Meenakshi Sharma, writing under the name "yeh shabd," shares her evocative poem "ये शब्द" in the Poetry category of the Poetry and Creative Writing Competition 2026. This competition celebrates diverse voices and themes from around the world. Sharma's poem delves into the transient nature of words and emotions, capturing their fluidity and impact on the human psyche.

About the Work

"ये शब्द" presents a thoughtful exploration of how words transform and take on new meanings as they transition from inner thoughts to shared expressions. The poem captures the essence of emotions like love, anger, forgiveness, and melancholy, illustrating how they evolve and solidify into fixed forms once spoken. Sharma's use of vivid imagery and metaphor enriches the reader's understanding of the power and limitations of language.

Original Submission by meenakshi Sharma

ये शब्द…

ये लौटकर कभी मन का दरिया नहीं होते हैं।

जब तक भीतर हैं

कल-कल जल की धारा से बहते,

रोज़ नए बनकर उमड़ते,

कभी प्रेम, कभी क्रोध, कभी क्षमा,

तो कभी मायूसी बनकर ठहरते।

जब तक भीतर हैं, तेरे हैं।

जब तक भीतर हैं, रूप बदलते रहते हैं।

जब बाहर आए, रिहाई है।

जब बाहर आए, ये सबके हैं।

जिस मन तक जाएँ, वैसे हैं।

जिसने जो समझा, वैसे हैं।

अब रूप नहीं बदल पाएगा इनका।

अब तो औरों की सोच के साँचे में ढले हैं।

तेरे होकर भी, पराए लगते हैं।

अब वे अर्थों में बँधे, अनजान हो चले हैं।

जो भीतर स्वच्छंद बहते थे,

अब वे जमकर ठहरे हैं।

एक बार ठहरे,

फिर ये नहीं बहते हैं।

हर पल बदलने, बढ़ने और ढलने वाले,

अब एक आकार में सिमटे हैं।

हाँ, भावों के जल को पंख देते हैं,

पर फिर स्वयं ज़ंजीर बन उन्हें बाँध भी लेते हैं।

ये शब्द…

लौटकर कभी मन का दरिया नहीं होते हैं।
