UNAKE KHAYAAL DIL MEIN MEHMAAN BAN KE REHATE HAIN

उनके ख़याल दिल में मेहमान बन के रहते हैं,
क्या क्या सितम हम उनके लिए सुबह ओ शाम सहते हैंI

मैंने तो घर खाली करने का notice भी दे दिया,
“दो रोज़ और रहेंगे” हर बार यही कहते हैंI

सूखी वीरान बस्ती की शिकायत वह करते हैं,
कैसे कहूँ के अश्क़ मेरे ज़ार ज़ार बहते हैं?

दिल के गरीबखाने पे ताला लगा दूँ मैं क्या?
पर उनहे कैसे बेदखल करूँ जो पहले ही से रहते हैं?

मेरे ही घर में मुझको अब पनाह नहीं कबूल,
मेरे ही दिल से मुझको जाने के लिए कहते हैंI

No Room in Heart

Unake khayaal dil mein mehmaan ban ke rehate hain,
Kyaa kyaa sitam hum unake liye subah o shaam sehte hain.

Maine to ghar khaali karne kaa notice bhi de diya,
“Do roz aur rahenge” har baar yahi kehte hain.

Sookhi veeraan basti ki shikaayat woh karte hain,
Kaise kahun ke ashq mere zaar zaar behte hain?

Dil ke gareebkhaane pe taala laga doon main kyaa,
Par unahe kaise bedakhal karun jo pehle hi se rehate hain.

Mere hi ghar mein mujhako ab panaah nahin kabool,
Mere hi dil se mujhako jaane ke liye kehte hain.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
