तू कौन से मकां में रहता?

तू कौन से मकां में रहता?
चारदीवारी को आशियां समझ बैठे,
मिट्टी के पुतलों सा बागवां में उलझ बैठे,
वो खाली पड़े आसमाँ में रहता।
तू कौन से मकां में रहता?

प्रतिबिम्ब को चेहरा मान बैठे
आईने के हर पहलू को पहचान बैठे
हर भाव हर आहट को जान बैठे
रिश्तों की बागडोरी को बाँध बैठे
वो निष्काम, निर्दोष हर पल तुझे देखता रहता
तू कौन से मकां में रहता?

Meeting Justice Rohinton Nariman in a Sunday Morning

Aristotle once wrote in his Nicomachean Ethics that there are four significant virtues for human beings, namely Prudence, Temperance, Justice, and Courage. There are a few judges who have courage and sense of justice, both. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rohinton Nariman has been truly an exemplar judge and erudite historian, theologian and philologist, a great scholar of music as well as a courageous and meticulous jurist of our country. He did his Master of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1980-81 and taught by one of the finest jurists of the last century, Roberto Unger. He became Senior Advocate in 1993 in the age of 37 and also served as Solicitor General of India in 2011 before he was elevated as a judge of the Supreme Court of India in 2014. He delivered many landmark judgments, including Shreya Singhal v. Union of India. There are a few people with whom time moves too fast, but to count that experience takes ages. Justice Rohinton Nariman is one of those great jurists with whom a meet...

Feminine Mystery

Portrait Courtesy: Shraddha One day when 'I' die All would born as free life The long struggle to be Would turn out to be a mirage Whose mystery is long known But forgotten Every concern or engagement Is an escape to forget The first germ of life; its completeness Shackles are nowhere But imagined as real One day that image would disappear And a blank sheet would represent The Being and Nothingness My mother my light Has merged into the shadow To witness the geist Glittering in every particle All around ether One day when I laugh On the seriousness of playfulness And let the things flow Without any expectation or resistance The day would be a new dawn To the spirit of wholeness And unity of phenomenon Fragmented in an age of reason And anarchus egoism of individuals One day the expression of collective Would loose its relevance When man would realise The silent spirit And its feminine mys...

पिरोता जाऊँ एक माला ज़िन्दगी का

पढ़ता हूँ हर एक दिन एक ही पन्ना, हर दिन हज़ार ये मालूम पड़ते हैं। जबसे होश संभाला है एक ही पन्ना सवांरते आया हूँ, लोग इसे ज़िन्दगी कहते हैं। इसपे लिखे हर एक लब्ज़ जो मेरे मालूम पड़ते हैं, ना जाने कितने जुबां पे चढ़े होंगे। आज हम भी कुछ पल के लिए ही सही इसके सारथी हैं, जाने से पहले कुछ रंग मेरा भी इसपे चढ़ जाए, बस इसीलिए एक ही पन्ना बार बार पलटता रहता हूँ। हर कोई अनजाने किताब की तलाश में बाहर निकलता है, जिसका हर एक पन्ना वो ख़ुद है। जब ख़ुद के रंग को समझ ही ना पाया, तो भला इंद्रधनुषी किताब के क्या मायने हैं? अस्तित्व में ना जाने कितने पन्ने बिखरे पड़े हैं, बस एक से ही अवगत हो जाऊँ, उसके हर एक शब्द को चुनता जाऊँ, कुछ पल के लिये सही, पिरोता जाऊँ एक माला ज़िन्दगी का।
