ये लफ्ज़...

By -
मुद्दत से दबा के रखा था,
अब बेरोक जुबा पे आते हैं!
थोड़े नमकीन, थोड़े आवारा से,
कमबख्त, ये लफ्ज़ रुसवा कर जाते हैं!

उसकी आहट पे परेशान हों, अब वो दिन गये,
धीरे-धीरे हर बार अब कुछ नया कह जाते है,
थोड़े हसीन, थोड़े आवारा से,
कमबख्त, ये लफ्ज़ रुसवा कर जाते हैं!

उलज़ गई कल मैं बातोँ के जाल में,
मेरी बेबसी पे भी गुस्ताख कहाँ शरमाते है,
थोड़े  बेखॊफ़, थोड़े आवारा से,
कमबख्त, ये लफ्ज़ रुसवा कर  जाते हैं!

छोड़ दे लफ्जों का साहारा और बातें करें चुपचाप!
मेरी आँखों में ही छुपे हैं मेरे ज़ज्बात!!

    मैं रुसवा हूँ , मैं तनहा हूँ
    उस चांदनी रात का एक दिलकश लम्हा हूँ
    अल्फाज़ नहीं मेरे पास तारीफ करने को
    ये जज़्बात ही काफी है जो बहुत कुछ कह जाते हैं......

    these lines from my side dedicated to u and ur great poem...
    Simply Awesome creation!

    Ahh so beautiful. You know how much I love your Hindi poems, I have been waiting to read a poem in Hindi since a long time and finally my wish has been fulfilled. :D

    Although, at first I found it slightly tough to grasp the meaning of the words (mostly due to my limited knowledge in Hindi), but after I read it a few times, I just fell in love with it. :):)

      I was thinking of writing the meaning of few words as a footer to the post but then thought it would take away the beauty of this poem. However, after reading your comment, I think I should do it in future.

      Thanks for making the effort to read it and I'm so happy that you liked it. :)

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

फ़ुर्सत में मिलना मुझसे यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई देखना है तुम्हें एक टक शिकवे करने है तुमसे कई हज़ार जब नाराज़ हुए थे तुम मुझसे और जब छेड़ा था मुझे बीच बाज़ार चवन्नी-अठन्नी सा ढोंग मत करना मान लेना मेरे हर कहे को सुबकियाँ से काम मत चलाना बेहने देना ग़र आँसू बेहे तो  सख़्त होने का दिखावा छोड़ आना नुक्कड़ वाले बनिये की दुकान पे सिद्दत से एक बार बोल देना  कि गलती होती है इंसान से तुम मुझे छोड़ गए उसका तुम्हें कभी अफ़सोस हुआ है क्या मैं नहीं तुमसे पूछूँगी  कि मेरे बाद मेरी तरह किसी को छुआ है क्या  ना मैं इस युग की मीरा हूँ  ना हो तुम मेरे घनश्याम बस इश्क़ है तुमसे बेपन्नह मुझे बाक़ी सब कुछ है मुझमें आम  तुम भी सोचते होगे ना  यह तीली सा इश्क़, ज्वालामुखी कब हुआ यूँ समझ लो तुम्हारे जाने के बाद तुम्हारे ख़याल ने दिन में 100 बार मुझे छुआ अब गणित में तो तुम अव्वल हो हिसाब लगा ही लोगे पर सोच के आना जनाब  पिछले 15 सालों का हिसाब कैसे दोगे  तो आना बस फ़ुरसत में  यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं...
