chitkul se guftagu

Chitkul ek sarhadi gaon
Chitkul kitne sadiyoon se,
In barfili paharoon ke beech
neeley asmaan ke tale
na jane kab se kadhi ho.

bapsa nadi ekhlati and balkhati
uchaiyoon se tumhare paas aati
khamoosi se karvat lehti ,
tumhare is sarhadi,
chote se gaon mein
apne geet bikherti hain,
phir ruk jati hain.

kuch pathar saat bey teh bey teh
thak kar nadi ke kinarey rukh jate
ek thake musafir ke mannind
apne hi ek dastaan batatey hain.


mein bhi aisay ek pattar pe ja bethi ,
tumhari saaf pani ko dekhti rahi,
aisa laga jaise pani nahi
meri zindagi behti chali jah rahi ho.
pareshan jhoojhti zindagi
na janey kitne marhaloon se,
kabhi thaki, kabhi haree.

tumari is bapsa nadi ke kinare
kuch bachey apne bachpan mein khoye,
lafz ke pehchaan kar rahe the,
kya meine zindagi ko pehchana?
Is zindagi meyn kya khoya, kya paya,?
kinnar kailash ki parikrama ke baad
bhi kyun mujhe nahi samjh aya.
Kya charang ke un rastoon mein
Chupa koi sakhyamuni ka gyaan hain?

Chitkul tumhari gheri khaeeyoon mein,
kya un tibeti logon ke cheekhe chupi hain?
Joh apne hi watan se bey ghar hain.
kaise tumari yeh khamooshi hai
jo sunti toh hai unki dard ki dastaan
par kuch na kehti,sirf deekhti rahti hai.

Tumhare fizaoon mein afsaney chupe hain,
Phir kyun asmaan khamoosh hai?
Yeh sard hawaiye chup kyun hain?
Kyun tum sadiyoon se chup ho?
Akhiir yeh kaisa sannata hain?
Akhiir yeh kaise khamoshi hain?
