Kis Baat Ki Ghamand! Poem by Azitej Anand

Sukun pane k liye zindagi ki rahon p chala,
Kuch rukha pan sa paya isme;
Ghr se niklte smay bhut prshno se ghira paya khudme.

Darpan dekh k nikla tha,
Socha tha dekh lia khud ko;
Fir na jane har kadam par,
Kyu jhank rha tha khud ko:

Sagar k kinare pahuncha,
To lehro ne pero ko bhigo dia;
Aisa lga,
Jaise ghamand ho mujhe me;

Samunder ne kha:


'Mana tu do gaz zameen se uncha hai,
Par asman se tu aj bhi nicha hai; '

Apni aukat smjha to baith gya,
Samunder k kinare me nichey:
Samunder se maine sikh lia,
Jo na sikha darpan se,

Shant rehna,
Mauj me behna;
Ek lehar jo tut jaye,
To tute lehro ko sang chlana;
Sang rehna,
Andr si tuti hui lehro ko asman tak uthana:
Har ek k andr us sahil ko chumne ki himmat,
Kuch rahe na rahe,
Sahil tak pahunchne ki attot si sukuniyat:

Har boond apne jeevan me mehaus krega usse,
Or sath ho sbka to ek sin ufnega us se:
Sang chale hum to par lga dengy,
Insan ko chodh k,
Sbse sikh lengy;

Chavvi sagr ka khud p bnata,
Sache astitva k sahi mayna sikhlata,

Tu na tha or na hai-
Fir,
Ghmnd kyu h;
Kya khoja tune,
Bs smjha hi to h:

Hva pal pal sikhati chlna,
Badal yu garzna;
Surya dikhaye tujhe zamana,
Raat k andhkar me maut ka yu ithlana;

Abhi to tu smjha h sirf ek ansh ko,
To kyu dikhaye ghamand;
Abhi to ek panna tak ni smjha,
Fir kis baat ki ye ghamand,
Fir kis baat ki ghamand.
