परिचित अनजाने मित्र के प्रति (शोकगीत) Poem by Lalit Kaira

परिचित अनजाने मित्र के प्रति (शोकगीत)

क्षण भर के परिचय की पीड़ा
जग भर का बोझ थमा बैठी
तुम चले काल के कांधों पर
रह गयी बात मन मे बैठी

मेरे कवि अनजान तुम्हारे
रस्तों पर जो पीड़ा थी
तुम शब्दों के हार बना
सज लेते, ये तो क्रीड़ा थी

इतने निष्ठुर हो कर क्यों
भव-फंद से हुए पराजित तुम
कैसे खुद से हार गए
वरदानी हे! अपराजित तुम

देखो कैसे बिना तुम्हारे
कविता का श्रृंगार लुटा है
अंधियारे इस कोप भवन में
मेरा कवि रूठा है, डटा है

कौन थे तुम कब सोचा मैनें
कब मैनें कुछ शब्द कहे
तुम शब्दों के व्यापारी थे
फिर भी हम निःशब्द रहे

झरे पात पतझर में लेकिन
फिर वसंत को आना है
नया रूप ले कोमल कलियों
ने फिर से खिल जाना है

किन्तु नए युग में मेरे कवि
तुम जीवन भर गाओगे
इसी अधूरे पथ पर चल कर
इसको पूर्ण बनाओगे

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I never had a talk with him though we met many times when I was struggling for my bread. Job interviews, various exams we were together even in same room most of the times. He would always greet me with a distinct smile and I would return the same. One day a friend of mine told me that his friend who was a kind of mentor for him died couple of days back. He was very sad and I tried to console him. He informed me that he had also written some piece of poetry also which I must read on his facebook page. He departed and curiously I search for him and was shocked to see the same face on Display Profile. I went through all his posts. I was surprised to see the pain and restlessness. I almost cried for unknowingly I developed some feeling for that man. He lost his battle and turned his back towards life. I have tried to give him a tribute......
