Baarish

Garm khichadi ki bhaap mein pighalta ghee; din ke andhere mein baithak se aati Farida Khanum ki awaaz - aaj jaane ki zid na karo; stand par phaile adh-sookhe kapde; naraz samundar ke sur se sur milati tez lahrein; pahadi se neeche utarti maddham aur thandi hawa; badalon se aankh michauli khelta havai jahaz; table par rakhkhi Mr. God This is Anna, ke hawa mein palatate panne; ek ek inch khisakti gadi aur gadi ke bahar zindagi ka shor; masheeno ki tarah idhar udhar beparvah daudte log; Samundar ke kinare khada paani ki cheento se bheeg jaane ka intezar karta mai aur achanak kisi sajish ki tarah shuru hui baarish; baarish, jo kabhi thamne ka naam nahi leti, jo jeevan ke har ek zarre par apna haq samajhti aur jatati hai; baarish, jo jeevan samapt kar deti hai aur nav nirman karti hai; baarish, jo bepanah aur beparvah hai, jo kabhi muskurati to kabhi ghranit nigahon se dekhti hai; baarish, jiske saath mai rehna seekh raha hoon, yeh kehna seekh raha hoon - mere naye shaher ki nayi baarish aa tujhe aagosh mein le loon bebu ......

baarish,
machalte hue do badlon ki mohabbat ki kavita hai,
ek ehsaas hai,
kisi ke liye asoo,
kisi ke liye mitti ki khushboo hai.....

Thirakte kadmon se badhti hui,
Table ki thaap, jaise kaano mein padi,
Wo halki si thandak ko saath laati hui,
Kampan aur siharan, jaise sardi aa gayi,
Phoolon ki jami dhool hatati hui,
Nisarg ki zimmedari jaise boondon mein simti,
Wo madhosh hawa ko sang bahalati hui,
Zulfon ko chahre pe jaise bikherti hui,
Aayi paoos aayi, madhoshi saath laayi,
Aapki rachna ko jaise samparpit karti hui..

'Garm khichadi ki bhaap mein pighalta ghee', baarish and the entire post gives me goosebumps- nicely done! the previous comment too is awesome, great fan following mr. misra!
I think your hindi writings are much more interesting, though I like the English ones as well but these sort of slow you down and the subtleties and underlying themes linger longer in the head than the English ones...great blog nonetheless
