Adhuri purnta

Kal badalon ke pechey se

ek adhura chand mujhey dekh hans pada.

Paas ke chote tarey se bola –

“Is ko dekho, jeene ki purnta ke pechey bawri ho rahi hai,

yeh bhi nahi janti ki jo waqt

purnta ke pechey gawa rahi hai

wo waqt nahin , lamhon ka guncha hai

jo uske dil se fisalta ja raha hai.”

 

Tarey ne nadani se pucha –

“To kya fisalne wale ko

hath badha kar pakadna nahin chahiye?”

 

chand ne tarey ko dekha

ek lambi sans  li,

aur pitritw ke andaz se kaha –

“Jab koi tara tut kar girta hai to kya karte ho?”

 

 Tara bola – “kuch nahin”.

Aur asmanjas mein chand ko dekhne laga.

 

Chand khilkhila kar hans pada. 

Use samjhate huye bola -

“ Log to us tut te tare ko girta dekh kar bhi

us par apney sapno ka bojha ladh dete hain.”

 

Phir jaise khud se bolbe laga –

“poornima aur purnta to matr ek raat

ke liye chu jati hai .

us tak pahuchney

aur phir se kho kar paney mein hi  chirantan hai.Adhure pan ke har raat ka maja to koi mujh se puchey.”
