Fire-Hymn Summary in Hindi
“फायर हाईम” कविता केकी एन० दारूवाला के द्वारा रचित एक रचना है जो साहित्य एकादमी एवार्ड के प्राप्तकर्ता थे। उनकी कविताओं में मौलिकता होती थी। उन्होंने एक घाट जो जल रहा था, का वर्णन किया। घाट में कुछ सामान को छोड़कर सब कुछ जल गया था।
लाल रंग पूरे आकाश में फैला हुआ था और उससे निकले धुंए से ऐसा लग रहा था कि धुआँ सबको निगल गया और ग्रे (भूरा) रंग की राख छोड़ दिया। कवि कहते हैं कि वह इस आग को कभी नहीं भूलेंगे। उन्होंने यह कहा कि ऐसी आग पच्चीस साल की अवधि में, जब उनका जन्म हुआ था, नहीं लगी थी। उन्होंने शायद गलती की थी इसलिए वह माफी माँग रहे थे
यह वही आग है जिसने सब कुछ बर्बाद कर दिया।
