घर न जा परिंदे

घर न जा परिंदे वहाँ ताला है बदला, तेरी चाबी से अब न खुलेगा,वापस कहाँ जाएगा?इतने दिनों तू था एक अजनबी, अब तुझे क्यों कोई गले लगाएगा?जिस युद्ध में था तू डूबा,वहाँ जाने से तुझे था रोका ,तू फिर भी लड़ने था दौड़ाकी तेरा रक्त

writing a letter scottshak musings

Forgotten Letters

मैं यहीं ठीक हूँ

जब तुम ठहरे हो एक कगार पर,कि अब टूटे की तब टूटे,जहाँ टूटने के सिवा और कुछ न कभी होता,इंतज़ार के चौखट पर शायद ही मन कभी सोता,तो क्या फ़ायदा हथेलियों का? जब रेत रोके न रुके, जब हर सोच हो बिखरने की, रास्ता हो

Summer Days

नाशपाती

नाशपाती नाशपाती,विश्वासघाती नाशपाती,मिठास के आड़ में दे जाती एक विचित्र स्वाद यह नाशपाती। खाने में न मिलेगा कोई साथी, क्योंकि सामने रखी है नाशपाती,उठा उठा कर अकेले खाओ, फल है भाई यह आत्मघाती। जा कर चुपचाप बैठ जाती, चढ़ कर यह मेरे छाती,भुलाने को तो
