"ishq mein toh
har cheez mitt jaati hai
beqari ban ke
humein tadpati hai
yaad yaad yaad
bas yaad reh jaati hai"
do mahine guzar chuke hain...
aksar kaha jaata hai ki
suicide tendencies khatarnaak hoti hain!
na keval jaan dene ki chaah rakhnewaale ke liye,
par uske aajoo-bajoo saare logoan ke liye bhi!
do mahine pehle...
anu ki yaadoan ko mitaane ka...
prem ke saamne sirf ek hi raasta tha...
ki wah khud hi mitt jaye!
anu ki yaadoan ka prem ke zehen mein
iss kadar pehraa chaah raha tha...
na usse kisi cheez ki fikar thi
aur na hi parwaah!
frustration ki hadh par khada tha prem...
ya toh wah neend ki goliyaan khata
ya toh phir sharaab ke nashe mein
apna gam bhulaata!
par ek aur raasta tha...
wah raasta, jispe chalkar aksar
log apne ateet ki dor ko
kamzoar karne mein kamyaab ho jaate hain...
jisse apna kar, log is baat ki puri mandoli karte hain
ke kahin se bhi unhein ek pal ki bhi phoorsat na mile...
wah raasta hai - workaholic ka!
prem ne bhi yehi kiya...
jitna bhi kaam prem ki raahoan mein aata gaya,
prem utni hi lagan se use karta gaya...
yahaan tak ke prem ne apne dostoan
ke kaam ki bhi zimmedari apne sir le li...
din bhar prem ne jee toad mehnat ki
har target se jyaada usne tarakki haasil ki
par jab bhi suraj dhalta,
raat ka kaala saaya prem ke dimag par mandraane lagta!
is khaali waqt bharne ke liye
prem ne ek night course join kiya:
"how to learn french!"
nayi bhaasha, naye log, naya mahol...
prem kuch kar guzarne ki chahat mein,
haule- haule... anu ko bhoolta gaya...
aur aaj...
do mahine baad...
prem France mein, ek badi company ke liye
interpreter ki naukri kar raha hai...
tarakki toh hui hi...
faasla badhne se duriyaan bhi badhi...
mulaakatoan ki kadi tutne se, tanhayeeyaan bhi ghati...
par...
pehla pyaar toh aakhir anmol hota hai...
bhale hi prem ke dil se anu ki yaadein
kuch dhundli ho gayi ho
par aaj bhi...
uske mann ke kisi kone mein
anu ki yaad kaayam hai!!!
