मेरा, मेरा.. मेरा !


ये सब मेरा है, ये सिर्फ़ मेरा
इसमें से कुछ नहीं दूँगा मैं
और  ये  तो   है  ही   मेरा ..

बटोरता हूँ सब जल्दी-जल्दी
इक लम्बे सफ़र की है तैयारी

आना मेरे दोस्तों, भाईयों सभी
माफ़ करके पुरानी  कहीसुनी
शानदार    विदाई    में    मेरी

देखना नए-नकोर कपड़े  मेरे
सिलवाया है एक क़फ़न मैंने
कई   सारी   जेबों   वाला … !

  1. Aah...this is good, Amit! Very good. The futility of this rush to accumulate and possess....

  2. तौबा, कफन में भी जेब सिलवा ली :)
    आयें थे खाली हाथ
    जाओगे भी खाली हाथ
    फिर क्यों हो रहा हैं
    लूट जाने का अहसास।

  4. Very well composed Amit ji,but next time a happy lyric?

    Batorte batorte pahunch gaye vahan,
    Khali haath jana tha jahan.

  8. I, me, myself , will hoard till the grave. So true Amitji.. where is the time to pause and think of the utility or futility?

  9. "aham" is not an easy thing to let go...it remains with us...till we meet the ashes... very profound words, Amitji...

  10. Experiences of life...some are worth pocketing and some are too much to retain in pocket....yet it is we who are ultimately accountable and answerable for what we carry along, our past, present, bags and baggages and most of all our own selves...and our journey is towards this realization...a journey which all of us are preparing and heading for....

    Your poem has several interpretations...this is just one of them....it is quite futile to ask the poet...and wiser for readers to enjoy their own discretion in understanding
