Dhai Aakhar Prem Ka Jo Pade So Pandit Hoye

Pathik prem hai, prem raah hai
pran prem ki abhilaashaa
prem manohar, prem sudhaakar
prem madhur jeevan ki bhaashaa.

Nidhi bhor ki prem manuz
prem saandya ki kusum bela
divas priya hai prem prahar
nisha-shab prem ka melaa.

Prem se deepak, prem se ujjawal
prem akhil samsar satv
prem jad aur chetan prem
prem satv, samsaar satv.

Prem agni hai prem joti hai
prem prem ki amit ashaa
prem prem ki khoj hai
prem akhil satya mimanshaa.

Rajya prem hai, Raaj hai prem
putra prem aur prem pitaa
prem avinashi, prem anushashi
prem atichetan, prem geeta.

Prem utsav hai, prem gnan hai
geet prem mahapraan hai
prem tapasya prem prarthana
prem ko koti pranaaam hai.

Prem madhur veena ki saragam
prem surili baanson main
charvaahon ke geeton main prem
vo paijainyan ki taanon main.

Prem nirgun hai, prem sagun hai
prem chir shanti ka aagaman
milan prem hai virah prem hai
prem prem ka nitanugaman.

Prem nar hai, Naraayan hai
prem antah ur ka aandolan
prem aatm chintan ka udbhav
prem sthavar, prem gaman.

Prem Kabir, prem Nanak
Budh prem aur Krishna hai
prem nav vihaag ki sarita
prem akshunn aur naveen hai.

Prem maheshvar, prem akhileshwar
prem haripad mahaan hai
prem deevakar, prem nishaakar
prem brahm samaan hai.

Prem manu ka Manusangrah
Prem Kautilya arthashashtra
prem ganit hai, perm tantra
prem sampurna nakshatrashashtra.

Prem Ramayan ki chaupayi
Prem Kuran ki aayaten
prem prabhu Ishu ki boli
prem kudrat ki nemten.

Prem Geeta ka mahabhed
Upnishad ka prem saar
Prem darshan ki shiksha
Vignaan prem ka chir adhikaar.

Prem ganesh aur prem anta
prem chatushvedon ki teeka
prem bhashya aur prem shankhya
prem param brahma sarikha.

Panditya pothi ka jnan nahi
panditya prem ka sakshaatkaar
panditya hridaya ka prem hai
prem samaadhi ka pratyahaar.

pothi padi padi jag muaa
huaa na pandit koy
dhai aakhar prem ka
jo pade so pandit hoye.

This is the only poem I like that I wrote after coming to IIT. I like this poem because while writing it I could effortlessly pick the right words, I could feel the harmony flowing right through my heart. I like it because after I was done I could sense the soothing smile of the lines. I like this poem, because I wrote it with all my heart. And offcourse I like it because it won me first GOLD in open IIT Creative Writing. I always wondered about the definition of Love and after I wrote it I found that the only suitable definition of love is that Love is undefined.
