उधार


कैसे जियूँ ये
उधार की ज़िन्दगी
कब तलक

कमबख़्त


उम्र बढ़ती
हसरतें अधूरी
'कमबखत' !

नंगी


क्यों ढकूँ सिर
मन्दिर या मस्जिद
रूह तो नंगी 


This post is dedicated to Geetashree Chatterjee for her ameliorated and refined version of this haiku.
She says:

बिखरे बाल
मन्दिर या मस्जिद
रूह आज़ाद

She has done an awesome job by transforming the vehicle (bailgaadii to Mercedes) without disturbing the passenger inside (the thought!)
I appreciate the fact that her version, in spite of its superiority, doesn’t make the original feel inferior in any way…both of them put together give a feeling as if you are reading Kabir and Eliot on the same pageJ

You make me!

Dear friends,

I am pleased to bring to your knowledge that your beloved “SAFARNAAMAA” has been selected by Indian Top Blogs as one of the Best Hindi Blogs in 2014-15 again.

The credit goes to all of you, my most valued readers, who have contributed to reach it here!

I am especially grateful to my non-Hindi speaking friends who regularly read my Hindi posts and register their admiration, suggestions, enquiries and observations.

What really makes me happy is the fact that I did not have to enter a contest (you know I don’t like competitionsJ), and did not push others back to come to the forefront. I can see many of my friends’ Hindi blogs alongside mine…the delight of sharing means more to me than that of winning!

All of you lovely buddies are requested to continue with your esteemed patronage and support to “SAFARNAAMAA”.

*(at serial no.9)

With love and regards,
Amit

मासूम


जी में ही दबीं
मासूम हसरतें
 हँसती रोती

हाशिये

ज़िन्दगी यूँ ही     
कटती रही बस 
हाशिये पर
