New Morning.... Poem by Pradeep Pathak

Aaj zindagi dhundhne nikla hun...
Fir nai duniya padhne nikla hun...
Sochta hun! hawa ka rukh dekh lun; ...
Main jaib mai aaftab liye nikla hun...

Dekh samander sihayhi sa ho gaya...
Her Didar-e-shakhs humraahi sa ho gaya...
Quatil kaun hai apne gunahon ka? ...
Aaj he jaga hun mai-fir sambhala hun...
Aaj zindagi dhundhne nikla hun...

Kanpta hun main-jub baris mai bhigta hun...
Hansta hun main-jub rait mai chalta hun...
Daurta hun kala libaaz pehnun jub bhi...
Mai mamuli nahi-bus albela hun...
Aaj zindagi dhundhne nikla hun...

Rooh tak baat pahunch gai apni...
Serfarosh si tasveer ban gai apni...
Hanzir hun fir-naye intihan ke liye...
Zamin mai rooka hun main-aub nahi fisla hun...
Aaj zindagi dhundhne nikla hun...
