“Insaan Se Zara Bach Ke…”:

“Jaanwar apni fitrat se majboor hote hain,
magar insaan apni fitrat chhupakar fareb karta hai—
isi liye saanp se zyada khauf
insaan ki muskurahat se hota hai.” 🥀🔥

“Insaan Se Zara Bach Ke…”

Arz kiya hai… ke…

Saanp berozgar ho gaya,
jab se insaan dasne lage,
kutton ne bhi sar jhuka liya,
jab se insaan talwe chaatne lage.

Girgit ne rang badalna chhod diya,
jab se insaan har roz rang badalne lage,
lomdi ki chaalaki bhi sharma gayi,
jab se insaan muskurakar fareb karne lage.

Saanp toh phir bhi saanp hai,
zehar uski fitrat hai,
magar insaan ka kya kehna—
pehle apna banta hai,
phir wahi apnepan ka zehar pilata hai.

Kutte wafadaar kehlaate the,
ab woh bhi soch mein pad gaye,
hum toh roti ke tukde par
umar bhar wafaa nibhaate rahe,
ye insaan toh kursi ke liye
baap tak badalne lage.

Kya zamaana aa gaya hai,
sach bolne wala zaleel hai,
jhooth bolne wala azeez hai,
wafaa karne wala akela hai,
aur chaploosi karne wala
har mehfil mein qareeb hai.

Yahan rishton ki bhi keemat lagti hai,
dosti bhi faayde se toli jaati hai,
jiski jeb mein daulat ho
uski har baat sach maani jaati hai,
aur gareeb ki sachchai bhi
bahana samjhi jaati hai.

Saanp toh ek baar das kar
apna kaam khatam kar deta hai,
insaan kamaal ka zehreela hai—
pehle bharosa jeetta hai,
phir wahi bharosa tod kar
umar bhar ka dard de deta hai.

Ab toh jaanwaron se bhi
shikayat karne ko dil nahi karta,
bechare kya jaane insaan ki chaal—
unke daant saamne hain,
insaan ke daant toh
muskurahat ke peeche chhupe hain.

Koi kursi ke liye bik gaya,
koi daulat ke liye jhuk gaya,
koi chand sikko mein zameer bech gaya,
aur koi apnon ko gira kar
khud ko bada samajhne laga.

Ajeeb hai insaan ki fitrat bhi—
jis haath ne sambhala,
usi haath ko kaat deta hai,
jisne mushkil mein saath diya,
waqt badalte hi
usi ko pehchaanne se inkaar kar deta hai.

Isliye ab agar koi kahe,
“Mujh par bharosa karo…”
toh dil kehta hai—
pehle waqt ko guzarne do,
kyunki alfaaz toh
aaj kal har koi kamaal ke bolta hai.

Aur haan…

Saanp se darna ab chhod diya humne,
woh toh zehar lekar saamne aata hai…
humein darr toh un insaanon se lagta hai,
jo gale milkar muskurate hain,
aur jaate-jaate
dil mein zehar chhod jaate hain.

Saanp berozgar ho gaya,
jab se insaan dasne lage…
aur kutte bhi kya karein,
jab insaan wafadaari ke naam par
ek-doosre ke talwe chaatne lage. 🥀🔥
