Maazi

Maazi ne ek phoonk maari,
to zindagi ki dairy se jaane kitne fasaane
sukhe gulab ki tarah bikhar gaye.
dil ke tadakhne ki awaaz aayee aur
manzar toot kar aankh me chubh gaya...
surkh se ashk aankh se dhuan ban kar nikalne lage...
aankhon ne jo dekha use dil ne thukra diya....
haathon me haath tha ..
magar kisi aur ka saath tha...
nazaren haya se jhuki thi ya sharmsaar pata nahi...
shaayad abhi bhi dil ko kone me chipi ulfat ka takaza tha...
ikraar ne inkaar ka naqab odh rakhta tha ya
yeh sirf meri khush-fehami thi..
pata nahi jo bhi tha ab yeh aalam hai ki -
"us raat main do baje tak piya...."...
.....
..
lekin subhah koi aur nahi aayee...

Shaam chugali kar rahi hai,
Raat se sautan ki tarah jhagad rahi hai,
Subah alhada si, akeli baithi hai,
Dopahar to vaise bhi mujhse khafa hai,
Kis kis ka saath doon,
Kahan se nikalun vakt
24 ghante kam padte hain...

Karyeshu Dasi, Karaneshu Manthri; Bhojeshu Mata, Shayaneshu Rambha; Roopeshu lakshmi, Kshamayeshu Dharitri; Satkarma Nari, Kuladharma Patni......(Translation - Works like a servant, Advises like a minister, Feeds like a mother, makes love like a nymph, is as beautiful as Lakshmi, and forgiving like the earth.)
Happy Woman's day!!
