Andhere ka Darr

zindgi jhooth me buni hui lagti hai,
sach se to jese nata hi nahi koi,
andhere ki gehraio me khoya rehne do mujhe,
sayad bardash na kar pau roshni me tanhai..

dil ki sunu ya dimag ki maanu,
uljha uljha sa sama ho gya hai,
koshis to karta hu khushiya baatu,
lekin bewajah sabse jhagra hua hai..

koi jana pehchana sa shaksh puch leta hai,
kyo janab kin khayalo me ho aj kal?
unhe dekh ke khayal aata hai,
bas zinda hai or jee rahe hai har pal..

toota sa mehsoos hota hai khali jeb me bhi kuch,
hath daala to jeb bhi phati hui thi,
sayad bikhri kuch umeede thi usme lekin,
dheere dheere wo bhi sarak rahi thi..

roshni ki sacchai se bhagna seekh gya main,
sab dekha, suna par chup rehna seekh gya main,
kisi dost ne kaha tha ghabra mat! hum sath hai tere,
lekin bharosa naa karna seekh gya main..

kisi peepal ke neeche deepak jalta nazar aata tha,
naa jane kon apni umeedo ko roz jalata tha,
usi baati se jalna seekh gya main,
aakhir andhere se ladna seekh gya main..

World outside the window

  Sitting near the window of my hotel room, I could see the full moon shining bright in the cold mountain night. Must be around 10 or 11 degrees. I could feel the light breeze on my face. Just looking outside the window, it was beautiful, even in the night.  A silent full moon night high up in mountains could be so beautiful and soothing. I felt like my mind was empty of all thoughts. Like naturally meditating with eyes wide open and looking out into silhouette of huge mountains, like staring into wast spread of nothingness.  I could see tiny lights twinkling on small buildings spread across the small town near Shimla, India. Sometimes when i came to senses, a sudden flood of thoughts streaming through the brain. How much we(humans) have progressed. How much nature had paid for our actions. Constantly digging the heart of mountain to make clearings for agriculture and buildings. Yet, nature is forgiving and let us be in peace.  Peace, which is perhaps pet word of my ...

Bachpan ki yaadein

kitna anmol waqt tha wo bhi, papa jab sham ko ghar aate the.. jeb me unki 1-2 rupye ke sikke khankhanate the.. kabhi kabhi khud pyar se humare haath me thamate the.. kabhi jeb se gir jane pe main or behan uthane ko daud jate the.. subha jaldi na uthne ko bahane banana, school na bhejne ko maa ko manana.. yaad hai mujhe bhot mar khate the..

Ajaadi - the feeling of caged bird

Main nanha sa ek panchi hu, mujhe kaid na kar mujhe udne de, tajj pinjre ki deewaaro ko, aakaash se mujhko bhidne de.. ye simte hue jo pankh mere, mujhe ek bar failane de, kabhi lambi saans to bharne de, aajaadi me ghul jaane de.. tu kya jaane mujhpe beeti, tu jaano ka saudaagar hai, jo sookh ke registaan bana, mere sapno ka wo saagar hai.. jo waqt mila hai jeene ka, mujhe khushio se khil jaane de, kar yaad kabhi apna bachpan, mujhko bhi wo pal paane de.. kuch khel hua fir kudrat ka, ek joro ka toofaan utha, na jaane kyu nanhe dil me, ek soya hua armaan jaga.. hilne laga tha pinjra wo, or jhat se neeche toot gira, aazaadi ke is pal me wo, khusi se hawa me khood pada, wo sang hawa ke udta raha, toofaano se bhi bhidta raha, aajaadi ki jo khwahish thi, unhe dil se jod wo badhta raha.. ek nanha sa jo panchi tha, ab hawa se baate karta raha..
