A Hundred Quills
"Words.Words.I play with words, hoping that some combination, even a chance combination will say what I want" -Doris Lessing
जो छूट गए…
जो छूट गए
वो पल भर थे
सागर नही
बस लहर ही थे
मंज़िल तो नही
पथिक ही थे
फिर क्षोभ है क्यों
उनके जाने का
क्रोध है क्यों
संसार मे जिसने
जन्म लिया
पृथक ही उसने
जीवन जिया
आते जाते कुछ
हाथ मिले
जो एक मोड़ तक
साथ चले
फिर राह चुनी जो तूने
उनकी राह नही वो थी
जो तेरी थी इच्छा
उनकी चाह नही वो थी
फिर क्षोभ है क्यों
उनके जाने का
क्रोध है क्यों
जो संग जिया
वो खूब जिया
क्यों मांगे आँचल सारा
सौरमंडल की आस में तू
भूल न जा इकलौता तारा
जो साथ अभी है
रात जभी है
वही रहनुमा
सौगात वही है
अब जीने की
आस वही है
तो क्षोभ न कर
तू क्रोध न कर
वो छोड़ गए, अफसोस न कर
जो है वो साथ निभाएगा
समय पूर्ण होने पर वह भी
अपनी अलग राह बनाएगा
लिखा है जितना साथ है जिसका
उतना ही वो निभाएगा
एकल जो तू चला कभी तो
प्रभु सखा बन आएगा
प्रभु सखा बन आएगा!

My first read in the morning…and it turned out to be so motivating, reflecting undulations of life and the courage to accept the things as they are to march ahead in life with acceptance and smile and with frown.
Beautiful one Sonia.

Oops… read my comment and realised the blooper of my buttery fingers.
I meant to say with acceptance and smile and not with drawn.

Sonia you’ve so effectively delineated the sense of loneliness, the raging sentiments, some deprivation, and unfulfilled desires in a subtle manner. All these are unavoidable parts of our lives in one way or the other. The cherry on the top is your message of optimism.
Loved your creation…

Very soothing Sonia. Loved every word of it. I belong to a family where Hindi is treasured. Many family members write hindi poetry and prose too. And needless to say, those writings are beautiful. Today, I felt the same connection in your words. Lo main apni kahani leke baith gayi… beautiful post
