nice
the more are we imprisoned in-house
nature nowadays is in a different mood,
the more is she frivolous n gay n in grace
as more are we behind the doors glued. (1)
what a damn nature of we humans is
that we prey on her creations in thirst,
and if this time we are on backfoot
it is just that we still count us first. (2)
and little thought do we give to this
that she has been there long ago before we were,
yet we thrive to capture it, rule it
yet we try every other being to be conquered. (3)
she still would be there when we all will be finished
when we will be nowhere when we will be cypher
but don’t leave her behind dilapidated
cause you’ll ruin her off with the art to nurture. (4)
did you notice the changes during these days?
the formation of raw algae on milky glaciers.
the quiet sun in its salvation n solitude,
and sighting of new co-dwellers in both hemispheres. (5)
Nevertheless, I bet, you won’t have paid any heed
to the new natural developments around the planet.
to the new sounds of chirpings, to the all-new zephyr
to the speeding, beautiful, mammoth, rapid comet. (7)
since you are busily encashing the opportunities
that the pandemic has opened up for you.
and you are so engrossed with that deep within
that I just can’t explain it through…….. (8)
कोमल कुसुम प्रसून कुञ्ज वन विपिन अरण्य सभी काटे ।
इस सदा अतृप्त मनुज ने अपने उदर हेतु सुख ही छाँटे ।।१।।
नित तृषावन्त रहता हरता जल जन्तु जीवन जीव सभी ।
पदचर थलचर नभचर जलचर करता भक्षण करुणा ना कभी ।।२।।
कब तक – – – – – – – – – – – कब तक चुप रह सहती अवनि इतना दुःख दारुण दुसह प्रबल ।
चित्कार उठी वाराही धरती देन दण्ड लोचन भरि जल ।।३।।
नर ! है वो माता तेरी भी, तुझसे पर ये तो हो ना सका ।
मिलजुल कर रहता सबसे, ……..दुस्साहस पर तेरा ना रुका ।।४।।
अब देख मनुज तेरे घर-घर में ही एक कारावास खुला ।
तेरा पलड़ा हल्का उसका भारी उसके ही हाथ तुला ।।५।।
एक सूक्ष्म अदृश्य से जीव-अणु ने समस्त वसुधा बंदी करि ।
तुझसे, तेरे ही हाथों से, तेरी स्वसत्ता कथित हरी ।।६।।
अब भी सोचो और सोच समझ, यमग्रास ना बन, जीवन जीना ।
‘शैल’जा धरा ये मातृतुल्य चाहें सब खेलें इस अंगना ।।७।।
सच के साथ आप है हकीकत बयां कर दी है बहुत बढ़िया जी
