“Bayaan— e— Gham: Jab Alfaaz ban jaye Jazbaat"

 “Bayaan— e— Gham:

Jab Alfaaz ban jaye Jazbaat”

 

(— Ek Zakhmi Rooh ka Marasiya —)

 

Is kavita ke dwara, kavi apni soch ko vyakt kartey huye yeh kehna chahta he ki, zindagi ke safar mein kabhi aise pal aate hain jab alfaaz apni aawaz, apna wazan khote jaate hain aur sirf jazbaat bachi hui yaadon ke saaye ban kar dil ko chhute hain. Yeh kavita dikhati hai ki dard aur tanhaayi kabhi kabhi khamoshi se bhi gehre alfaaz ban jaate hain, jo insaan ke asli ehsaas aur andar ke toofaan ko samne la dete hain.

 

Khaali kitaab hai, aur khaali hai dil aaj phir,

Bejaan qalam, aur be-umang zameer ki taabeer.

Kuch kehna tha magar, alfaaz gaye kho kahin,

Jazbaat ke samandar mein, doobkar so gaye kahin.

 

Dil ke aangan mein tanhayi ka jashn hai,

Sab kuch kho gaya, sirf yaadon ka qasr hai.

Alfaaz badal gaye bane jazbaat ki faryaad,

Be-wajah dard bhi, raat ke daaman mein aabaad.

 

Jab jazbaat dhalen in alfaazoon mein, ek ehsaas jagta hai,

Murda saaye se bhi kabhi, zinda khwab ugta hai.

Dil likhna chahe, par qalam saath deti nahi,

Aankhon ke aansoo se, lab tak baat jaati nahi.

 

Us mod pe chhod aaya zindagi ki muskurahat,

Har lamha udaas, dil mein ghamo ki barsaat.

Sheher ki bheed bhi ab lagti hai khamosh,

Har waqt gham ki goonj, roothi hai dhoop ki rosh.

 

Kuch lamhe the, jaise khushbu hawaaon mein,

Phir waqt ne likh diye daagh duaon mein.

Bikhri si zindagi, khwab bhi rahe na baaqi,

Aansu bane alfaaz, kalam ab rahe na khaali.

 

Kaisa dard chhupa hai, har harf ke parde tale,

Har shabd ke kinare se dhuaan sa uthta chale.

Woh gehra dard, woh khalish, woh tanhaai ka jazba,

Ban jaata hai sirf siyaahi, ek be-sukoon fiza.

 

Dil mein basa hai aaj ek bayaan be-maani,

Na armaan rahe, na koi mehekti kahani.

“Bas yaadon ka bojh hai” kehta hai waqt ka saaya,

Saans bhi ab takrati hai, udaasi ka naya naghma laya.

 

Be-parwah guzar gaya zindagi ka karwaan,

Ashkon mein chhup gaya ek adhoora armaan.

Mat puchho, kyun gehra hai yeh dukh ka dariya,

Le gaye guzishta pal khushiyon ka fasana.

 

Palkein bheeg jaati hain bina barsaat ke,

Khaali kamra, chand aur woh udaasi raat ke.

Aankhon mein tasveer, baaton mein guftagu,

Har jazbaat likhta hoon, is sooni rangat ke rubaru.

 

Jab alfaaz le lete hain jazbaat ka roop,

Zubaan bhi thak jaati hai, kho jaata hai noor.

Dilkash baatein bhi aksar, ho jaati hai ghoom,

Khudki khamoshi main mein, kho jaata hain suroor.

 

Har muskaan ke peeche chhupi hai ek cheekh,

Khushiyon ki bheed mein bhi tanhaayi ki fikr.

Log kehte hain — bas zinda rehna hi kaafi hai,

Par kis se kahe, dil hai behaal aur weak.

 

Yeh jo likh raha hoon main, yeh toh maut hai meri,

Jazbaat zinda hain magar, alfaaz hain be-ghabrani.

Woh hasi, woh gham, woh zindagi ke har lamhe,

Ab hain bas ek kahaani, ek dastaan, ek raaz-e-hasti.

 

Toh yeh kavita nahi, yeh rona hai likha hua,

Woh aah hai jo aati nahi, bas dil mein hai ruka hua.

Alfaaz jazbaat ban gaye, toh jeet nahi, sirf haar hai,

Kyuki ab wohi meri khamoshi ka izhaar hai.

 

“Har sher mein gham ka aksh, dard mein yaadon ki parchayi hai,

Sanson mein ulajhi umeed, ashkon mein chhupi tanhaayi hai.”
