zindgi ka asaan sa raaj

aj ek panchi ko aasmaa se girte dekha,
pankh to nahi lekin hausla toota tha sayad..
girne nahi diya use dharti tak maine,
main bhi udne nikla tha aakash me hi tham liya..

pucha usse kyu marne ka irada hai?
wo bola toot gyi jindgi se meri aas..
baadaloon ko chu kar udta hu,
lekin mit-ti hi nahi meri pyass..

samjhaya use, sehlaya use,
thandi hawao me nehlaya use..
batlaya use kush rehne ka raaz,
bas upar uth-te raho lekin kam karo awaaz..

kisi se daro nahi,
kisi ko darao nahi..
muskurate raho har pal,
kisi ka dil dukhao nahi..

kehne laga wo mukjse haste haste,
lagta hai naya naya udna seekhe ho..
tumhe pta nahi sayad hawao me kitni garmi hai,
sooraj ko sirf pedo ki chhaoon se dekhe ho..

batlaya use mene ki pankh mere naye hai,
lekin tapti dhoop ki garam zameen ka ehsaas hai..
kabhi ladhkhadate hue chala karta tha,
aaj uncha udne ka pura hua khwab hai..

sun o parinde, neel gagan ke sehzade,
zameen me bhi aag, aasmaan me bhi aag hai..
bhag mat mushkilo se, jeena seekh le,
sab kuch hai asaan agar hauslo me faulaad hai..

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..
