Aaj Phir

Ek arsey ke baad, aaj phir-
dhundhlaati yaadon ki behki si shaam
patjhad ki lambi parchhaaiyan
thakaa haaraa, yaadon ka kaafila belagaam

apne kadmon taley kuredkar zameen
chhod aayaa zakhmon ki lambi lakeer;
ab gehraati syaahi mein daalaa hai deraa
pairon mein chhaaley, haalate-fakir

dheere dheere baith-ta,dhool ka baadal
chhup rahaa sard kohre ki chaadar lapeyt
khamoshi ki aagosh mein paane sukoon
khwaabon ki paalki saji taare sameyt

guzre huye kal se, aane waale kal tak
darmiyaan hai bas raat ki mehfil tanhaa
shabnam ki boond par jhilmilaati chaandni-
ek nayi ummeed ka chaand, baadal se jhaanktaa

    “khamoshi ki aagosh mein paane sukoon

    Bahoot khoosurat alphajo ke jal per aaj ke haalaton ka bayan……..
    bahut hi khoobsoorat kavita hai…………

    nice poem…and nice use of words…though my hindi is a little bit weak…but it was great way to express the feelings

    Wow! Madam’’s back! And how! Okay, okay.. keeping up the recent spell of Hindi on your space, perhaps I should put forth all of that in rashtra bhaasha? So here goes…. “Memsahib vaapas aayee! Aur kaise aayee! Wah!” :-)

    aaj phir teri zameen pe roshnayi hai, tere haseen andaaz se bhari, kuch khushnuma kuch ghamgeen, fasaane teri ye nazm utha layi hai
