MORE BYJaved Akhtar

    baap uñglī thāme

    ik nanhā bachcha

    pahle-pahal mele meñ gayā to

    apnī bholī-bhālī

    kanchoñ jaisī āñkhoñ se

    ik duniyā dekhī

    ye kyā hai aur vo kyā hai

    sab us ne pūchhā

    baap ne jhuk kar

    kitnī saarī chīzoñ aur kheloñ

    us ko naam batāyā

    naT

    bāzīgar

    jādūgar

    us ko kaam batāyā

    phir vo ghar jānib lauTe

    god ke jhūle meñ

    bachche ne baap ke kañdhe par sar rakkhā

    baap ne pūchhā

    niiñd aatī hai

    vaqt bhī ek parinda hai

    uḌtā rahtā hai

    gaañv meñ phir ik mela aayā

    būḌhe baap ne kāñpte hāthoñ se

    beTe baañh ko thāmā

    aur beTe ne

    ye kyā hai aur vo kyā hai

    jitnā bhī ban paayā

    samjhāyā

    baap ne beTe ke kañdhe par sar rakkhā

    beTe ne pūchhā

    niiñd aatī hai

    baap ne muḌ ke

    yaad pagDanDī par chalte

    biite hue

    sab achchhe bure

    aur kaḌve mīThe

    lamhoñ ke pairoñ se uḌtī

    dhuul ko dekhā

    phir

    apne beTe ko dekhā

    hoñToñ par

    ik halkī muskān aa.ī

    haule se bolā

    haañ!

    mujh ko ab niiñd aatī hai

    bap ki ungli thame

    ek nanha sa bachcha

    pahle-pahal mele mein gaya to

    apni bholi-bhaali

    kanchon jaisi aankhon se

    ek duniya dekhi

    ye kya hai aur wo kya hai

    sab us ne puchha

    bap ne jhuk kar

    kitni sari chizon aur khelon ka

    us ko nam bataya

    naT ka

    bazigar ka

    jadugar ka

    us ko kaam bataya

    phir wo ghar ki jaanib lauTe

    god ke jhule mein

    bachche ne bap ke kandhe par sar rakkha

    bap ne puchha

    nind aati hai

    waqt bhi ek parinda hai

    uDta rahta hai

    ganw mein phir ek mela aaya

    buDhe bap ne kanpte hathon se

    beTe ki banh ko thama

    aur beTe ne

    ye kya hai aur wo kya hai

    jitna bhi ban paya

    samjhaya

    bap ne beTe ke kandhe par sar rakkha

    beTe ne puchha

    nind aati hai

    bap ne muD ke

    yaad ki pagDanDi par chalte

    bite hue

    sab achchhe bure

    aur kaDwe miThe

    lamhon ke pairon se uDti

    dhul ko dekha

    phir

    apne beTe ko dekha

    honTon par

    ek halki si muskan aai

    haule se bola

    han!

    mujh ko ab nind aati hai
