Kya Shoonya kabhi hota adheer
Apna astitva dikhane ko
Itraane ko.
Sthapan yaa
Visthaapan uska kar deta
Ankon ka moolya
Badhaane ko
Ghat jaane ko.
Tum shoonya sakal ban jaati ho
Ho kar bhee mere saath saath
Apni garima kee mithyaa ko jhutlaati ho
Ridn-Ridn se dhan ban jaati ho
Sangeet lahar see taal bhari
Rasmay ek dhun ban jaati ho.
Mujhme na-na karte karte
Ras-vileen ho jaatee ho
Bas jatee ho.
Mand-Mand Jhonke jaisee,
Mujhse bhee jyaada
Tum lekin
Kyun itna
Muskaatee ho.
Itna tum kyun
Muskatee ho.
Apne bheege adharon
Kee pankhuriyon se
Daaminiyan kadak
Giraati ho.
Jhaanko apne munn mandir mein
Kitni aseem seemayen hain
Uttar, Dakshin,
Poorab, Pashchim
Se jyada kayee dishayen hain
Tum to swatantra ho chuki kabhee kee
Phir bandhan mein kyun rahati ho
Jaago tum rikt nahi bilkul
Kyoon vyarth vyatha yeh sahati ho.
Main nabhchar jeevan jeeta thaa
Vihago kaa bhee main meeta thaa
Udtaa thaa beech patangon ke
Meghon se jal main peeta thaa.
Per paake tumko ab lagta
Mera vimaan baisakhi thaa
Aisa aahlaad sukhad aisa
Anubhav milna bus baaki thaa.
Aakash shoonya (Tum) se chhota
Hai kahan shoonya, akash kahan
Maine bus abhee-abhee seekha
Bin pankhon ke aise udnaa.
Is “Zero” ever
eager
To assert its being
To be ostentatious.
Its placement or
Displacement
Can
Add or devalue
The worth of a figure.
You become akin to “Zero”
But while still being with me
You twice deny by saying
No no, little realizing that
When two minuses multiply
The product is positive.
You merge into my being
And become one with me.
Then
Like soft breeze
More than me
You smile
Why?
And the moist petals
Your lips
Dispatch thunderbolts
On my tender heart.
Take a peak into your soul
How many limitless limits remain about.
There are also many more
Directions besides
North East West & South.
You have long been liberated
Why then you feel shackled
Wake up you are not empty
Why do you unnecessarily
Bear this misery.
I lived in the sky
With birds I was friends
With kites did I fly
And consumed water from the clouds.
But after uniting with you I feel
My plane was my crutch
Because a pleasure of your union
Was yet to hatch.
Sky is smaller than “Zero” (You)
There is no comparison
Between the two.
I have just learnt to fly
Without pinion
In You.
