Hum bhi chaahte to duniya ke saamne jhuk jaate,
-Zulfikar Inamdar
magar phir apni nazron mein kaise khade hote…
humein daulat se zyada
apni qeemat bachani thi.
Talwe Chaatne Se Behtar Tha:
Arz kiya hai ke…
Taraqqi ki fasal kaatne ka
humein bhi hunar aata tha,
bas farq itna tha
ke humne har zameen par
apna zameer nahi boya.
Bahut se darwaaze dekhe humne,
bahut se chehre pehchaane,
kuch logon ke paas daulat thi,
kuch ke paas ikhtiyaar…
aur kuch ke paas
sirf woh log the
jo unke saamne jhukna jaante the.
Hum bhi agar chaahte
to thoda sa jhuk jaate,
thoda sa apne lafzon ko badal dete,
thoda sa apni ana ko maar dete,
shayad aaj hum bhi
bahut ameer hote…
Magar phir sawaal ye tha—
Jo shakhs duniya ki nazron mein
bahut bada ban jaaye,
magar apni hi nazron mein
chhota ho jaaye…
use taraqqi kaise kahenge?
Humein bhi mauke mile the
apni qeemat lagaane ke,
magar humne apni rooh ko
neelam hone nahi diya.
Kuch log kehte rahe—
“Tumhe waqt ke saath chalna nahi aata.”
Hum muskura kar sochte rahe—
“Waqt ke saath chalna
aur waqt ke saamne bik jaana,
dono ek baat nahi hoti.”
Humne bahut kuch khoya hai
sirf isliye
ke kuch cheezein paane ke liye
humein khud ko khona padta.
Hum thode kamyaab rahe,
magar apne zameer ke saamne
kabhi nakaam nahi hue.
Humare paas shayad
woh mahal nahi aaye
jinke khwaab duniya dekhti hai,
magar ek chhota sa ghar zaroor bacha raha
jahan raat ko
apni aankhon se nazar mila kar
so sakein.
Haan, maana
ke hum bahut ameer nahi hue…
Magar humne
apni zarooraton ke liye
apni izzat udhaar nahi rakhi.
Humne roti thodi kam khaayi,
magar kisi ke dar par
apna sar bahut der tak nahi jhukaya.
Humne safar thoda lamba chuna,
magar apne qadam
galat raaston par nahi rakhe.
Aur ajeeb baat hai—
Jin logon ne humein
“nakaam” kaha tha,
aaj unki zindagi mein
bahut kuch hai…
Magar sukoon?
Pata nahi.
Shayad isi liye
ab humein kisi se
apna hisaab nahi karna.
Na kisi ki daulat se,
na kisi ki shohrat se,
na kisi ke mahal se.
Humne apna hisaab
sirf kal wale khud se rakha hai.
Kal jo shakhs
toot kar bhi khada tha,
aaj bhi agar
apni nazron mein zinda hai—
to hum haare nahi hain.
Kyunki duniya ke bazaar mein
sabse mehngi cheez
daulat nahi hoti…
Apni qeemat jaante hue
bhi apne aap ko sasta na karna hota hai.
Aur haan…
Agar kabhi waqt
hamare haq mein aa gaya,
agar kabhi kismat ne
hamare darwaaze par dastak di,
agar kabhi woh din aaya
jab hum bhi
“ameer” kehlaaye…
To hum un logon ko
neecha dikhane nahi jaayenge
jinhone humein neecha samjha tha.
Bas door khade hokar
ek baar muskuraayenge…
Aur dil hi dil mein kahenge—
“Dekha…
humne tumhare saamne jhuk kar
kuch nahi paaya tha,
magar apne Rab ke saamne
jhukte rahe…
aur aaj jo mila hai,
woh kisi insaan ki meherbani nahi.”
Isliye ab
na taraqqi ki jaldi hai,
na ameer hone ka shor.
Jo milega,
apni mehnat se mile.
Jo aayega,
izzat ke saath aaye.
Aur agar der lage…
To lagne do.
Humein manzil der se manzoor hai,
magar aisi manzil nahi
jahan pahunch kar
khud se aankhein milani mushkil ho jaayein.
Humne zindagi se
sirf ek cheez maangi hai—
“Mujhe itna de
ke main kisi ka mohtaaj na rahun,
aur itna bhi nahi
ke main kisi zarooratmand ko
apne se chhota samajhne lagun.”
Bas…
Isi ko apni taraqqi maanenge.
Isi ko apni daulat.
Isi ko apni jeet.
Kyunki asal amiri jeb mein nahi hoti…
asal amiri us waqt hoti hai
jab aadmi ke paas kam ho,
phir bhi uska zameer
bahut ameer ho. ❤️🌹
