स्थिति का मौन

     अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता, 

 मांगता अब कौन है! 

    कर सकें,  जो व्यक्त हैं, 

भाव वह कौन है? 

 चैतन्य न थे, 

    समय पर,     

इसका हमको बोध है। 

      

किंतु क्या! तुम को? 

   स्वयम के किये पर खेद है? 

क्या परिधि है, 

 है प्रणय की, 

       सोचता अब कौन है! 

     असंख्य  प्रज्जवलित दीप में, 

          बुझ गया कब

कौन है। 

      बुझ गयी नीरान्जन

         ह्रदय की, 

अब तो सिर्फ

मौन है। 🙏

Ab kyu boli

मनु ने रचना शुरू किया

      अब क्यो! बोली? 

        चुप बैठ गई थी, 

तो क्यो उठ रही

ये किसकी भाषा, 

किसकी बोली? 

   🐷🐷🐷तो दबा ढेर में

आग दिये थे! 

 राख में कँहा छुपी थी

ये तेरी आँखों से

ध ध की, ये जो 

अभी अभी ज्वाला सी होली? 

   कुछ दिन चुप रह जाती, 

  कुछ और सह जाती

   अपने मन की क्यो बोली? 

    सब कुछ तो है? 

  क्या क्यो सोची समझी

 तू ने बतलाया था

मै तो सब भूली, 

  भ्रम में डाल जब

मस्ती तोड़ हमारी

  क्यो ये नई

चादर मन की खोली। 

  समय सदा ही मेरा ही था। 

   निर्णय भी मेरा था

 मेरे मन की

कोई नहीं

बोले तो अब में बोली।
