दूरी को करीब से देखना / doori ko kareeb se dekhna

doori ko kareeb se dekhna
sabse mushkil ahasaas
jaanaleva paristithi banti hai
saari indriyon ko gujarna padta hai …
… pariksha se
aankhe, saamane dekh rahi hoti hain beeta kal
dil, us kal ko vartamaan banane ki ji tod jaddojahad me laga hota hai
dimaag, kaam karana chhod deta hai
vo kare bhi kya usaka aastitva khatre me hai

jo aavaaz sangeet ho
jeevan-rag ho
aur kanon ke ekadam paas
itani
ki aatma se ghulne ko ho
usako chheen liya jaaye
aur rag badal di jaaye

…doori ko kareeb se dekhna
dimaag majaboor ho raha hai
bahara karne ko
jeevan-rag gayi
jeevan sangani gayi
saanse
… bas javab dene ki taiyari me lag gayeen
