Maa - The memories

भाई को जेवर, सामान मिला हिस्से में, 
बहन के हिस्से में पति का प्यार और ससुराल आई
मैं सब से छोटा था इसलिए मेरे हिस्से में माँ आई॥
साथ रहेंगे उम्र भर, यही सोचकर मन में तसल्ली आई

खुद कभी स्कूल न देखा, पर हमें पढाया और सींचा
दे गई हमे ऐसी शिक्षा की सीख
जिस से टूट  गई हमारे दुःखों की नींव

पुलिस की नौकरी थी भारी,  मेहनत भी थी  इसमें  खूब सारी
पर माँ  से मिले हौंसले से
पार हुई नौका सारी,

बच्चों को सँभाला, पत्नी के सर पर हाथ रखा
अकेले ही बन गई हम सब की पक्की सखा

और फिर माँ  की दुआओं ने वो काम कर दिखाया
मेरे जैसे खोटे सिक्के को भी "अक्स" खूब चलना सिखाया

अगर माँ न आई होती मेरे हिस्से में
तो प्यार को समझ न पाता किसी कहानी  किस्से  में

आज जो भी हूँ सब उसकी मेहनत  का नतीजा है
वरना  उसके अलावा मेरे जैसे का कोई होता है

माँ की याद में,...

Aaj main jaldi uth gaya,
aisa nahi ki main sari raat soya nahin,
par aisa bhi nahi  hua  ki main
kisi pal subah ki pratiksha na kar raha..

Uth kar sabse pahle maine,
apne saathi ko dekha..
wo bhi shayad raat bhar soi
nahi tabhi nidra ne muh-andhere
hi use daboch liya..

Samne lage shishe me
apne aks jo ek hi raat me
mera na raha
khud ko dekhte hi
ganga-jamuna se
bhar gaya..

Maine apni dabi hui chitkar
ko aur dabaya par
kambakhat na jaane
kaise besudh hokar ujagar
ho gai aur mujhe bi
nanga kar gai..

Sharm ke maare " arun"
main uth kar ' Bath-Room'
me aa gaya lekin mera chhupna - chhupana
bhi bekar gaya..

Sathi ne meri pee(d)ra
ko pakad liya aur apni
pee(d)ra se use
vyakat kiya...

Ankhon me chhitte marta
muh me kulla bharte hue
toliye ko jab maine kheecha
to use bhi bhi geela-geela paya
lagta hai raat bhar
se wo bhi soya nahi aur vyarth
me hi mu-andhere geela hi raha...

bahar nikal kar deewaron
ki taraf yuhi dekha,
peelepan ki jard me
lipti hui mere khokhalepan
ki tarf ingit kar gai,
khali si chhat bhi jaise
sar par mere aa tiki
pankhe ki khad-khad me udasi jaise jeet gai
aise mahol ki neerasta mujhe das gai..

Kuchh log baithe the
aur kuchh log aa gaye aur
beech me mera beta
jamin par so raha jaise
abhi uth kar muskareyga,
sirhane par jalta hua dia
jaise jiwan ki aag ko
byan kar gaya...

Ek aah si bhar kar
apne anshuao ko peekar
apne sathi ko kandhe lagakar
uske dukh ki anubhuti se apne
dukh ko jala kar nikal pada
main apne bete ko anant yatra
par bhejne ke liye jahan se
aage ab na koi uska chhor hoga
aur nahi mera...

Kal tak jise ungali pakad kar
chalna sikhaya
kal tak jise apne budhape ka sahara
samajh kar jiya
aaj wahi mera apna mere kandhe
par uth kar mujh se pahle aage chala
kabhi na wapas aane ke liye...

Al-vida beta, tera aur mera
ye fasla ab kabhi kam
na hoga aur tu ek
sach ki tarah meri jindagi se
kabhi gum na hoga..

A birthday letter to son from his parents

                                       27/10/2014

Dear Priynk

Today is a special day for all of us. On 27/10/91 you are gifted to us from Almighty Shiva. You are now 23. Time flies but memories never.

Dear son, You have a potential to become good and help others. The men who are pronounced as Great saviours were born as ordinary beings but they choose themselves to be grown as exception and progress as great.

This is the time when you have to keep intact; control and strong as we never know what tomorrow the ocean may brings to you. This life is full of opportunities and good luck and remember it includes even what we miss in life passage.

When you have choose a path to reinvent yourself then go on it. It may mean missing comforts; Luxury; Partying,  Eating or many more. You may feel standing naked on a icy hill top in the middle of night where all are making fun of you. It is your test..the test of patience.. Test of endurance.. The test of your strength to check that how much "will" you have to achieve your target , how much rejection you can handle from you for yourself. No one is born as victor .. its what all achieve through hard work; determination and dedication.

Remember you can not always live your life making all happy. You have a choice... You will always have the choice.. Choose fearlessly.

You have a dream ..live this dream.. Protect it.. If you want something.. Go and have it. It may even mean hurting some people who you love and adore.

Your life is like a sweet box and every time you pick up.. You never know what you will get but it would always be sweet and sweeter.

You know we always  become what we choose to become.. Many times the mistakes committed in past may hurt you.. It is normal.. You can not run from them but you can learn from them...

Remember either you will do or you won't and try does not exist in our life so do it religiously.

LIVE YOUR LIFE COMPLETE ...

Fulfill your dream..achieve your goal and realise  self. Your determination will bring best of fruit gifted to you by Almighty God.

Take care our son... We love you.. We always love you..

And once again Happy Birthday.. God be with you.

Yours
Maa and Papa...
