वक्त के होंठों पर एक प्रेम गीत
Deepak Arora’s first collection of Hindi poems, “वक्त के होठों पर एक प्रेम गीत” is a long saga of love, reminiscences and longing - depicting every shade of life. The poet talks about love, yearns for the lovely moments that love bestows but at the same time, he is also aware about the pain and the loneliness that culminates in the journey of attachment. This futility of love and life which is synonymous for him reflects in these kind of lines - “साबुत पैदा हुए सब टूटते हैं अंततः”. These poems written in the mists of time captivate and mesmerize the readers and compel them to think about the journey of life. We are born in a crowd, spend every moment of our life in a crowd but it is true that we are doomed to be alone as long as we are alive. There may be real love in this world but only a fortunate few can claim of having experienced it. These kind of lines fill tears in our eyes when the poet says,
“वह खड़ा था कुएं की जगत पर, हिचकिचाते हुये कहा उसने....प्रेम
कुएं ने प्रतिध्वनि मे कहा वही शब्द
शब्दों की जादूगरी, अर्थों की कशीदाकारी दोनों ने उस पल मे छोड़ दिया सम्मोहन,
आह! कितना निरीह हो सकता है कोई केवल एक शब्द खोकर। “
Written in free verse, this is the first and last collection of the poet who devoted his life to poetry, whose sole reason for existence was poetry but unfortunately life had other plans. Do read Deepak Arora to dive in the varied emotions of love and life.

A rare find indeed and a fortunate one too....I'm not really into Hindi books and except for a few well known authors, I don't even try and experiment.But this one came highly recommended and although I had a few misgivings in the beginning but by the time I reached the end, I was really glad that I picked this up.
Love....hard to define...hard to categorize....millions of poems have been written on this one emotion - an emotion that is so universal that even animals experience it. It touches every life, in one way or the other and this anthology is a tale of the author's longing and quest for love. Love and pain are two sides of the same coin and wherever one goes, the other follows. This is poignantly captured in the poems of Deepak Arora which show that love and separation are inseparable.
Although the imageries are a bit difficult to understand but every individual can identify with the soul of the poems....which ultimately talk about the basic human need for love.

Deepak Arora : Tale of a sad bird
" I hav read poetry for many years but after shiv kumar batalvi ...Deepak Arora was the second man whose poetry touched my soul...He was a legend in love poetry....he was not an ordinary man ...he was a man whose roots were deep inside...Every poem is a milestone in its own, if an intelligent reader is there...this poetry is full of emotions....poetry that tells us that a man is very alone in this cruel world....his poetry is a longing of human soul...eager to break the chains and live that very precious moments of freedom.....while going through his poetry u will travel through the dark caves of human soul .when he says" Born complete everybody will break at the end"..the wait of a lover...रोज़ मिलने की खवाहिश /और/कभी ना मिलने के अहद में/उलझी ज़िन्दगी/कसाई की दुकान पर ,हुक से टंगे/उल्टे लटके बकरे सी हो गयी है/सीने से खून टपकता है/कपडा मार कसाई हर नए ग्राहक से/पूछ लेता है ,क्या दूं साहिब ?/एक रोता दिल,एक फूंका जिगर ,या फिर/एक बेचैन ज़ेहन ?
one can easily feel the depth of the words...the words that penetrates deep into us..and then he says
रूह कसाई अब भी नहीं बेचता/जो मेरे पास नहीं/तुम्हारे पास नहीं/कैसे बेचेगा ?/हाँ बाँट सकता है हकीमों की मानिंद/हमारे दर्द की पुड़ियाँ
चाहतों के जंगल में ,पहली बार आये/नए सैलानियों को /बांटते बांटते बताएगा भी/ले जाओ ,पर सो नहीं पाओगे/आज के बाद .....
It is very sad that the grt pen departed from us..
The sensitive and passionate man will always be there in our heart..in his poems....highly recommended poems if a man beleives in love...he gave every drop to make these poems live.....
स्मृतियों के लम्बे ,स्याह गलियारों से /गुज़रते आप सुन पाते हैं /अपने ही क़दमों की /
डूबती तैरती सी आवाजें /जैसे लगे होते हैं /कब्रों पर शिलालेख ..
