कैसा विचलन

विस्तृत
धेरा
का
हर एक कोना
कभी न कभी
प्रस्फुटित
होना
कंटीली राहों पे
कैसा विचलन
सुनते हैं है
काँटों मैं भी है
फूल खिलने का चलन

तकदीर

गर रोने से ही
बदल सकती तकदीर
तो यह ज़मीं बस
सैलाब होती
गर अश्क बहाने से
ही होती
हेर गम की तदबीर
यह नम आँखें
कभी बे आब
न होती















i

किरदार

वक्त के लंबे सफ़र मैं
किरदार यूँ बदल जाते हैं
वो जो कल
चला करते थे
थामे अंगुली हमारी
वही आज आगे बढ़
हमें राह दिखाते हैं

BIASED

HE WILL BE BLAMED
FOR BEING BIASED
IF HE WON'T EVER
MAKE ME SUFFER
I AM ALSO
A SEGMENT OF
HIS CREATION
A PASSENGER OF
SAME CARAVAN
WHERE ALL
MOVE FORWARD
IN SHADE OF
PINK N BLUE
OF LIFE
IF I REMAIN
UNAFFECTED BY
TREND OF THIS WORLD
WON'T THE FRAMER
OF MY DESTINY
BE DEFAMED
FOR BEING BIASED

SPEECHLESS

THOUSAND SPEECHES
WON'T TEMPT ME
I CAN SPEAK
BUT I AM MUM

रेत की दीवार

ज़िन्दगी रेत की दीवार
ज़माने मैं
आँधियों की भेरमार
जाने कब
गिर जाए यह सतही दीवार
फिर क्यों ज़िन्दगी से
इतना प्यार

?

O!MOTHER
CONFINED IN YOUR WOMB
SCARED OF MY
INTERROGATIVE EXISTENCE
I BESEECH YOU TO
ANSWER MY QUESTION.

COZ I AM A GIRL
I HAVE BECOME UNWANTED?
ARE YOU ASHAMED OF
BRINGING ME INTO THIS UNIVERSE?
YOU WOULD HAVE HELD YOUR HEAD HIGH
AND FELT PRESTIGIOUS IN SOCIETY
BY GIVING BIRTH TO A GUY?

I AM A SEGMENT OF YOU
WON'T THE VERY THOUGHT
OF EXTINCTING ME
MAKE U STIR N SIGH?

I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
BEAUTIFY YOUR ORCHID LIKE ROSE
DEMANDING SPECIAL ATTENTION
I WILL FLOURISH LIKE'MARFGO'
GROWING UNCARED
WITHOUR CAUSING ANY TENSION
BEARING LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS
WON'T CAUSE ME FROWNS.

WITHOUT ME,WHO WILL APPRECIATE
CONSANGUINITY OF BROTHER N SISTER?
WITHOUT ME WHO WILL CELEBTATE
RAKHI N BHAIYA DOOJ, FESTIVALS GREAT

HOW WILL DURGA,LAXMI AND SARASWATI
INCARNATE ON THIS EARTH?
AND WITHOUT ME,THE EARTH'S PRIDE
HOW WILL GROOM GET BRIDE?

MOVED BY INVOKING QUESTION OF
ENTITY OF THE WOMB
MOTHER TRIED TO PROVIDE HER SOLACE
CONVINCING HER WITH MOTHERLY GRACE.

OH!MY YET TO BE BORN
DARLING DAUGHTER
I CAN SENSE YOUT BREATH
YOUR MOVEMENTS,YOUR SENSATION
I M YOUR MOTHER
YOU ARE MY FASCINATION.

IT IS MY SACRED DUTY TO GENERATE YOU
I KNOW ONLY ONE GIST OG LIFE
NURTURED ON SELFLESS SELF
WHETHER IT BE A GIRL OR BOY
BOTH ARE EQUAL IN MOTHER'S EYES

YOU ALIGHT IN THIS WORLD
SAFE N HEALTHY
IS MY CHIEF CONCERN
INCARNATION OF CREATION,POWER N ENERGY
YOU FLOURISH IN THE DENSE SHADE OF AFFECTION
I NOURISH YOU AS FIRM FOUNDATION.
