Main Sochtaa Tha .....

Main Sochtaa tha ..... 
Meray kamray mein itni ghutan see kyon hai 
Aakhir meri aankhon mein itni jalan see kyon hai 
is ghar kee chaar-deevaari mein sabhi kuchh to hai 
Par phir bhee meray man mein ik chubhan see kyon hai

Phir achaanak ik khyaal aaya 
aur mainne uth kay dekha 
ki meray ghar ki sub khidkiyaan -
                                     Sub darvaajay thay band 
khidkiyon kay sheeshon mein say 
baahar jo dikhtaa thaa 
Vo achchhaa nahin lagtaa thaa
      kyonki un sheeshon par chadhay thay rang 
Aur un rangeen sheeshon mein say 
jab main baahar dekhta thaa 
             to sub dhundhlaa sa lagtaa thaa 
kuchh bhee saaf nahin dikhtaa thaa 
kuchh bhee achchhaa nahin lagtaa thaa
is liye mainay -
baahar nikalnaa hee chhod diyaa
duniya kya hai - kaisee hai 
          ye deknaa bhee chhod diyaa

Main ghar kee chaar-deevaaree mein hee
                                              qaid ho kay reh gayaa
Bus main, aur meraa ghar achchha hai -
Aham kee is bhaavnaa mein bandh kay reh gayaa 
Sankeeranta kee oonchi neechi lehron par itaraataa huaa -
Manzil say bahut door kaheen - 
                                         anjaanay mein beh gayaa 
lekin ek din -
achaanak -
   Meray kaanon mein ek aavaaz aayi
Man kay daravaajay par 
jaisay svayam Prabhu nay dastak dee - 
       aur ye baat samajhaayi 
ki sub kuchh - aur sabhi ko -
hameshaa in rangeen sheeshon mein say mat dekho 
Duniya itni buri nahin hai 
                Ghar say baahar zaraa nikal kar dekho

Pehlay to main sehmaa - kuchh daraa 
lekin phir himmat kar kay ik khidkee ko kholaa
phir dartay dartay aahistaa say darvaajaa kholaa 
Achaanak taazi havaa kaa ik jhonkaa andar aayaa
aur mera haath pakad kay mujhay baahar kheech laaya

Baahar nikal kay dekhaa - to ye pataa chalaa
ki main samajhtaa thaa jaisi -
                   Duniya vaisee hai nahin 
har taraf hee vair virodh aur nafarat ho 
          Baat asal mein aisee hai nahin 
Haan - 
kaheen kaheen nafarat kay sholay uthtay rehtay hain 
Mazahab kay chand netaa - 
                          apnay swaarth kee khaatir 
Bholay bhaalay logon ko behkaanay kee khaatir 
Aqsar apnee taqreeron mein zehar ugaltay rehtay hain 
Sun kay jinko logon kay vichaar badaltay rehtay hain 
lekin phir bhee -
Har banday kay dil mein vair nahin hai
dengay prem - to prem milegaa 
      Sub apnay hain - koyi gair nahin hai
Tab say mainay apnay ghar kee 
Sub khidkiyaan - 
            Sub darvaajay khol diye 
Sheeshon par jo rang chadhay thay 
Vo saaray rang utaaray - Parday khol diye 
Taazee hawaa kay aanay say
Ab ghar kay andar ghutan nahin hai 
Rang nahin hai sheeshon par 
to aankhon mein bhee jalan nahin hai 
Andar baahar sub achchha hai 
Man mein ab koyi chubhan nahin hai 

Aur aaj samajh mein aayaa hai - 
Jeevan kaa bhaid ye paayaa hai - 
ki khulay aasmaan see jab ho jaati hai Drishti !
'Rajan' sundar ho jaatee hai saaree Srishti !!
                       'Rajan Sachdeva'
