क्या आज भी मेरे आँगन में
वो ठंडी हवाएं चलती हैं ?
इक नेह की बदली छाती है
रिश्तों की बेलें उगती हैं?
होती थी सुकून की यूँ बारिश,
सपनों की कलियाँ खिलती थीं।
दिल सराबोर हो जाता था ,
लहरों पे लहरें उठती थीं।
वो ठंडी हवाएं चलती हैं ?
इक नेह की बदली छाती है
रिश्तों की बेलें उगती हैं?
होती थी सुकून की यूँ बारिश,
सपनों की कलियाँ खिलती थीं।
दिल सराबोर हो जाता था ,
लहरों पे लहरें उठती थीं।
सादा था पर सच्चाई थी,
हर रिश्ते में गहराई थी।
संतुष्टि की उस हरीतिमा पर ,
खुशियों की अरुणाई थी।
हर रिश्ते में गहराई थी।
संतुष्टि की उस हरीतिमा पर ,
खुशियों की अरुणाई थी।
नहीं धूप कहीं तीखी चुभती ,
बस ठंडी मीठी छाया थी।
वहां पर देवों का साया था,
या आँगन की ही गरिमां थी।
क्या अब भी वहां पर वैसे ही
सपनों के गुलशन खिलते हैं?
उन्मुक्त हंसी ,चंचल बचपन,
के जैसे मोती मिलते हैं?
हाँ नहीं वो घर न वो आँगन ,
पर ज़मीं वहां की आज भी है।
उस ज़मीं की स्नेहिल गोदी में,
मेरा विश्वास आज भी है।
शायद अब भी उस आँगन में,
वो ठंडी हवाएं चलती हैं।
दिल बाग़ बाग़ हो जाता है,
जब यादें करवट लेती हैं।

ReplyDeleteFirst of all I am sorry to be posting what may be a random garbage to you like an intruder. But please go through this and help us.

This is a rather tragic story of some helpless employees working in C-DAC, Trivandrum a government of India organisation under DeiTY. Please help us by spreading or posting some advice. Please do not see this as abogus post or the one intended for 'hits'. Please spread.
I will try.
