thokar khaakar hamane
jaise hee yantr ko uthaaya,
mastak mein shoon-shoon kee dhvani huee
kuchh gharagharaaya.
jhatake se garadan ghumaee,
patnee ko dekha
ab yantr se
patnee kee aavaaz aaee-
main to bhar paee!
sadak par chalane tak ka
tareeqa nahin aata,
koee bhee mainar
ya saleeqa nahin aata.
beevee saath hai
yah tak bhool jaate hain,
aur bhikhamange nadeedon kee tarah
cheezen uthaate hain.
….inase
inase to
vo poona vaala
injeeniyar hee theek tha,
jeep mein bitha ke mujhe shoping karaata
is tarah raah chalate
thokar to na khaata.
hamane socha-
yantr khataranaak hai!
aur ye bhee ek ittefaaq hai
ki hamako mila hai,
aur milate hee
poona vaala gul khila hai.
aur bhee dekhate hain
kya-kya gul khilate hain?
ab zara yaar-doston se milate hain.
to hamane ek dost ka
daravaaza khatakhataaya
dvaar khola, nikala, muskuraaya,
dimaag mein hone lagee aahat
kuchh shoon-shoon
kuchh gharagharaahat.
yantr se aavaaz aaee-
akela hee aaya hai,
apanee chhappanachhuree,
gulabadan ko
nahin laaya hai.
prakat mein bola-
oho!
kameez to badee fainsee hai!
aur sab theek hai?
matalab, bhaabheejee kaisee hain?
hamane kaha-
bha…bhee….jee
ya chhappanachhuree gulabadan?
vo bola-
hosh kee dava karo shreeman
kya ant-shant bakate ho,
bhaabheejee ke lie
kaise-kaise shabdon ka
prayog karate ho?
hamane socha-
kaisa nat raha hai,
apanee sochee huee baaton se hee
hat raha hai.
so faisala kiya-
ab se bas sun liya karenge,
koee bhee achchhee ya buree
pratikriya nahin karenge.
lekin anubhav hue nae-nae
ek aadarshavaadee dost ke ghar gae.
svayan nahin nikale
ve aaeen,
haath jodakar muskuraeen-
mastak mein bhayankar peeda thee
abhee-abhee soe hain.
yantr ne bataaya-
bilkul nahin soe hain
na kaheen peeda ho rahee hai,
kuchh anany mitron ke saath
dyoot-kreeda ho rahee hai.
agale din kolij mein
bee.a. final kee klaas mein
ek ladakee baithee thee
khidakee ke paas mein.
lag raha tha
hamaara laikchar nahin sun rahee hai
apane man mein
kuchh aur-hee-aur
gun rahee hai.
to yantr ko on kar
hamane jo dekha,
khinch gaee hrday par
harsh kee rekha.
yantr se aavaaz aaee-
sarajee yon to bahut achchhe hain,
lambe aur hote to
kitane smaart hote!
ek sahapaathee
jo kopee par usaka
chitr bana raha tha,
man-hee-man usake saath
pikanik mana raha tha.
hamane socha-
fraayad ne saaree baaten
theek hee kahee hain,
ki insaan kee khopadee mein
saiks ke alaava kuchh nahin hai.
kuchh baaten to
itanee ghinaunee hain,
jinhen batalaane mein
bhaashaen baunee hain.
ek baar hotal mein
beyara paanch rupaye bees paise
vaapas laaya
paanch ka not hamane uthaaya,
bees paise tip mein daale
yantr se aavaaz aaee-
chale aate hain
manahoos, kanjad kaheen ke saale,
tip mein poore aath aane bhee nahin daale.
hamane socha- ganeemat hai
kuchh mahaavisheshan aur nahin nikaale.
khair saahab!
is yantr ne bade-bade gul khilae hain
kabhee zahar to kabhee
amrt ke ghoont pilae hain.
– vah jo lipastik aur paudar mein
putee huee ladakee hai
hamen maaloom hai
usake ghar mein kitanee kadakee hai!
– aur vah jo panavaadee hai
yantr ne bata diya
ki hamaare paan mein
usakee beevee kee jhoothee supaaree hai.
ek din kavisammelan manch par bhee
apana yantr lae the
hamen sab pata tha
kaun-kaun kavi
kya-kya karake aae the.
oopar se vaah-vaah
dil mein karaah
agala hoot ho jae pooree chaah.
dimaagon mein aalochanaon ka izaafa tha,
kuchh ke siron mein sirph
sanyojak ka lifaafa tha.
khair saahab,
is yantr se har tarah ka bhram gaya
aur mere kaavy-paath ke dauraan
kaee kavi mitr
ek saath soch rahe the-
are ye to jam gaya!
