Was arranging and dusting my books , jo mahine se na chue jane se gard chat rahi thi, , these lines of Gulzar made me smile.

"kitabein jhankti hain band almaari kay sheeshon se
bari hasrat se takti hain
maheenoo ab mulaaqat nahi hoti
jo shamein in ki sohbat main kata karti thein,
ab aksar guzar jaati hain computer kay pardon par
badi bachain rahti hian kitabein

zaban par zaiqa aata tha jo in safhe (page) palatne ka
ab ungli click karne se bas
ik jhapki guzarti hai
buhat kuch tah ba tah khulta chala jaata hai parde par
kitabon se jo zaati rabta tha kat gaya hai

kabhi seeny pe rakh ke lait jaate the
kabhi godi main rakhte thay
kabhi ghutno ko apne rahal ki soorat bana kar
neem sajday main padha karte the,choote the jabhee se
khuda ne chaha to wo sara ilm to milta rahega baad main bhi

magar who jo kitabon main mila karte thay sookhay phool
kitabein mangne,girnay,uthane kay bahane rishty bante the
unka kya hoga
wo shayad ab nahi honge!"
(Gulzar)

Meel ke pathar

jeevan ki raahon mein,
gati pakadte hue,
apne gantavya tak pahunchne ki ,
utkantha mein,
hum bisra dete hain bahut se log,
kuch pahchane, kuch anjane ,
aur andekha kar dete hain,
un drishyon ko ,
jo aankho ke pat par aa khulte hain,
ek natkiyata ke saath.
aur vo chaanv bhi kahan yaad rah paati hai,
jahan rook kar dam lene ko man chaha tha.......
dikhti hai to bas sooni na khatam hone wali sadak...
jo kabhi seedhi, to kabhi ghumavdaar,
kabhi choti choti pagdandiyon mein bant jaati hai...
bina disha nirdhark sanketo ke, jahan aap dhoondhte rah jate hai kuch landmarks,
ya poochte hain, ajnabiyon se apni hi manjil ka raasta.
par itne anubhavo se do chaarr hone ke baad bhi
bas yaad rahte hai to mile ke pathar........

Tumhari yaad

Yaadon ke jungle mein ,
main yoon stabdha khadi thi,
jaise svayam se hi hoon nitant aparichit,
jahan kuch aur nahin dikhai deta,
is beeyaban jungle ke siva,
aur apni parchayiaan jo darakhto se lambe hone hi hod mein ho,

aur aa jati hai aise mein teri yaad,
patto ke beech se jhirti sooraj ki roshni ki tarah.

Jaagta hua bachcha ,
Jagata hai,
Ek thos vishvas,
Jindagi me.
Hriday ke bheetar,
Aur sote hue bachche ka chehra
lagata hai,
Ishvar ki mohar,
is dastavej ke oopar
(Poet unknown)

Rishte

Rishte bhi pani ki tarah hote hain,
Kabhi chalte hain veg se,
Kabhi sookhte hain jindagi ki ret pe,
Kabhi ud jaate hain vashp ban ke, fir se umad ghumad aa kar baras jane ko
Kabhi aankho mein rook jate hain, aansoo ki manind bas yoon hi sath sath roolane ko
To kabhi ubal padte hain aaveg mein
Bulbulo se shanbhangur bhi hote hain, jo aaj hain, kal nahin
Barf bhi ban jam jate hai sheet prapat mein,
Ushnata kho dete hai baat hi baat mein
kuch rishte aise hote hain ki un mein apna pratibimb dikhai deta hai,
jo kabhi nahin suna tha, vo antarman ka satya bhi sunai deta hai,
Par fir bhi,
rishto ka hona utna hi jaroori hai,
jitna pani ka,
Jeevan ko jeevan kahne ke liye……….

A mouthful of sky

Baada kaat kaat ke haaa ne,
buna hai tere liye ek aasman
Ab pankh faila aur ud chal
Yoon kar athkheliyaan
Jaise ye hai tera bichouna
Au tu hai is duniya se anjaan,
ek nanhi si jaan.
Yoon odh le ise,
ki tu abhi jaane nahi hai udna
Bana le pankh is aasmaan ke,
aur ud chal
yoon chonch mein daba le,
is dhara ka koi kona
ki ek ho jaye dharti aasmaan
pal bhar ke liye
aa dekh tere liye khula aasmaan
lahrate aanchal ki tarah
bicha hua hai
teri raah takta
