Wohi waali Sadak !

"Itne me Tera bas ek Khyaal jo aa gaya..Laga jaise..

Peeche se ek Ajnabee ne Dost keh kar Pukara ho ...."

 

Woh Sadak(1) !  

 

Ruki nahi mai…Chaar kadam aur chaali

Ek saans rok ke phir..bas chalti rahi..

Din zarur dhal gaya tha

Par who sadak to Jawan thi ..

Raat ka fasana Andhere ne chupaya tha

Usi pehlu pe lekin chupe the jawan dil ke armaan bhi..

Tere khyaal ne to.. ae dost !

Yaad zarur dilayi thi.

Us sannatte ko sunte sunte ab to..

Maine, agle lamhe me hi, teri awaaz ki aas lagai thi.

Sapno ka to chod hi do..Hakeeqat me raste band nazar aye..

Pichle mod pe mudna jo bhool gayi thi ....

 

Mistress

It’s just another special day for her. A pale, wrinkled and lean body rests on the wheel chair and worries. What would have been so painful to the sky that it weeps for days ? She pities on the dark gray clouds above. What if the little bulbul’s nest amongst the weeds withers away with the downpour? All she knows is to worry and to wait for her sajna to return except for the times her conscience sticks to her..a few times when she remembers of losing whole of a family.

Bas inna sa mera fasana hai...tennu geet hijar da sunana hai..

Palko pe jo tune moti dekhe..dhage me pirona hai..

 

Younger was time when he used to listen to her geet and sat besides when eyes were salty. They used to speak words of faith. Now, the gray eyes hazily stare at the broken walls of her place where the first brick was laid with care. Her days go special for once she had loved. This sajni has thought of living special days and hopes of a future with every song of hers and so she worries. She dips her early biscuits in anticipation although her soul is on the verge of leaving an ugly cage.

Menu mere rab da vasta hai..dur..bahut durr chale jana hai.

Ud jan de mennu..panchi ban kho jan de is khule aasmaan me.

Woh Sadak !

 Der Raat jab mai Ghar laut rahi thi..

Khaali Sadak ko logon ki kami thi

Ek geet jo mai gunguna rahi thi

Usme bhi thakawat ki nami thi..

Bawra Mann Dilli ghum raha tha

Jaise din abhi Dhalla hi na ho..

Aur un Beete Lamho ko Maap Tol raha tha

Jinme ek Ansuna Kissa chupa Pada ho

Kuch Durr jo Chali ayi mai...Hai koi nahi

Na koi Sadak ke Ujalo mai..na koi Andhero me..

Aur Teen Char kadam pe to jaise

Man bhi chup sa gaya ho

Itne me Tera bas ek Khyaal jo aa gaya..Laga jaise..

Peeche se ek Ajnabee ne Dost keh kar Pukara ho ....
