ab kewal shanti se sona
latakte mathe ke liye arjun ne de diya
teer ka takiya
aur kuch nahin chahiye
patal toD mere sukhe munh mein uDeli ganga
sharashaiya par sirf lete lete
surya ke uttarayan ki pratiksha॥
astron ki jhankar, dhanush ki tankar,
ghoDon ki hinhinahat
rathchakr ki ghargharaht
in sabko bhedakar kisi pagadhwani
nirawta ko aur bhi niraw kar rahi !
ye kiski chhaya jala rahi kurukshetr ka andhkar
kaun hai jo dewawrat ki sharashaiya ke pas
khaDa ho kar raha bheeshm ko atankit,
pita ke swapn ko roop dene
jisne mana kar diya swapn dekhne se
pita ke wartaman hetu jo
jala gaya apna bhawishya
kathor us bheeshm ko kaun
ye dewawrat aaj kar raha wichlit!!
shmshan niraw is kurukshetr mein
kaun ho raha pragalbh!
atit ke andhere se, shilibhut wiwek ke niche se
karah uthti bhi hui rakt ki kakali
yaad aata warshon tak kaise
raat lambi hoti, deergh sans gahri ho jati
us deergh sans mein sulagte anwe mein bartan se
swapn komal man ho jata lal,
jalkar patthar banta, aur
us patthar tale jiwan ban jata hirak shapath
bheeshm ka janm hota॥
sab yaad aata
smriti ka sparsh teer se teekshn ho
sharashaiya ki shanti ka sanhar kar deta
he pita!
apko poorn kar mainne samjha
apurnata ka dahan
anubhaw kiya kitna hahakarmay
marubhumi ban akash ki nilima ko takana
phir bhi us din mainne marubhumi ki yojna mein
chhati bhari thi
shrringraj sa mahan ban baraf ke Dher tale
kintu dewawrat mara nahin,
dewawrat ko pot diya tha
use mar nahin saka
kshama karna dewawrat mujhe
jiwan mein antim kshan mein
ye wirat shunyata rah jaye sunsan
sharashaiya par paDi rahe ye mahan apurnata
ye hirak hahakar, itni hi mangta, he dewawrat?
swapn aur smriti ke maru ko
mat karo aur adhik aloDit
use mukt karo deergh sans ke jhaD se
swapn ki marichika se
mujhe kshama karo !!
