Anokhi Shaadi

Translation:

They belong to one another

It was hinted before

When the fast was broken with water

When the dupatta was dropped on the head

An auspicious time, it was an auspicious moment

When the engagement took place in Ma's temple

Sangeet, shagun, mehendi, haldi

All rituals were followed

Now has arrived that moment

When their link will be made

With a procession of emotions

A unique wedding night

The wind blew the conch

The bells matched the beat

In the presence of the Mother and Fire God

Carried out an unwanted marriage

There was no witness for the rituals

No witness for this marriage

But present are the parents

Who are part of the flow of stars

Not a bond for a few months

This union is for eternity

It is complete, not partly

The unique wedding of Arnav and Khushi

Episode 189

Amidst the heartbreak and ensuing chaos that was unknown to almost everyone, there was a celebration taking place, dreams finally being fulfilled, a happy occasion bringing cheer and joy to everyone around. The marriage of Payal and Akash. Even ASR couldn't help smiling looking at his delighted young brother, perhaps the only time he smiled that night while his heart battled a storm. Khushi who was dazed with the sudden turn of events didn't notice that smile, else she would have known that ASR didn't really mean to carry out his threats.

Here's a happy one amongst this series of painful poems.

Payal Akash Marriage

A demure bride bedecked in wedding attire

A bashful groom anxious to fulfil his desire

A verbal confession of love on lover's day

This special day chosen to be their marriage day

The wedding rituals begin with cheers and gaiety

Teasing the shy couple with talks quite naughty

Surrounded by loved ones and well wishers

While some eyes well up with happy tears

A long cherished dream is now being realised

Buaji, Amma, Babuji bless their cherished pride

Overwhelming are these moments for the bride's family

Payaliya, the loving daughter is married finally

A brother is happy, while a sister is lost

The families rejoice except Mami who's crossed

Akash carries his Payal whose cheeks turn red hot

And promise to help each other by removing life's knots

Episode 191

Anokhi Shaadi

Ek dooje ke hain ye dono,

Pehle se jatlaayi thi

Paani se jab vrat toda tha,

Sar par jab chunari giraayi thi

Shubh Mahurat, thi shubh ghadi

Jab Ma ke mandir mein huyi thi sagaai

Sangeet, shagun, mehendi, haldi

Saari rasmein thi nibhaayi

Ab aa chuki wo ghadi

Jab judegi inki kadi

Lekar jazbaaton ki baraat

Ek anokhi shaadi ki raat

Hawa ne shankh bajaayi

Ghantiyon ne taal milaayi

Mata aur Agni ke samaksh mein

Avaanchit byaah rachayi

Na rasmon ka koi gawah tha

Na gawah hai koi iss vivaah ka

Par sakshi hain mata pita

Jo hissa hain taaron ke pravah ka

Chand mahinon ka nahin bandhan

Hamesha ke liye hai ye sangam

Sampoorna hai, nahin ye aadhi

Arnav Khushi ki anokhi shaadi

Translation:

They belong to one another

Lovely poem. 👏

Love the collage which hold every ritual they did unknown to the fact that are meant to be together.

Devimayyah herself brought them together in her unique way.

Very true, they did every pre marriage ritual and there no one was with them to blessed them except their parents and devimayah. Even her phagphera ritual was too held in front of devimayah.

Above underline lines are my favorite.

Durga ,😊

Lovely array of al the rituals which they had done in their private moments under Devi Maya's supervision and under the stars .Orphans found each other in this whole wide world where no one sees them or hears them except this wind and fire which are their witness and protectors.

Beautiful Durga ,👏

Indeed Payesh Wedding was the best one and besides all the odds their life was setting it's own boundaries and limits.In the parallel of all the hidden sorrows , they are ready to sail the ship of their love .

A demure bride bedecked in wedding attire

A bashful groom anxious to fulfil his desire

A verbal confession of love on lover's day

This special day chosen to be their marriage day

Love the title😊 and the edit👏 where all of their rituals were done unintentionally and even their Pagphera after that happened from Khushi's natural mother's home ...Mandir of DeviMaiya where he married her in the dark night under her reign and then take her his home with DeviMaiya's permission in front of whole world .

But what a ray of hope they always have from Teej to all the way Payesh Mehndi where they both share their own mehndi and that night their union was destines to be .Patni ho will change into patti jo hoon.

Beautiful👏

Durga you are on a role here! And the way you are zeroing in on the main emotion in each of your poems is fantastic. Lovely thought.. It was not a conventional but absolutely real marriage. My favourite lines below...
