खामोशियाँ

गूगल से 

वो बातें बिन बोले भी बयाँ  होती है 

जिन्हें कहते खामोशियाँ  जवाँ होती  है 

प्रदूषण और परिवहन

(Inspired by Delhi Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal's drive to free the Capital of pollution)

प्रदूषण  पे 

रोक, राह तकता  

खड़ा लंगड़ा  

रतजगे सपनें

I remember it was a week day
Boarding the bus on a busy road
Was suddenly accosted by this
Vagabond of a man 
Not exactly in tatters, for sure
But had a glassy look about him
Rumpled hair and dry mouth

Reddish in colour, quaint manners...

I shrank as he extended 
A dirt striped hand
And mumbled something like
"Didi! give me a tenner please
Haven't eaten a morsel 
Whole day long"

Spontaneity had the better of me
As I handed him the note
He vamoosed as though he was never there!

The man next to me grinned derisively
"Made a fool of you! He's a dopey... you see"

We share the day with each other
And everyday invariably 
They leave the table littered with 
Sparsely eaten plates 
I tell them, "Its a waste! 
Recall those who do not have enough
Children of forgetful Gods..
They belong to this Earth
As you and I do"

They have stopped sharing the table with me
And call me names
Behind my back, of course!
I overheard one of them, the other day...

I shun them as well

It doesn't hurt anymore
The feeling is mutual 
As usual...


Note : "Didi" is an address for elder sister

In the mystique folds of Life

I have found YOU

In serendipitous moments

Of self discovery

And realized with awe

That I am not the Only One

Who has wept blood

And bled tears

In your loving embrace

I have found solace

And in bliss of ignorance

Named it a Miracle

That I am still alive!!

क्या राज है ये

दरमियां हमारे

गहराता सा

उधेड़ बुन

सपनों का मगर

उलझाता सा

खामोशियों में

अफसाने हजार

दोहराता सा

बीते रुत वो

गरज बरस का

धुंधलाता सा

छंद सुगंध

गीत मोह मादक

छलकाता सा

बेनाम सही

चाह? खींच? कशिश?

मदमाता सा

मीत गीत ये

रीत से परे, चित

हरषाता सा
