The words.
The colours.
The in-between.

A room for words,
without a name at the door.

Us Paar is an anonymous literary publication for poetry in Hindi, Urdu and English. The name means “on the other side”, an invitation to step a little beyond the familiar.

Here, colour opens the door. Then the page grows quiet. Each poem has its own atmosphere, and each reading leaves room for your own.

The originals are presented in Romanized Hindustani, preserving the supplied verses and stanza breaks. Each poem also has its supplied English transcreation. Other script versions and transcreations will be added only when supplied and approved.

Three poems begin this gathering: Darwaze Par, Phir Kabhi andAakhri Pahad Ke Baad. These manuscript transcriptions are pending final author proofreading. No automatic translation or script conversion has been used.
