“Humne apne zakhm chhupa kar rakhe,
-Zulfikar Inamdar
to logon ne samjha humein dard hi nahi…
kya khoob faisla tha duniya ka—
jisne sabse kam shor kiya,
usi ko sabse zyada gunaahgaar keh diya.”
Humein Gunaahgaar Kaun Kehta Hai…:
Arz kiya hai ke….
Bimaar the to log
haal poochhne aa gaye,
hum muskura diye
to sabko laga
ab dard kam hai…
Kisi ne ye nahi poocha
ke muskurahat ke peeche
kitni raaton se
ek aadmi khud ko sambhal raha hai.
Rang chehre par chadha diya humne,
taaki koi aankhon ka
sannata padh na le…
Magar ajeeb log the,
chehra dekh kar bhi
dil ka haal padh gaye,
aur phir bhi
humein samajhne ke bajaye
humein judge karte rahe.
Humne har zakhm par
khud hi marham rakh diya,
har shikayat ko
honton tak aane se rok diya,
har baar socha—
“Chalo, is dafa bhi seh lenge…”
Aur log samajhte rahe
ke hum bahut mazboot hain.
Kaash koi ye samajhta
ke mazboot log bhi
kabhi kabhi
andar se cheekhte hain…
Bas unki cheekh
awaaz nahi banti.
Kuch zakhm
waqt ke saath bharte nahi,
bas aadmi
unhe chhupane ka hunar
seekh leta hai.
Mere bhi kuch zakhm hain
jin par waqt ne
dhool zaroor jama di hai,
magar dard abhi zinda hai.
Kabhi koi purani baat
hawa ki tarah guzarti hai,
aur achanak
saalon purana dard
phir se taaza ho jaata hai.
Log kehte hain—
“Bhool jao…”
Kaise bhool jaayein?
Kuch cheezein yaad nahi hoti,
insaan ban kar reh jaati hain.
Kuch chehre
tasveeron se nikal jaate hain,
magar dil se nahi.
Kuch baatein
waqt ke saath khatam nahi hoti,
bas unka zikr
kam ho jaata hai.
Aur kuch apne…
Apne rehkar bhi
aisa zakhm de jaate hain
jiska dard
gairon ki dawa se nahi jaata.
Meri qismat bhi ajeeb rahi—
Jis cheez ko bachane nikla,
aksar wahi mujhse chhoot gayi.
Jise apna samjha,
usi se faasla mil gaya.
Jis par yaqeen kiya,
usi ne shak kar diya.
Aur jahan dil se khada raha,
wahan ek din
mera hona hi
sawaal ban gaya.
Phir bhi humne
kisi ko badnaam nahi kiya.
Kyunki hum jaante the—
Kisi ki izzat gira kar
apne zakhm ko
marham nahi milta.
Humein bhi bahut kuch
keh dena aata tha…
Hum bhi chahein to
bahut se chehron se
parde hata sakte hain.
Bahut si kahaniyan
mehfil mein suna sakte hain.
Bahut se raaz
bazaar mein rakh sakte hain.
Magar humne nahi kiya…
Kyunki humare andar
abhi bhi woh insaan zinda hai
jo kisi ki ruswaai ko
apni jeet nahi samajhta.
Log humein
gunaahgaar samajhte rahe…
Hum khamosh rahe.
Kyunki har ilzaam ka jawab
dena zaroori nahi hota.
Kabhi kabhi
sach ko bhi
thoda waqt chahiye hota hai.
Aur waqt…
Woh bada ajeeb gawah hai.
Na kisi se dosti karta hai,
na kisi se dushmani.
Bas ek din
sabke chehre ke saamne
sab kuch rakh deta hai.
Aaj jo log
humein galat samajh rahe hain,
kal shayad
unhe khud samajh aa jaaye…
Ke jis shakhs ko
woh kamzor keh rahe the,
woh asal mein
apne dard se zyada
apnon ki izzat bachane mein laga tha.
Aur jis khamoshi ko
woh gunaah samajh rahe the,
woh kisi ke khilaaf nahi thi…
Woh khud ko tootne se bachane ki
aakhri koshish thi.
Ab hum bhi badal gaye hain.
Ab kisi ke faisle se
apni qeemat tay nahi karte.
Koi apna kahe
to khush hote hain,
koi paraya kahe
to hairaan nahi hote.
Koi samjhe
to shukr hai.
Koi na samjhe
to uski marzi.
Ab hum har shakhs ko
apna sach samjhaane nahi jaate.
Kyunki zindagi ne sikha diya hai—
Jise aapki khamoshi samajh nahi aati,
use aapki poori kahani bhi
samajh nahi aayegi.
Ab jo dard hai,
use lekar chalenge.
Jo yaadein hain,
unhe bhi saath rakhenge.
Jo log chale gaye,
unke liye baddua nahi karenge.
Bas unhe
apni duaon se bhi
aahista-aahista
riha kar denge.
Kyunki har rishta
zindagi bhar ka nahi hota.
Kuch rishte
sirf itna sikhane aate hain
ke dil kis tarah toot-ta hai…
Aur kuch judaaiyaan
ye batane aati hain
ke insaan
apne bina bhi
zinda reh sakta hai.
Aaj bhi kabhi
raat gehri ho jaati hai,
kamre mein khamoshi hoti hai,
aur dil ke kisi kone se
ek purani awaaz aati hai—
“Tum theek ho?”
Hum kuch der
khud se nazrein churaate hain…
Phir dheere se kehte hain—
“Haan…
theek ho jaayenge.”
Shayad yahi zindagi hai.
Har baar toot kar
khud ko sametna.
Har baar gir kar
khud ko uthana.
Har baar duniya se haar kar
raat mein
khud se jeetna.
Aur phir subah
aise uthna
jaise kuch hua hi na ho.
Isliye agar kabhi
mere chehre par
udaasi dekhna…
To sawaal mat karna.
Ho sakta hai
main jawab dene ki haalat mein na hoon.
Bas paas baith jaana.
Kabhi kabhi
insaan ko dawa nahi chahiye hoti…
Bas kisi ka khamoshi se
uske paas rehna hi kaafi hota hai.
Aur agar kabhi
meri aankhon mein aansu aa jaayein…
To unhe kamzori mat kehna.
Ye wahi aansu hain
jo bahut saalon se
apnon ki khatir
rok kar rakhe the.
Ye woh aansu hain
jo har us baat ka
hisab rakhte hain
jiska jawab
humne kabhi nahi diya.
Aur aakhir mein…
Agar zindagi mujhse pooche
ke itna sab seh kar
tumne kya seekha?
To main sirf itna kahunga—
“Maine seekha hai
ke har dard ka shor nahi hota,
har khamosh shakhs be-gunaah nahi hota,
aur har gunaahgaar nazar aane wala
waqai gunaahgaar nahi hota.”
Maine ye bhi seekha hai—
Insaan ko duniya se nahi,
sabse pehle
apni hi nazron mein
bacha rehna chahiye.
Baaki…
Log kya kehte hain,
log kya samajhte hain,
log kis naam se bulate hain—
Ab farq nahi padta.
Maine apne Rab ke saamne
apna dil rakh diya hai.
Aur jahan niyyat ka
poora hisaab hota hai…
wahan duniya ke faisle
aakhir kitni der tikenge? ❤️🥀
