अंज़ाम सोच के कहाँ ...

अंज़ाम सोच के कहाँ 

आगाज़ की जाती है ज़िंदगी I

टूट के, बिखर के हीं

कई बार... 

परवाज़ की जाती है ज़िंदगी I

###

क्या पता था की...

क्या पता था की...
ज़िंदगी किस्मत की परछाई है?

क्या पता था की...
ज़िंदगी दर्द की ऊँचाई है ?

क्या पता था की...
एक अबूझ सच्चाई है ?


क्या पता था की...
ज़िंदगी आगे कुआँ पीछे खाई है?

इतना मत मुस्कुराओ यार...

इतना मत मुस्कुराओ यार,
किसी के लबों ने सिर्फ़ आँसू ही पिए हैं I

अपनी किस्मत के आसमान  पे,
इतना मत इतराओ  यार,
किसी को  खूब मेहनत के बाद भी ,
बस ज़िंदा रहने के सामान हीं मिले हैं I

###

तुझमें मुझमें ये अंतर था

तुझमें मुझमें ये अंतर था,

की तेरा 'मैं' मुझसे बेहतर था,

और मेरा 'भय' मुझमें निरंतर था I

काश की कोई जंतर होता,

'मैं' साधने का कोई मंतर होता,

तो आज मैं भी उफनता सागर होता,

तेरे जैसा मेरे पास भी पावर होता I

The definition of real rational!

Nowadays our land is reverberating with the shrill sounds of dissent against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). People arguing against CAA consider it irrational. And the herd of innocuous intelligentsia is hell-bent on proving that the CAA is a lope-sided act forgetting conveniently that the audacious dismembering of a considerable chunk of Hindusthan in 1947 was not a balancing act either. I am yet to hear a clamour about that from these guys.

The definitive rational was only Mr.Jinnah who decided that Hindus and Muslims couldn’t live together, so as a rational step the land of Hindus should be torn apart to make a separate nation for Muslims. And thus the Hindus should be stripped off their holy places that could be converted into ruins as mark of victory over Hindus. Because, the unquenchable- rational -thirst could not be satisfied only with ‘Hindukush’. 

The sapient Jinnah wanted humongous humiliation of Hindus to sound rabid rational.

The irrational souls believe in “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”…the rational revolutionaries believe in “Kashir banawon Pakistan, Bataw varaie, Batneiw saan”(We will turn Kashmir into Pakistan alongwith Kashmiri Pandit women, but without their men folk). 

Slew of savant souls could not even bleat when scores of Hindu Pandits were made to vacate their homes in Kashmir. The rational resin rendered their lips powerless to utter even a letter against the pogrom and mass exodus, but today after the CAA, the lips have got a shot of rational vitamin and they are making all the ruckus possible against the CAA.

In order to prove themselves real rationals they forget the searing pain that has been suffered by their own people. Spare some vocal energy for those who for their no mistakes at all were declared ‘minorities’ and ‘fit for oppression’ in a land that was their own before predatory partition. Some time they should show solidarity for Kashmiri Pandits also, who were made to vacate their homes in a freezing January month, just imagine the brutal fate that they had to go through just because of their faith!

Just Imagine their haplessness and helplessness only because they were Hindus!

Get real... people, only then you can get real rational!
