Ananya Jamaja

Note: An Oriya poem written in English script

Mo saahita
Sedina tu bi janmaneithilu.
Muun thili aloka pate,
Aau tu
Thiaa hoithilu mo chhai andharare
Mote daraibaku
Kandaibaku.

Tela jarajara kari
Moa mathare, galare kalatipa dei
Chhanchuni khande chhindai
Moa seja pakhare rakhi
Baau jetebele
Gadhiaku chaula dhoibaku jauthila
Aau pitagama saga lobhare padi
Pheribaku deri karuthila
Tu pada chipi chipi aasi
Mo seja pakhare basi
To damara damara akhi pataku leutai
Bada bada dantaku nikuti
Mote hantasanta karuthilu.
Kanda suni
Mo saanta daudi asile
Tu chhu maruthilu.

Mo sangare janma hoi
Tora kipari ete bada bada danta hela ?
Se rahasya
Ebe bi muun bhedi parini.
Pacharilaru
Tu danta kadamada kari
Kichhi kahunathilu.

Saanta ta puruna loka
Tanku achhapa jainathila to bheka.
Tote bhagaibaku
Se Satyanarayana brata mo pain kale
Tu tikie hatijai andhara pinda re basuthilu.
Muun pujapare, ratire
Chemini barika, Budhiaa maa o Bainshi pieesha ghare
Bhoga dei pherila belaku
Tu mo bata oogali
Garudu garudu kana sabu kahuthilu.




Muun patikari chilamari assilabelaku
Mo saanta lathan dhariPahanchi jauthile.
Tu tanku dekhi dari
Lasara pasara hoi ubhan hoijauthilu.

Tu ete kana sabu janithilu je
Mote bahe kahi bhulau thilu ?
Kana karithanthu mora se andharare ?
Mo hata goda bhangi pakaithantu na
Mo jibha kati neithantu -
Pacharithili tote
Kintu mo saanta dari
Tu kichhi kahinathilu .

Saanta chaligala ra alpa kichhi dina pare
Bapa kemiti akala re achala hoigale, Oo
Tu tara sujoga nelu
Agare basi
kala pataria mahabala bhagha helu
Haai mari to bada bada muniaan danta gudaku
Ajathare barambara mote ganibaku kahithilu.
Mote daraiba paaeein
Mo hata re kendara dei
Kiri kiri hasiba paaeein.

Moa sanga re janma nei
Tora moa upara
Ete ahaanta kahinki ?
Pachhari thili ketethara tote.
Sabuthara boau deithiba
Kala sutare bandha deunria
Mo gala re jhulu thibara dekhi
Dum dum hoi chalithilu
Puni pheri asibaku
Sujoga undi
Darandi darandi.

Ebe
Muun mo kama re loka gahale thilabele
Tu mote apekshya karithau ghare
Sopha upare,
Ketebele
Saffola o sorisha tela sisi duiti majhire
Dali chhaula daba sandhire ki
Moo puruna maruthi kara ra diki bhitare.

Gharaku pheri nirola re basithila bele
Tu luchithiba jagaru bahari
TV ra parada upare
Asarira rupa sabu nei nachu.
Chhi ! Tu emiti rupa badalei
Sarama hina hoi kahinki nachhu ?
Kemiti nachhu
Langala pada nei
Chhanda hina hoi
Aakhire asuyaa ra surama lagai ?

Kete bele tikie thaka re
Nida lagi asuthila bele
Tu gote udbhata joka hoi
Mo dhamani ku ajathaa gudai rakta pampa kari deu je
Muun ananishwashi hoi uthipade
Tu khaata aarakadare thiaa hoi
Khapara dhari rakta sabu pieebaku maagu.

Ki asambhaba tora se jukti
Dei ouni nebaku dabi karibara,
Phula dei
Luchhai kanta phodibara,
Jibana dei
Mrutyu magibara.

Mrutyu mora
Chhaka panjha ra nahin prayojana
Tu ta satya chirantana.
Barang, saathi de
Kama sari chhalijiba
Hata dhara dhari hoi
Gai gai
A janmar achhanda bhara madhura ragini.
Gapi gapi
A janmara abhual kahani
Soie jiba bahala nida re sei amba gachha tale
Dui samadhi majhi re
Chakhande jamire.
