अम्मा

साँसों में जों घुटता था कोई खुल के साँसें कहीं लेता तो होगा न
कष्टों में जों घिरा था कोई अब सुख की छाँव तो सोता होगा न
उन निरीह आँखों में जों सपने थे अब पूर्ण कोई तो करता होगा न
मन की बातें जों समझ न पाए बिन बोले कोई समझता तो होगा न
अंत यहाँ पे हुआ था जिनका आदि कहीं तो होगा न
मरण उपरांत जीवन है ,का कहीं सत्य उजागर तो होगा न
उसी सत्य स्वरुप को दर्शाने फिर इस धरा पर आओ न
फिर पुष्प बनकर तुम बगिया में वही सुगंध बिखराओ न
या धरती पर किरणें बनकर तुम उजियारा फैलाओ न
चमकती धूप की किरणों सा तुम अपना आँचल फैलाओ न
आँचल में छिपकर सो जाएँ ऐसा कोई गीत तो गाओ न
वस्त्रों में समाहित सुगंध सी उन्मुक्त पवन बन जाओ न
यथार्थ में न भी आओ तो स्वप्न में ही आ जाओ न
सुधा सरल सी नन्ही मोहिनी मूरत ही दिखला जाओ न

  1. I read this once, and kept reading it over and over again. Was trying to understand your feelings when you wrote it. I can't make out what exactly were you going through. But whatever it was, it has resulted in one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read. More so because I can relate to it very well. You should be proud of being daughter of such a wonderful lady, and if only I could get just 10% of her qualities, I would become a really good human being. I salute the fighting spirit which she showed in her last days. It was only due to that spirit that she was with us physically for some more days than any other person would have had. I can feel her presence around me, and whenever I think of quitting, I just remember my favourite mausi and then the thought of quitting vanishes. It really is an honour for me to be related to a persona like hers. She has always been and will always remain for me - the eternal source of inspiration. She is with me, with you, with all of us, and is guiding us through all the thicks and thins. I still seek her blessings, and I get them when I need them the most. And on thinking of her, I only see hope, courage, dignity, and a desire to win, however tough the situation on hand may be. Remember - Winning or losing doesn't matter - fighting does. With that, I just bend to touch the ground, feeling her presence in front of me, in the process I touch her feet. And she blessed me just now. Did you feel that?
