वन प्रवेश....!

कल तो मानों ज़िंदगी शुरू हुई थी,
कब पचास पार कर गए, पता ही न चला।
कल तक तो पढ़ाई में मशरूफ़ थे,
कब नौकरी में खो गए, पता ही न चला।
कल तक माँ से गिला किया करते थे,
कब बीवी के हो गए, पता ही न चला।
कल तक बच्चों की तरह खेला करते थे
कब बच्चे बड़े हो गए, पता ही न चला।
कल बापू के सफ़ेद बाल गिना करते थे
कब बाल झड़ने लगे, पता ही न चला।
कल ज़िंदगी के हसीं सपने देखा करते थे
कब ज़िंदगी उलझ गई, पता ही न चला।
कल जो औरों को खुशीकेपाठ पढ़ाते थे
कब हसना भूल गए, पता ही न चला।

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is written on my younger brother's fifty first birthday, when he is entering in fifty one. For a middle class person life is not always easy...The life becomes a struggle...sometimes so stressful that a person cannot notice the life passing by and suddenly he found himself old feeling that he had never enjoyed the best years of his youth...! Some become middle aged directly from their childhood as they have to start earning to support and feed the family.

How life journey is going on has been astutely inscribed here incisively. Though this poem is written in favor of your younger brother's fifty first birthday yet it refers to general entity. The inscription is so touching. Let me cite some lines....कल ज़िंदगी के हसीं सपने देखा करते थे कब ज़िंदगी उलझ गई, पता ही न चला। कल जो औरों को खुशीकेपाठ पढ़ाते थे कब हसना भूल गए, पता ही न चला। thanks for sharing.10
