Maa Poem by Azitej Anand

Ek aahat si thhi,
Aisa lga 'Ma' tu fir se zinda ho gyi;
Ek anchal si thhi,
Aisa lga 'Ma' jaise tum chhaya(Shadow) ban k aa gyi:

Ek khushbu ayi,
Tham gye ye kadam;
Apne baccho ko dekha 'Ma' bolte hue,
To 'Ma' tu usme aa gyi;

Do kadam agey badhe,
Ladkhda k bhot bar gira;
Suna h maro(dead) ka naam ni lete
Pr tu juban p bar bar aa gyi:

Mausam yu bdle,
Ek din me char pehar dikhe;
Shyam ki pyali
Teri khoobsurti ki lali si chah gyi;

Ek awaz si ayi,
Yu muda shayd tu h;
Pr yaad ayi ek 'Ma' mere pas h,
Jo mere apno k juban p aa gyi:


Amar kon khta h ni hote yha,
Na jane kitne vardano me manga gya;
Shayad unhe ye baat hoti pta,
Dekh tu aj hum sb me amar ho gyi:

Mom, Mummy, kya 'Ma',
Sab lipte h mamta ki mom(wax) mein;
Baati(wick) ka kya,
Aj bhi dekh meri beti tere roop me aa gyi:

Jana sbko ek din h,
Aj avaz mere pas bhi aa gyi;
Teri masumiyat ka kya,
Aj meri akhri saans me bhi tu chali aa gyi;
Tu chali aa gyi;
