“Kuch log theek hone ka naatak itni khoobsurti se karte hain…
– Zulfikar Inamdar
ke unka tootna kabhi kisi ko nazar hi nahi aata.”
“Hansi… Jo Sirf Chehre Tak Thi (Part 2)”
Arz kiya hai… ke…
Kabhi kabhi na…
insaan itna toot chuka hota hai,
ke usse apni hi awaaz parayi lagne lagti hai…
Woh bolta toh hai…
magar har lafz ke peeche ek chup si cheekh hoti hai…
Hum bhi waise hi ho gaye hain…
na poori tarah ro paate hain,
na poori tarah hans paate hain…
Bas ek aadat si ban gayi hai —
logon ke saamne theek rehne ki,
aur khud se akela padte hi bikhar jaane ki…
Kabhi socha hai…
jo insaan sabko hasata hai,
wo khud kitni raaton tak chup chaap rota hoga…?
Humne bhi koshish ki thi…
apna dard kisi ko samjhane ki,
magar log sirf itna hi keh paaye —
“tum toh hamesha haste rehte ho…”
Us din samajh aa gaya…
ke kuch kahaniyaan sirf mehsoos ki jaati hain,
sunayi nahi jaati…
Aur sach toh yeh hai…
ab darr lagta hai kisi ke kareeb jaane se,
kyunki jitna zyada apna lagta hai koi,
utna hi gehra chhod jaata hai…
Isliye ab humne seekh liya hai…
hansi ko chehre tak rakhna,
aur dard ko dil ke andar hi dafan kar dena…
Taaki koi pooche bhi —
“Toh kaise ho?”
toh hum bas muskura kar keh sakein…
“Main theek hoon…” 💔
