Todtee Patthar - Suryakant Tripathy 'Nirala'. काव्यालय| Kaavyaalaya: House of Hindi Poetry

vah toD़tee patthar;
dekhaa use mainne ilaahaabaad ke path par—
vah toD़tee patthar.

koee n chhaayaadaar
peD़ vah jisake tale baiThee huee sveekaar;
shyaam tan, bhar ba(n)dhaa yauvan,
nat nayan priy, karm-rat man,
guru hathauD़aa haath,
karatee baar-baar prahaar :—
saamane taru-maalikaa aTTaalikaa, praakaar.

chaDh़ rahee thee dhoop;
garmiyon ke din
divaa kaa tamatamaataa roop;
uThee jhulasaatee huee loo,
ruee jyon jalatee huee bhoo,
gard chinageen chhaa gaeen,
praay: huee dupahar :—
vah toD़tee patthar.

dekhate dekhaa mujhe to ek baar
us bhavan kee or dekhaa, chhinnataar;
dekhakar koee naheen,
dekhaa mujhe us dRShTi se
jo maar khaa roee naheen,
sajaa sahaj sitaar,
sunee mainne vah naheen jo thee sunee jhankaar
ek kShaN ke baad vah kaa(n)pee sughar,
Dhulak maathe se gire seekar,
leen hote karm men phir jyon kahaa—
‘main toD़tee patthar.’

prem kavitaa, kahaaniyaa(n) aur ph़ilmen
jahaa(n) tak le jaa sakatee hain
main gayaa hoo(n) usake paar
kaee baar.
ik ajeeb-see bechainee hotee hai vahaa(n)
jee karataa hai thaam loo(n) koee cheej
koee haath, koee sahaaraa.
main Tik naheen paataa vahaa(n) der tak.

'Swatantrataa Kaa Deepak'
Gopalsingh Nepali

ghor andhakaar ho, chal rahee bayaar ho,
aaj dvaar dvaar par yah diyaa bujhe naheen.
yah nisheeth kaa diyaa laa rahaa vihaan hai.

shakti kaa diyaa huaa, shakti ko diyaa huaa,
bhakti se diyaa huaa, yah svatantrataadiyaa,
ruk rahee n naav ho, zor kaa bahaav ho,
aaj gangadhaar par yah diyaa bujhe naheen!
yah svadesh kaa diyaa praaN ke samaan hai!

'Yuddh Kee Vibheeshikaa'
Gajendra Singh

yuddh agar anivaary hai socho samaraangaN kaa kyaa hogaa?
aise hee chalataa rahaa samar to naee phasal kaa kyaa hogaa?

har or dhue(n) ke baadal hain, har or aag ye phailee hai.
bachapan kee aa(n)khen bhayaakraant, khaNDahar ghar, dharatee mailee hai.
chhaayaa nabh men kaalaa patajhaḌ, kho gayaa kahaa(n) neelaa manjar?
jharanon kaa gaanaa thaa kal tak, par aaj maut kee railee hai.

kilakaaree bharate ..
