कोशिश



कल रात, मैंने कोशिश की
तुम्हारी यादों को जला कर
राख बना कर, पानी में बहाने की.
फूल सूख चुके थे
आसानी से जल गए.
यादें शायद अब भी गीली थी
धुआं और आसूँ देकर बुझ गयी.
कुछ अधजली मोम-बत्तियां थी.
बड़ी देर तक जलती रही,
अपने साथ मुझे भी पिघला गयीं.
रात धुएं के साथ बितायी,
सुबह एहसास हुआ
तारीख के सिवा कुछ भी नहीं बदला था..

  1. brilliant...

    "yaadein shayad ab bhi geeli thee"
    taareekh ke sivay kuchh bhi nahi badla"

    bahut hee shandar lines..(ya fir land mines)
    keep it up....sb kuchh uda do..

    tum ek "sahityik gurrilla" ho..
    jo apnee hee satta ke khilaf chhapamar ladai lad rha hai....

  2. brilliant piece of work Neha. it made my mind shiver, these words have life.

    especially these:
    यादें शायद अब भी गीली थी
    धुआं और आसूँ देकर बुझ गयी.

  7. maaf kijiyega..lekin ye tarikh shabd sunte hi mujhe 'tarikh par tairkh..tarikh par tarikh..' yaad aa jaata hai :P

    par kavita mein bahut dum hai...aur bahut dard hai...

      Thanks for the appreciation.. It was my first attempt at writing in Hindi, so I wasn't very sure.. :)

  8. आपने दर्द को काफी बेहतेरीन शब्दों मै बयान किया है. इस कविता मै काफी दमदार चित्रकारी भी है, जो मुझे बहुत अच्छी लगी.
    "फूल सूख चुके थे
    आसानी से जल गए.
    यादें शायद अब भी गीली थी
    धुआं और आसूँ देकर बुझ गयी."
    बढ़िया.

  9. Its a great composition of words explaining someone's heart... Please keep writing... I have written something to console the words...

    अच्छी कोशिश थी यादों को जलाने की, पर यादें नहीं जलती ...
    मोम-बत्तियां उम्मीदों के मोम की, रहने दीजिये यूँ ही चलती...
    धुंए की रात छंट जायेगी, सुबह आपको एहसास दिलाएगी
    के तारीख बदल जाने से ही है जिंदगी बदलती ।
