बांवरा सा मन मेरा, यह तो है अलबेला
चल पड़ता यही, दिल में तराने लिए
न टिकट कटवाता, न ज़रुरत है इसको पासपोर्ट का,
न लम्बी कतारों में रुकना, न भारी सामान उठाना,
नहीं करता कोई सोच विचार, न चाहिए किसी का साथ,
आंखे मूछे, बस निकल पड़ा यूही,
बांवरा सा मन मेरा, यह तो है अलबेला
हसीन वादियों में खो जाता कभी,
तो कभी अनगिनत रेतों की कहानी सुनता
ऊंचे पहाड़ो को छू लेता कभी
तो कभी जंगल की घेहराईओ में खो जाता
समुन्दर के सदा बहार लहरों के संग शाम बिताता
तो कभी बागो में फूलों संग नाचता
लहराते बदल से दोस्ती कर लेता
तो कभी सावन के बूंदो से दिल बहलाता
हिम के सफ़ेद चादर तले ठंड से ठिठुरठा
तो कभी पंछियों सा मदमस्त आकाश में उड़ता
हँसता गुनगुनाता बस यूही निकल पड़ता
बांवरा सा मन मेरा, यह तो है अलबेला
This wandering mind of mine
sets off, singing a melody.
Without a ticket or a passport,
nor the hassles of long queues and heavy baggage,
with no planning or company needed,
it embarks on a journey, at the blink of the eye.
This wandering mind of mine
sets off, singing a melody.
At times, it loses itself in pristine surroundings
or listens to the many stories of the infinite sands,
at times it scales the peaks of gigantic mountains
or gets lost in the wilderness of the woods,
at times spends an evening with the oceanic waves
or sways along with the dancing blooms,
at times, it fosters friendship with the wafting clouds
or soaks itself in the gentle raindrops,
at times, it shivers under the white expanse of snow
or soars like a carefree bird in the blue yonder.
Smiling and humming along,
it embarks on a beautiful journey.
This wandering mind of mine
sets off, singing a melody.
Wonderful

I travel most of the time using the mind in cities where i had been to; imaginary paddy fields and forests where i could not have been..You have depicted the powers of the wonders of the wandering mind so well, Radhika.

What a true piece of the beautiful and powerful mind. The resilient mind that can break or make us, the wandering mind that can, like you rightly point out, take us miles away from us and bring us back in a flash, the dreamer’s mind that can live in a world that does not even really exist!
A powerhouse in itself, the mind is indeed one of the miracles of the Creator.
