Jab Neend Naheen Aatee Hogee

kyaa tum bhee sudhi se thake praaN le-lekar akulaatee hogee!
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!
dinabhar ke kaary-bhaar se thak jaataa hogaa joohee-saa tan,
shram se kumhalaa jaataa hogaa mRdu kokaabelee-saa aanan.
lekar tan-man kee shraanti paḌee hogee jab shayyaa par chanchal,
kis marm-vedanaa se krandan karataa hogaa prati rom vikal
aa(n)khon ke ambar se dheere-se os Dhulak jaatee hogee!
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!
jaise ghar men deepak n jale le vaisaa andhakaar tan men,
amaraaee men bole n pikee le vaisaa soonaapan man men,
saathee kee Doob rahee naukaa jo khaḌaa dekhataa ho taT par -
usakee-see liye vivashataa tum rah-rah jalatee hogee kaatar.
tum jaag rahee hogee par jaise duniyaa so jaatee hogee!
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!
ho chhalak uThee nirjan men kaalee raat avash jyon anajaane,
chhaayaa hogaa vaisaa hee bhayakaaree ujaḌaapan sirahaane,
jeevan kaa sapanaa TooT gayaa - chhooTaa aramaanon kaa sahachar,
ab sheSh naheen hogee praaNon kee kShubdh rulaaee jeevan bhar!
kyon soch yahee tum chintaakul apane se bhay khaatee hogee?
                       jab neend naheen aatee hogee!

'Chhaataa'
Prem Ranjan Animesh

jinake sir Dha(n)kane ke lie
chhaten hotee hain
vahee rakhate hain chhaate

har baar sochataa hoo(n)
ek chhat kaa jugaaḌ karu(n)gaa
aur loo(n)gaa ek chhaataa

is shahar ke logon ke paas
jo chhaataa hai
usamen

isalie
sochataa hoo(n)
main loo(n)gaa

ki jisamen sab aa jaayen

aur baahar khaḌaa bheegataa rahe
bas meraa akelaapan

barasaat men kaam aate hain
aur akasar
chhooT jaate hain !
