फिर वही रात है
कुछ धुंधला-धुंधला सा याद है
ठीक एक साल पहले भी
कुछ ऐसा ही समां था
तब भी लोग खुशियाँ मना रहे थे
आज भी मना रहे हैं
मैं भी उन्ही में शुमार था
सबको ऐसा ही लगा था
पर उस शोर-ओ-गुल से दूर
मेरे ही जेहन में
एक डरा सहमा सा मैं ही था
किसी को दिखाई न पड़ता हुआ
खुद मुझे भी नहीं
बस एक एहसास था
की कोई और भी है मुझमें
जो ग़मगीन है
इस फिक्र में कि
वह कल जो कल आज बन जाएगा
ना जाने कैसा हो
फिर कुछ यूँ ख्याल आया
वह जैसा भी हो
उसका ग़म करने से अच्छा है
कुछ खुशियाँ बांटी जाएँ
और झूठी ही सही
खुशियाँ मनाने में
तो कोई हर्ज़ नहीं?
कुछ भी हो सकता है
आने वाले साल में
आगे क्या होगा किसको पता
ग़म मिले या ख़ुशी
आंसूं मिले या हंसी
हर लम्हा है लापता
फिर भी एक खुशनुमा उम्मीद रखने में
तो कोई हर्ज़ नहीं?
कि सब अच्छा ही होगा
उस आने वाले कल में
देखेंगे
किस करवट बैठेगा
किस्मत का ये ऊँट
कितने सच सुनने को मिलेंगे
और ना जाने कितने झूठ
फिर भी
सिर्फ सच सुनने कि आस रखने में
तो कोई हर्ज़ नहीं?
गए बरस
कई तरह के लोग मिले
अच्छे भी बुरे भी
कुछ ने हँसाया
तो कुछ ने दिए आँसू भी
आने वाले कल में फिर
दोनों किस्म के इंसान होंगे
कुछ इस ज़िन्दगी के सफ़र में
एक नयी, सुनहरी सुबह का आगाज़ करेंगे
तो कुछ
काली स्याह रात का कारण बनेंगे
कुछ दिल को छूते हुए
ज़िन्दगी का हिस्सा बन जायेंगे
और कुछ
एक बुरे ख्वाब की तरह
दर्द से मुलाक़ात मुक़र्रर करेंगे
पर दर्द से रिश्ते के डर से
दिलकश जनों को नज़र-अंदाज़ न करेंगे
खोटे लोगों के खौफ़ में भी
कुछ खरी रूहों का अरमान करने में
तो कोई हर्ज़ नहीं?
फिर भी फ़ितरत से मजबूर मैं
बस ग़म की गलियों को ही
रहगुज़र समझ बैठता हूँ
और भूल जाता हूँ कि
आप जैसे लोगों की
दुआओं से भी ठीक न हो सके ऐसा
तो कोई मर्ज़ नहीं!
PS: This post is primarily written for @nimue_ who wanted to see a mail in her mailbox with subject “new post by kartikulations” 😀 You maintained your record Madame! dukhi kar diya iss ‘aalsi’ ko bhi aapne… 😛
And these lines are my way of conveying my thanks to those tweeples whom I loved and interacted in 2011.
Dear @_abhishk, @coolfunnytshirt, @dpacino, @GayatriiM, @Inglorious_engg, @singh_dr, @p1j, @rohwit, @twitballiye, @romeomustdie! You guys were awesome and a real cause of my improvement at various fronts. Stay awesome and stay in touch.
And @aseemrastogi2, @TheAngrezJailor, @fzlsammy, @JinnyBoi, @NabeelN, @LadySpeakss, @Scotchaholic, @stwta, @Shakti_Shetty, @12_Bore! Meeting/talking to you guys was one of the best things to happen last year. Hope this year the generosity continues 🙂
The reason I love technology is because no matter in which part of the world you are, I never felt away from you guys. @TheMasakkali, @nimue_, @AbidiRuby, @moonsmoods, @shezyyee, @funjabi_gabru, @iBeingMe! The late night con call sessions made 2011 a special one for me in a completely different sense. So what, if I have always been the soft target in those calls, even that cannot diminish the love for those conversations 🙂 Thank You for the special(???) treatment 😛
