है लावा होने की ललक अब


कई गलियों से भटकते हुए,
आज इस मोड़ पे आए हैं ,
कि रास्ता अपना लगे अब ,
और मंजिल पहचानी सी ।

यूँ तो अनजाने में हमने ,
तीर कितने चलाये हैं ,
पर आज निशाना है नया सा ,
और नज़र सयानी सी ।

अंधेरों में मुरझाते रहे ,
सूरजमुखी की तरह ,
पर रौशनी आ गई अब ,
और हो गई दिवाली सी ।

जड़ों को सींचा होगा कभी ,
जो आज ऐसी छाँव मिली ,
काम आई है सोच नई और ,
संस्कृति वही पुरानी सी ।


आसमान को ऊँचा कर दो ,
फ़िर परखो मेरी उड़ान ,
मुझमें नूतन जोश है अब ,
और उमंग अनजानी सी ।


टिमटिमाते जुगनू कई हैं ,
और छिटके सितारे भी हैं ,
पर है लावा होने की ललक अब ,
फ़िर लौटी जवानी सी ।

  8. @Asbah and Uz: hey now that some of us writing in hindi lets have an english trasliteration widget enabled.. what say? :D I'd really want you to read this one... asbah..

    My favorite lines from the poem are the last few ones.

    (an exclusive tansliteration just for you guys)

    kayi galiyon se bhatakte huye,
    aaj is mod pe aaye hain ,
    ki rasta apna lage ab ,
    aur manzil pahachani si .



    yoon to anjane mein hamane ,
    teer kitne chalaye hain ,
    par aaj nishana hai naya sa ,
    aur nazar sayani si .



    andheron mein murjhaate rahe ,
    soorajamukhi kee tarah ,
    par raushani aa gaee ab ,
    aur ho gayi diwali si .



    jadon (roots) ko sincha hoga kabhi ,
    jo aaj aisi chhanv mili ,
    kaam aayi hai soch nayi aur,
    sanskriti vahi purani si .




    aasmaan ko ooncha kar do ,
    fir parkho meri udaan (flight),
    mujhmein nootan josh hai ab ,
    aur umang anjaani si .



    timtimaate jugnoo kayi hain ,
    aur chhitke sitaare bhi hain ,
    par hai lava hone kee lalak ab ,
    fir lauti javani si .

    I hope now its much better.. :) hope you like the poem.. :)
