Your Maya

Autoplay


I was then hardly five
residing at Muri by hill side
my mother and my aunt told me
i wanted to go on hill top
and meditate there; when i came
into my existence i wanted
to leave my home, desired
to go on exile where i could meditate
but your maya always prevented me
suggested me to live in worldly affair
and to discharge my duty
that i performed with devotion

At thirty two i left the home
went to varanasi as a vagabond
within two days i realised
i have my wife and two sons
Lord Buddha was a prince
he had nothing to think
so, i returned back

When i came back i saw
every one weeping for my presence

I pledged never to quit
since then discharging my duty
only death can separate me.

These all are your maya
which is permeating the life
of every creature to live in
and to die for home.

But, now my home is this world.

नीलाम

यह कविता मै 1975 में लिखी थी। इमर्जेंसी का दौर था। कविता कुछ इस तरह से है। बिक गई है यह जमी , बिक गया है आसमा  बिक गए सारे चमन, बिक गया है कारवां। बिक गए कण कण भू गर्भ के  बिक गए पेड़ पौधे पशु पंछिया  अब कुछ न रहा इस जहां में  है सारा जहां अब बिक चुका  जो कुछ रहा रस्मों के नाम पर  वह भी तो अब बिक चुका।। विज्ञान की उपलब्धियां भी  गई व्यापार के इस खेल में  जाने और आबरू भी  बिक चुके अब कौड़ियों के मोल में।। कुछ बिका इंसाफ के नाम पर  कुछ बिके राहत के नाम पर  हकीकत की दुनिया में रहने वाले भी  बिक चुके अब इंकलाब के नाम पर।। जिसने जितना पाया लूटा खसोटा  कुछ धर दबोचा और अंत तक  व्यापार कर मढ लिया सरताज को  बस हालात अब आ चुकी है  जब इंसान भी अब बिक चुका।। तब तलक तो मुझको यारो  जी लेने दो अपने ख्यालों में  खामोशियों में गर कुछ जिन्दगी को  बस जिन्दगी दे दे।

THE HYMN OF MERCY

                           O’ God, You are the smile of nature, you have tied up the nature in two ways, material and immaterial, joys and pains are in both, material relation, its access is to all, to all the creatures, but it is perishable. Immaterial relation is very often in the nature, material relation ends with destruction, immaterial relation ends with creation. For a mortal mind What is a realisation A spiritual unfoldment Finite is never possible. I woe upon the discreet, The vagrance and awareness The joys and greeds All are misunderstanding You are the Supreme And Imperishable 'O' Lord, I think of your existence. Some says, You are! Some says, No! What can I say I don't know. But the mercy which you shower upon I feel it. O' God! my life must not be filled with false pride and evil illusion my head must be bowed down before the world community for not completing the assi...
