"मेरो नेपाल"

हाम्रो देश, हाम्रो संविधान
बन्ने कहिले हाम्रो पहिचान ?
जब–जब जाग्छन् वीर नेपाली
तब–तब हुन्छ हाम्रो कल्याण ।

अखण्ड र शान्त हाम्रो नेपाल
चिनिन्थ्यो विश्वमा रही बलवान ।
बुद्ध र भृकुटीको देश नेपाल
खै के भयो ? कहाँ गयो यसको शान ?

लोभ र लालचले डुबाइसक्यो
हाम्रो नेपाल हराइसक्यो ।
जाति जातिमा विभाजित भयो
पृथ्वीनारायण शाहको फूलबारी यो ।

के भयो हामीलाई ?
किन यस्तो अप्ठ्यारो ?
किन भयो हामीलाई गरिखान गाह्रो ?
बन्द र द्वन्द्वले नै मार्यो,
शान्त नेपालको चाहना प्यारो ।

शान्ति र स्नेहको बाटो त्यागौँ
भयो हामीलाई हिंसा नै प्यारो ।
के यही हो शान्त नेपालको चाहना ?
कि हो यो आक्रोशित जनताको भावना ?

Just a feeling.

Suddenly I saw her eyes saddening. Her expression seemed so pure yet made me fall to my knees and acknowledge my weakness. Even though I loved her more than my heart’s content, I could do nothing for her. I could only sit back and stare at her sad face, acknowledging her failed attempts to smile. How could I be so reckless? I couldn’t even take care of the only thing that was mine. Being so close but still worlds apart from each other we were. The way her hair fell lightly on her skin like butter on bread felt right in some way. The only thing I wanted to do was to hold her close and apologize. But think I have even lost the right to do that. How could I scar her so badly, when I know she means the world to me and that I would lay just a wooden log without her? How could I act so irresponsibly? Now I stand in this room, wondering if she will ever forgive me for this sin I’ve committed or will I always regret my wrong doings.
