Khud Se Rooth Gya Hu Mai Poem by shashi kumar

chehre pe chehra le kar ji rha hu
khud se Door Kahin Chhoot Gya hu mai
mukhauta bhi ab chhoopa nhi sakta
Khud Hi Khud se Rooth gya hu mai.

jo kehte hai khud-khusi badi himmat ki chij hai
unhe mai batla hu du khud khusi badi aasaan hai
Himmat to jite ji marne me hai, aasma ke dekho
har din ghut ghut ke jina jabtak sine me jaan hai.
maut tab nahi aati jab aatm sarir chhodta hai
maut to tab aati hai jab apka apna koi aapse muh modta hai

mujhe gum baatne ka shaukh nahi ye kavita chahe adhuri reh jaye
gumshuda jina chahta hu jo koi padhe bhi to mujhe pehchaan na paye
har shaam ke saath dhal jata hu, q ki har roj wapas ghar jata hu
sapne me sukoon to rehta hai par ye darr v ki kahi subah na ho jaye
