GHAR

Uss ghar ki subah abhi bhi yaad hai mujhe,

Verande se laga kamra aur uski badi si khidki,,

Har roz subah maa ki pukar se pehle…

Uss khidki se aati dhoop jagati thi mujhe!

Voh bada sa makaan, mera ghar tha,

Dus logon ka pariwar aur jaise ghar mei har roz ho koi tyohaar,,

Uss ghar ka har kamra khaas tha, kahin dadi-baba ki pukar…

Toh kahin taiji ki phatkar…

Toh kahin purane khilono ka aks tha!

Bada sa rasoi ghar aur vahan rakhe achar ke bade imartban…

yaad hain mujhe,

maa se chup ker aachar khana aur…

pakde jane per taiji ka bachana yaad hai mujhe!

Dadi baba ka kamra nanhe kisse-kahani yaad dilata hai mujhe,

Aur tauji ke kamre ka andhera, aaj bhi darta hai mujhe,,

Khane ke kamre mei maze kursi samjhati hu mei…

Lekin vahan rakhi aalu pyaaz ki tokari aaj bhi raaz hai mere liye!

Baithak mei dekha chandrakanta labon per muskurahat lata hai,

Lekin baba ki kahaniyon jaisa chu nahi pata hai!

Mera voh ghar ab kisi aur ka aashiyana hai,

Ab, na voh deeware meri hain aur na voh galiyare mere hain…

Per voh subah ab bhi meri hai aur voh yaadien aaj bhi taaza hai…

Aur uss ghar ka har kona aaj bhi saath hai mere!
