*दख़मा : पारसियों का क़ब्रिस्तान। पारसी रिवाजों में मृत देह को अग्नि के हवाले करने की जगह प्राकृतिक रूप से विघटित होने के लिए छोड़ दिया जाता है।
shaam ke jhutpute mein ghaat par jalti chita
sphuradipti ho rahi thi
ek bhutiya chhaya usmen se nikalkar
rahgiron ko bhaybhit kar rahi thi
haDDiyon par chandni jhar rahi thi
ek savere ghaat par tahalte hue
us dhusar raakh ko dekha
jo sab kuch nigal jati hai
agni ki lalima bhi
aur agni ki nirdayta bhi
adhajle ang agni ki dushtata ke sakshi the
mere pita ne kaha ha
tumhein wo aadhi jali hui ungliyan
aur haDDiyon ke thoonth dikh rahe hain?
agni kabhi kabhi apna karttavya bhool jati hai!
main ek parsi—
meri chhoti si ungliyan ek gaanth mein bhinch gain
mainne agni ko vismriti ke paap se
bachane ki qasam khai
tab se bees saal ho ge
agni ne phir wo bhool kabhi nahin ki
isi dauran mainne apne pahli santan ko
agni ke havale kiya
kyunki nikattam dakhma* ek hazar meel door tha
tab agni stotr ne mujhse kaha ha
mainne tumhe maaf kiya
main toot chuka tha
lekin apni bachi khuchi uddanDta ko sametkar
mainne agni ko kshama paap se bachane ki qasam khai!
*dakhma ha parasiyon ka qabristan. parsi rivajon mein mrit deh ko agni ke havale karne ki jagah prakritik roop se vightit hone ke liye chhoD diya jata hai.
