“Khud Se Mulaqat — Part 3 (Jab Insaan Khud Se Mohabbat Karna Seekh Leta Hai):”

“Jab insaan khud se mohabbat karna seekh leta hai,
to duniya ki har kami chhoti lagne lagti hai…
kyuki usse apni keemat samajh aa jaati hai.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Khud Se Mulaqat — (Jab Insaan Khud Se Mohabbat Karna Seekh Leta Hai):”

Arz kiya hai… ke…

Kabhi kabhi zindagi itni door le jaati hai…
Ke insaan khud ko dhoondhne nahi,
Khud ko paane lagta hai.

Main wahi hoon…
Jo kabhi khud se bhaagta tha,
Jo har dard se chhupna chahta tha,
Jo har baar toot kar khud ko hi dosh deta tha.

Par aaj… kuch badal gaya hai.

Na duniya badli hai…
Na log…
Na kismat.

Badla hoon to bas main…
Aur ye badlav dheere nahi,
Andar se aaya hai.

Ab main khud se ladta nahi…
Main khud ko samajhta hoon.

Ab main apni kamiyaan chhupata nahi…
Main unhe apna leta hoon.

Kyuki ab mujhe samajh aa gaya hai —
jo insaan apni kamiyaan qabool kar leta hai,
wo kisi aur ke faislon se kabhi nahi toot’ta.

Main ab perfect hone ki koshish nahi karta,
Main real rehne ki himmat karta hoon.

Haan, mujhe dard hua tha…
Aur bohot gehra hua tha…
Par ab wo dard meri kamzori nahi,
Meri pehchaan ban gaya hai.

Ab main kisi ke jaane se khud ko khone nahi deta,
Aur kisi ke aane se khud ko badalne nahi deta.

Ab main kisi ka intezaar nahi karta…
Kyuki mujhe pata hai —
jo mujhe samjhega, wo khud chal kar aayega…
Aur jo nahi samjhega, uske liye main rukunga nahi.

Kabhi kabhi aaj bhi tanha baithta hoon…
Par ab wo tanhaayi dard nahi deti…
Wo mujhe mere kareeb le aati hai.

Main apne aap se baat karta hoon…
Aur pehli baar, mujhe apni hi baatein achi lagti hain.

Main khud ko dheere se kehta hoon —

“Tu ab badal gaya hai…
Par galat nahi hua.

Tu ab akela hai…
Par tanha nahi hai.

Tu ab toot’tā nahi…
Tu samajhta hai.”

Aur phir ek ajeeb si sukoon milta hai…
Jaise dil ne khud ko finally accept kar liya ho.

Ab mujhe kisi saboot ki zarurat nahi…
Na kisi tasdeeq ki…
Na kisi ki tasalli ki.

Kyuki ab main jaanta hoon —
main kaafi hoon.

Aur sach bataun bhai…
Jis din insaan ye samajh leta hai na,
Us din uski zindagi badalti nahi…
Us din wo khud badal jaata hai.

Kabhi kabhi to mera khud se milne ka dil karta…
Aur ab jab milta hoon,
To khud se pyaar ho jaata hai.

Aur main muskura kar kehta hoon —

“Shukriya…
Mujhe chhod kar bhi…
Mera intezaar karne ke liye.”
