A Hundred Quills
"Words.Words.I play with words, hoping that some combination, even a chance combination will say what I want" -Doris Lessing
क्यों दंभ हूँ मैं?
मैं तो एक कण हूँ
विशाल समय का एक क्षण हूँ,
धरातल पर बहता सा
एक भ्रम हूँ,
शायद मैं छल हूँ,
बस आज हूँ
नही कल हूँ मैं।
मैं अथाह सागर
की सिर्फ
एक बूंद हूँ,
रत्ती भर हूँ
रेत मे,
मिट्टी नही
धूल हूँ,
पर्वत की चट्टान नही
ज़र्रे सी लुप्त हूँ,
ब्रह्माण्ड मे उल्का सी
भस्म हूँ
फिर भी क्यों दंभ हूँ मैं,
नश्वर हूँ
पर घमंड हूँ मैं।
क्यों
सर्दियों की ठंड मे
सिहरता हुआ
झीना सा अहंकार हूँ?
कुदरत को देखो
तो अल्प हूँ मैं
न्यून सा कोई विकल्प हूँ मैं।
फिर भी क्यों दंभ हूँ मैं
नश्वर हूँ
पर घमंड हूँ मैं।
