Just found an amazing blog, with extremely well-written poems.

Here is an example copied from there:
that moment
that moment when the ball runs into
the fiercely protected muddy patch
exactly as it's supposed to
that moment when he turns shyly,
scans the crowd, a gleaming smile
on his dirt-stained little face
for the rotund happy woman
who points him out as her own
claiming him while she still can
that moment when a boy leaps up
and catches the sun
in his perfect little fist
that moment
posted by Anindita
I am taking the liberty of translating it, somehow seems perfect for the purpose.
woh lamha
woh lamha jab gaindh ja girti hai
daldal mein, laangh ke sab deewarein
theek waise hi jaise hona hai
woh lamha jab sharmatay sharmatay
woh murta hai, bheedh ki ore dekhta
dhool dhooshrit chehray par muskaan liye
uss moti, khush aurat ke liye
jisnay ik issaray se ussay
chunn liya hai apnay liye
woh lamha jab koodh kar
woh ladka thaam leta hai sooraj
apni majboot, nanhi muthi mein
woh lamha
(So its a translation of Anindita's poem, its NOT my poem)!
