Gunachaur

I have never been to Gunachaur.
When I hear the word Gunachaur
	     something happens to me.

Mother used to talk about her distant relations
				                             living in Gunachaur.
I used to fly there on her wings.

I felt —
	   Gunachaur is a place
	   Somewhere beyond Jalandhar
			              near Nawan Shahar.
	   A light flickers in darkness seen from above.
I imagined the relations I never met.

Even now that place is not far off
It’s near	quite near
Where ever I happen to be 
My mother is with me
	     and Gunachaur is close by.
