Lohe ka Swaad... Taste of Iron

शब्द किस तरह कविता बनते हैं,
इसे देखो.
अक्षरों के बीच घिरे हुए आदमी को पढो.
क्या तुमने सुना कि ये लोहे की आवाज़ है
या मिट्टी में गिरे खून का रंग?
लोहे का स्वाद लोहार से मत पूछो…
उस घोड़े से पूछो जिसके मुह में लगाम है।
~धूमिल
How do words evolve into a poem,
Look, try to identify...
Man himself, tangled in the web of letters.
Did you hear...
Is it the sound of Iron Or Blood spilled on the soil?
Don’t ask the blacksmith about the taste of iron...
Ask the horse, who has it in his mouth!!
