Jo Hawaa Mein Hai - Umashankar Tiwari. काव्यालय| Kaavyaalaya: House of Hindi Poetry

jo havaa men hai, lahar men hai
kyon naheen vah baat
        mujhamen hai?

shaam kandhon par lie apane
zindagee ke roo-b-roo chalanaa
roshanee kaa hamasafar honaa
umr kee kandeel kaa jalanaa
aag jo
        jalate safar men hai
kyon naheen vah baat
        mujhamen hai?

roz sooraj kee tarah uganaa
shikhar par chaḌhanaa, utar jaanaa
ghaaTiyon men rang bhar jaanaa
phir surangon se guzar jaanaa
jo hansee kachchee umar men hai
kyon naheen vah baat
        mujhamen hai?

ek nanheen jaan chiḌiyaa kaa
Daal se uḌakar havaa honaa
saat rangon ke liye duniyaa
vaapasee men neend bhar sonaa
jo khulaa aakaash svar men hai
kyon naheen vah baat
        mujhamen hai?

'too zindaa hai'
Shailendra

too j़indaa hai to j़indagee kee jeet pe yak़een kar
agar kaheen hai svarg to utaar laa j़meen par.

ye subah-o-shaam ke ra(n)ge hue gagan ko choomakar
too sun j़meen gaa rahee hai kab se jhoom-jhoom kar!

too aa meraa singaar kar too aa mujhe haseen kar.

मुझमें ऐसी तरलता हो जैसे कि मुझमें नदी बह रही हो। मेरे तट पर टीलों पर मन्दिर हों और प्रिय-अप्रिय सभी को मैं स्वीकारूँ -- मच्छ मगर घड़ियाल, सभी का रहना मुझमें हो। मेरा बदन काट कर नहरें सभी को पोषण पहुँचाएँ।
