Mere zehan mein
Aksar
ek bachcha aur ek vayask
der tak lada karte hain..
Aur, aisi ladaaiyon ke dauraan,
mere zehan-o-dil ko zakhmi hota dekh,
Vayask,
jo apne aap ko mera hitaishi samajhta hai,
(aur sach hi to samjhta hai),
garazne lagtaa hai
Bachche ki saalon-saal badhti manmaaniyon par.
Aur, karta hai udghoshnaa
-soojhaata hai nit taaze zakhmo se bachne ka upaay-
-sunaata hai nirnay-
"antar mein bachpan ke liye ab jagah nahii"
Aur, har baar,
sochne lagta hoon main,
ke, haan,
zehan-o-dil ke in zakhmon ka kaaran
ye bachpana
ye naadaaniyaan
ye manmaaniyan hi to hain.
Un chhano me, lekin,
ik aawaaz,
antarantar se aati hai
ke, jaao,
tijori mein rakho apna dil..
kal ka taaboot tumne aaj hi khareed liya.

:) .. har insaan ke zehen mein aise hi khayaal hain, shaayad.
btw, kya mast mix kiya hai hindi aur urdu ko..
Liked the use of language- sudden changes yet all fitted well...
Still wondering about the ending...could the tijori be a taboot...
so true, and i Love the ending, as well as the awesome fluid use of language. The more the better. I am personally so not purist about using one language or style etc for a creation, because language is a tool to communicate - should not lose dil ki actual awaaz in translation.
Good to have you back.. Lovely poem, urdu aur hindi sath me ache lag rahe hain.. and love the ending.. write more often :)
Written in English script too! (Or Roman)
Language ends childhood.
5 comments, all talk about languages.. phir se saara ilzaam mujh par hi aane waala hai, hai na? :D

Hindi Urdu alag alag hai kya? :P
[Siyaah]
Couldn't find another word for Vayask (any suggestion?).
At other places though, I didn't even want another word..
[Phoenix, Taps]
I guess our mother tongue is this mix only, isn't it?
Glad you liked the piece.. :)
