Actor Rajev Paul is a well known actor on Indian television and he’s also known to be a clandestine poet for many years. Now however, he’s published his first book of Hindi poems which encapsulate myriad emotions – “From loneliness, love, separation, longing desire, pain, political situation in the country and the world over…and even about God,” he tells us.
Called Mumbai Mohabbat Aur Tanhai, “The poems revolve around situations that we all come across in daily life like loneliness, unfulfilled desires,unfulfilled dreams and emptiness – emotions that are experienced by all people in all cities across the world,” he reveals.
Priced at a modest Rs.150/- and available online, here is a sample of his poetic skills:
Uljha sa rehta hun
Uljha sa rehta hun
Pareshaan sa rehta hun
Dhundtaa hun mai tujhe..
Khud khoya sa rehta hun..
Dua mai karta hun
Khuda se roz milta hun
Intezaar bhi karta hun
Roz hausla bhi khota hun
Yun to tamannaye bhi hai
Hai kitni hi aarzoo bhi
Sab tujhse hi hai judi
Khwaishe saari hai khoyi khoyi
Tere hi khayalo me hun
Yaado ke baadlo me hun
Muskarane ko taiyaar hun
Magar abhi aanson ke saath hun
Uljha sa rehta hun
Parehaan sa rehta hun
Dhundtaa hun mai tujhe..
Aur khud khoya sa rehta hun..
