जन्नत


जन्नत के मायने दूसरों के लिए कुछ और हों शायद
मेरे लिए कुछ और ही हैं
जहाँ चाँद की नहीं चांदनी की चाहत हो
फूल की नहीं खुशबू की एहमियत हो
कोरी बातों की नहीं सच्चे एहसास की तलब हो
मेरे लिए वही जन्नत है
लोग कहते हैं की हकीक़त में न सही पर दिल में जन्नत हो
पता नहीं कितना समझते हैं वो दिल, जन्नत और हकीक़त को
मेरे लिए तो मेरे दिल की जन्नत ही एक हकीक़त है
जो वो हैं इस ज़मीं पर तो ये ज़मीं ही जन्नत है
जो वो आँखें देखतीं उस चाँद को तो वो चाँद ही जन्नत है
जो वो हाथ उठते उस ख़ुदा की तरफ
तो उस ख़ुदा की रहमत ये सारी खुदाई ही जन्नत है
रह रह कर हर सांस के साथ उभरता जो वो नाम
तो मेरी हर सांस ही जन्नत है
  




Jannat

Jannat ke mayne doosron ke liye kuch aur hon shayad
mere liye kuch aur hi hain
Jahan chand ki nahi chandni ki chahat ho
Phool ki nahi khushboo ki ehmiyat ho
Kori baaton ki nahi sachche ehsas ki talab ho
Mere liye wahi jannat hai
Log kehte hain ki haqiqat me na sahi par dil me jannat ho
Pata nahi kya samajhte hain woh dil, jannat aur haqiqat ko
mere liye toh mere dil ki jannat hi ek haqiqat hai
Jo woh hain is zameen par toh yeh zameen hi jannat hai
Jo woh sanse hain is fiza me toh yahin jannat hai
Jo woh aankhen dekhti us chaand ko to woh chand hi jannat hai
Jo woh haath uthte us khuda ki taraf ,
to us khuda ki rehmat yeh saari khudai hi jannat hai
Reh reh ke har sans ke saath ke saath ubharta jo wo naam,
To meri har sans hi jannat hai


Note: Had written this for Shahid Afridi :)  :) in 2005, when I was in Mangalore....

P.S. That place is itself heaven during the rains

And I have labelled this as Treasury of courage and confidence coz this is what he had been for me for 8 yrs... till I came to the real world

Good that you came back to reality..doesn't matter how much time does it take to arrive...but arriving is important..and once we arrive..that's where our JANNAT needs to be...or we need to create it... best place is within...and that place has to be a scrosanctum..not to be shared...just to be lived.. rest falls in place... forever..

A lovely poem from where you were... RM...

Simply amazing RM!

Each and every word of yours in this poem shows the strength and a belief within :)

Sorry for the delay in responding... was a bit occupied with some matters... I saw the comments but responding in a hurry would have been dishonesty to myself... this is one place I love to be and the moments I love to live.

@ Ramesh sir: You are right sir.. the best place is within... not to be shared and in fact it can not be shared, no words in no language can translate it's full meaning to anyone else... it has to be lived... again a learning... this is commensalism between you and me .. ha ha

Thank you so much for guiding me and appreciating me

Regards

@ Poonam: You bang on chose the right word .. the strength and the belief... yes that is what it stood for ... that presence without a body... just an imagination built upon a face... for 8 yrs

Thanks for always being there

Take care :)

Don’t ever try to become somebody else’s dream. That is when you lose the freedom to shape your life your own way. It is way more rewarding ...
