Aaj aankh khuli
Ek bure khwaab ke dastak par
Sehem sa gaya tha main
Sochne laga
Najaane kya kahaani pal rahi thi
Zehen mein
Jiska ant itna bhayaanak tha
Suna hai bhor se pehle ke sapne
Yaad nahi raha karte
Shaayad ye sapna ussi
Raat ke sapnon se hi upja hai
Shukr hai aakhri tha, khatm hua
Zindagi jab bhi koi
Chot diya karti hai
Sehem sa jaata hoon main
Hisaab lagaane lagta hoon
Najaane kya kiya tha maine
Jiska parinaam aisa aaya hai
Suna hai pichhle janm ki baatein
Yaad nahi raha karti
Shaayad ye chot bhi unhi
Janmon ke karmon se hi upji hai
Shaayad... ye bhi aakhri ho...
Shaayad... 'raat ye bhi guzar jaayegi'
PS: As I write this, I am reminded of a couplet by Gulzar, "Jisse khoon nikle wo zakhm lagti hai, Warna har chot nazm lagti hai" :)
very deep...how smoothly you have expressed....

i too wonder this....par kuch logon ko chot baar baar lagati hai....shayad pichle janm mein bauhat bure the wo....and dey become used to it....
I agree..raat ye bhi guzar jayegi
ReplyDeleteYes, raat yeh bhi guzar jayegi. Nothing lasts forever....
ReplyDeletePichchle Janam ki yadein aa sakti hain sapnon main ;) (I have been getting the same type of dreams, which makes me believe I was a kind of spy/detective in my earlier life ;P)
ReplyDeleteAnd Karma se koi nahin bach paaya hai :)
Sahi farmaya waise, patience and positive thinking se yeh raat bhi guzar jayegi!
divesh...lot of karmic play here...interesting ideas expressed well...karma guides our actions and we guide our karma, its a circle, cirle of life and it continues...
ReplyDeleteandb/w the couplet by gulzar was an awesome pick.
ye raat bhi guzar jaayegi. Nightmares make the good dreams more interesting :)
ReplyDelete@all
ReplyDelete:)... don't have much to say.
Reminds me much more of the 'Subah-subah ik khwaab ki dastak par darwaza khola' nazm by Gulzar :)
ReplyDeleteNot the intent, but the style of writing.
