आज हिंदी दिवस पर यह कविता मैंने अपने पिता जी की याद में लिखी है जिन्हे मैंने इसी वर्ष अप्रैल मैं खोया है। हालाँकि उनका देहांत ४ मई को हुआ परन्तु मैंने उन्हें आखिरी बार अप्रैल में ही देखा था जिसके उपरांत मैं खुद अस्पताल में भर्ती हो गयी थी। आज यह कविता लिखने का प्रमुख कारण यह है की आज से ठीक चार महीने पहले यानि १४ मई को ही मुझे अपने पिता जी के देहांत की खबर मिली थी। आज की तारीख़ को ही जिस सच्चाई का एहसास होते हुए भी मेरा दिल मानना नहीं चाह रहा था वह मेरे सामने आयी थी।
मुझे तू याद हैं ...
मुझको याद है, तेरा प्यार से बेटा बुलाना,
तू ठीक है ? यह पूछ चिंता को जाताना,
मुझपे गर्व है, यह बार बार, तेरा दोहराना,
आगे बढ़ती रहे, पढ़ती रहे, यह कहते जाना।
तेरा यूँ इर्द गिर्द मेरे, दुनिया अपनी बसाना,
मेरा एक अश्रु देख, दुनिया से, यूँ टकराना,
थोड़ा कहने भर से, बातों को यूँ , मान जाना,
विदा करके भी, मेरी चिंता, तुझे हर पल सताना।
मुझे मैं याद हूँ ...
तू है नहीं, कैसी सोच है?, यह सोच मेरा सो न पाना
तुझको देखने की ज़िद में, मेरा यूँ झुंझलाना
खुद की बढ़ी मुसीबतो में, डूब जाना,
मुझको याद है, मेरा ' मैं ' के लिए यूँ तिलमिलाना।
मुझको याद है वो पल, मेरा बेचैन होना,
जिस पल तेरा, मुझे छोड़, दुनिया से चला जाना,
मुझको याद है, सच बोलने से, सबका यूँ मुकर जाना,
एहसास होने पर भी, सच को मेरा, यूँ देख न पाना।
मुझे तू याद है ...
मुझे देके तोफहा, जिंदगी का यूँ चले जाना,
एहसास बन, फिर साथ मेरा यूँ निभा जाना,
खुद को खो के, मुझको खींच के यूँ वापिस ले आना,
मीठी याद बनके दिल में मेरे यूँ समां जाना।

Hugs, Neha. There is nothing more heart wrenching than losing a parent. There is no one in this world who can care for us the way they do. Their love is irreplaceable. Time somehow never heals some wounds....lots of love
ReplyDeleteA heart wrenching poem Neha. Your pain and helplessness is so evident in these words. God give you strength to bear the loss. I'm sure your father is blessing you from heaven as well. Much love!
ReplyDeleteNo words can describe your pain and love hidden behind the words. Every girl's first love, a father is someone who can never be replaced. Hugs for you.
ReplyDeleteNeha, can feel you...extremely sorry for your loss! Your love for him is evident throughout, so heartfelt and touching it is

ReplyDeleteFathers are so special and encouraging.
They will always stay alive as a part of us.
You are right that he gifted you life again.
Always remember that he is your guardian angel.
Keep smiling & stay strong.
Neha, each stanza moved me; had a tear rolling when I reached the end. The vaccum will always be there, hugs to you dear.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words...the presence of a parent, sibling or friend in one's life is so important. The unconditional love showered by them is the reason to live. Losing them leaves a huge gap in the heart...
ReplyDeleteFather's love is irreplaceable. Their unconditional love help us grow and shine. And when we lose them a void remains.
