Zindagi

kuch khuli khuli si kuch dabi dabi si hai
zindagi kuch apni si kuch ajnabi si hai
thodi thodi si daudi daudi si
zara zara dheere chal rahi hai
har pal ab palko pe mere
ek pal ki zindagi pal rahi hai

thodi thodi tod li kahin pe
thodi thodi chod di wahin pe

tukde do tukde
kisine na pakde
honge pade
yahin kahin
jahaan kahin
wahin sahin
zindagi...
....................................................
ruki ruki si raatein rookhi rookhi si baatein
suni suni si baatein sooni sooni si raatein
kuch dafnaate chale
kuch apnaate chale

bulbule se chehre bula-bulake pahne
chulbuli subah ko jala gayi dopahre
marham lagaaya kahin
maatam manaaya kahin

kabhi kabhi kahin baha gaya
kabhi kabhi nahin raha gaya

chehre woh chehre
na guzre na thahre
honge pade
yahin kahin
jahaan kahin
wahin sahin
zindagi...
....................................................
buri buri si aankhein bhoori bhoori si aankhein
bhari bhari si aankhein bhaari bhaari si aankhein
kuch dikhate gaye
kuch dukhate gaye

kisi kisiki roohein kosi kosi si raahein
koi kisiko chaahe kaske thami si baahein
kuch kuch jagaaya bhi tha
khud kuch jalaaya bhi tha

apne banaaye to hote nahin
sapno ke saaye to hote nahin

sapne woh sapne
tadpaane tadapne
honge pade
yahin kahin
jahaan kahin
wahin sahin
zindagi...

You write so well....one feels the poem....
you read them still better....one loves the poems after you read....

a rare and wonderful gift to translate feelings into words in two languages.....
Thanks for your comments...I really feel like a poet :))

बहुत बढिया... आपका वाक़ई अच्छी कविताएँ लिखते हैं। एक सुझाव - अगर आप देवनागरी में लिखें, तो पाठकों के लिए काफ़ी आसानी रहेगी।
