रौशनी / Raushni / Light

रौशनी

 कहा जो दीपक से ये

है अँधेरा तेरे तले

वो मुस्कुरा  कर बोला

न फिकर अपनी है मुझे

 

पर बता बन्दे मेरे

कैसी  फितरत है तेरी

जलता हूँ तेरे लिए

फिर भी ये तानाकशी

 

संजो कर अँधेरे को 

फैलाता हूँ रौशनी

फिर भी जाने क्यों तुम्हे

बस दिखे मेरी कमी

 

ढूँढ़ते  हो तुम जिसे

उसको ही पा  सकते  तुम

उठो  ऊपर अंधेरों  से

रौशनी की लौ  चुन

 

 Raushni

Kaha jo deepak se ye

Hai andhera tere taley

Wo muskura kar bola

Na fikar apni hai mujhe

 

Par bataa bande mere

Kaisi fitrat hai teri

Jalta hoon tere liye

Phir bhi ye tanakashi

 

Sanjo kar andhere ko

Failata hoon raushni

Phir bhi jaane kyon tumhe

Bas dikhe meri kami

 

Dhoondte ho tum jise

Usko hi pa sakte tum

Utho upar andheron se

Raushni ki lau chuno

 

Light

To the lamp when I said

There is darkness beneath

Smiled wryly he said

Don’t you worry about me

But tell me ye man

How strange art thee

I burn just for you

Yet deriding you be

I gather all the darkness

And spread light around

But all you can see

Is a lacuna in me

Remember you get

What you decide to see

Just chose my light

Let darkness be

 

The best way to experience joy is to create it.
