atithee tum kab jaoge

एक हास्य कविता

आओ सुनाये मित्रो तुम्हे

इक अपनी राम कहानी

ऐसा अतिथी आया घर में जिसने

हमें पिलाया पानी

प्रथम पुरुष में लिख रहे है

 जो जो हम पे गुजरी थी

अन्य पुरुष न समझा पायेगा

कैसी हालत अपनी थी

अतिथि जब तुम आए थे

तब हम कितना मुस्काए थे

पहले तुम आए

हम मुस्काए

तुम लगने लगे हम सब को प्यारे

और रहने लगे तुम दिल में हमारे

फिर तुम आए

हाथो में मिठाई का डिब्बा उठाये

मुह कराया मीठा हमारा

तबादला हो गया था हमारे शहर में तुम्हारा

एक मित्र सच्चा आया हमारा अपने शहर में

भीग गयी पलकें और प्रेम से ओत प्रोत हुआ दिल हमारा तुम्हारे प्रेम में

दो हफ्ते बीते

तुम आए आँखों में भाव ले कुछ रीते रीते

जब चाए का प्याला तुम्हे  हमने थमाया

चेहरादेख तुम्हारा हमारा दिल भर आया

पुछा तुमसे क्या हुआ क्यों उदास लग रहे है

? तुमने कहा क्या बताएं परेशानी में घिर गए हैं

- हमने कहा कैसी है परेशानी कहिये हमसे

-शायद कोई हल निकाल सके हम मिलजुल के

मकान नहीं ढूंढ पा रहे हैं हम मन माफिक

कहा आपने /p>

हंस पड़े ठाहाक लगाकर हम

यह कैसी है परेशानी यह कैसा है गम

रह तो रहे है आप घर में हमारे

आराम से ढूँढिये मकान

आप है हमको अति प्यारे

ओ अतिथी हमारे

पर उस दिन से जो शुरू हो गयी व्यथा हमारी

कैसे मार ली हमने अपने ही पाओ पर कुल्हाड़ी

आपकी पत्नी बिरहन हो गयी

आपके याद में बेगम आपकी बेदम हो गयी

बुलाना पड़ेगा उन्हें आपको अपने पास

मजबूर हुए आप

और हमसे लगा बैठे आस

कड़वा घुट पी कर हमने हामी भर दी

पहले आपकी बेगम

फिर बच्चे

फिर तोते की पिटारी भी

आपके भाई ने हमारे पास रवाना कर दी

आपकी बेगम को आपसे कितना है प्यार

हमारी ही रसोई से हमारी ही पत्नी को कर दिया उन्होंने तड़ी पार

अब खाना तो आपकी पसंद का बनता है

राशन और इंधन लेकिन हमारे खाते से चलता है

बच्चे भी आपके हर फन में माहिर है सर्कार

बेटा हमारा एहसासे कमतरी का हो बैठा है शिकार

अब बच गए है हम

ढूढ़ देते है मकान तुम्हारे लिए

वरना तुमको तो घर मिल गया है

हमें ही न बहार निकल दो अतिथी समझ के

आज हम है खुश बहुत

मकान एक तुम्हारी पसंद का मिल गया है हमें

पेशगी भी दे आये है

कही देर न हो जाये

अपने ही घर में रहने का मौका कही हम  फिर न चूक जाये

कल मागवा देंगे एक भाड़े का वाहन

सामान भी तुम्हारा सहेज समेत देरहे है हमही

  हे अतिथि गण

अब इतना बतला दो

वो कल का शुभ महूरत

जब तुम अपने नए घर में गृह प्रवेश का जश्न मनाओगे

बोलो हे अतिथी तुम कब जाओगे

aao sunaye mitro tumko
ham ik apni ram kahani
aisa atithi aya ghar mein
jisne hame pilaya paani

pratham purush mein
likh rahe hai
jo jo  ham pe gujri thhi
anya purush na samjhaa payega
kaisee halat apni thhi.

"Atithi jab tum aye thhe
tab hum kitna muskaye thhe

Pahle tum aye
hum muskaye
tum lagne lage hum sab ko pyare
aur rahne lage  dil mein tum  hamare

Phir tum aaye
hatho mein mithayee ka dibba uthaye
muh karaya  meetha hamara
tabadla ho gaya thha hamare shahar mein tumhara
ek mitra sachcha aa gaya  apne shahar mein hamara
bheeg gayee aankhe  aur prem se ot prot ho utha  dil hamara

Do hafte beete
tum aye aakho mein le bhav kuchh reete reete
jab chaaye ka pyala tumhe thamaya
chehra dekh tumhara,
bhar aya dil hamara.
poochchaa tumse ---kya hua kyo udas lag rahe hain ?
tum ne kaha ---kya batayein, pareshani mein ghir gaye hain
kaisee hai pareshani
kahiye hamse
shayad koyee hal nikal sakey ham miljul ke.

makaan nahi dhoondh pa rahe hai
hum man mafik
kahaa aapne
huns padey thhahaka laga  kar hum
ye kaisee pareshani ye kaisa gam
rah toh rahe hain ghar mein aap hamarey
araam sey dhoondiye makaan
aap hain humko ati pyare
o atithee hamare.

par us din se jo shuru ho gayee vyathaa hamari
kaise maar li hamne apne hi paawon par kulhadi ??

AApki patni-birhan ho gayee
aapki yaad mein Begum aapki Bedum ho gayee.
bulana padega unhe apko apne paas
majboor hue aap
aur hamse lagaa baithe aas

kadwa ghoont pee kar hamne haan kardi
pahle aapki begum
phir bachche
phir   totey ki pitari bhi
aapke bhai ne hamare paas ravaana  kar di .

aapki begum ko aapse kitna hai pyar
hamari hi rasoyee se hamari patni ko kar diya unhone
badar paar.
ab khana aapki pasand ka banta hai
rashan aur indhan hamarey khaate se chalta hai

bachche bhi aapke har fun( talent) mei mahir hi sarkar
hamara beta ---ahsaase kamtari ---ka ho baitha hai shikar.
ab bach gaye hai hum
dhoondh dete hai makaan tumhare liye
varna tumko toh ghar mil gaya hai
hamey hi na bahar nikal do
tum dhakke de de .

Aaj hum hai khush bahut
makaan ek tumhari pasand ka mil gaya hamey
peshgi bhi de aye hai
kahi der na ho jaye
apne hi ghar mein rahne ka mauka kahi  hum phir na chook jayein

kal mangwa denge ek bhaade ka waahan
saman tumhjara bhi sahej samet de rahe hai
  hum hey atithee gan

ab itna batla do
woh kal ka samay
jab tum apney  naye ghar me grih pravesh

ka jashn manaoge
bolo
hey atithee
TUM KAB JAOGE

why did the hen cross the road

There was this rooster red
who saw this chick well bred

his heart missed a beat
he thought,he ought to  plead
and said"
"Oh cute little hen
please do become my friend
if you don,t I will die
and the farmer will then me fry"


The hen was disturbed

 also a bit perturbed

   and did't know what to do.








 She said"cluck cluck cluck

  OH  handsome please don't chuck


 your heart for me as such.
 I'll brave hail and storm


    and even be reborn
 To be there beside you.
 
You stay where you are  

  Please don't at all despair
 Its only just a road  
   Can it  ever keep me on hold??.

  Please wait for the signal red

  when the traffic will stop dead  

 I will cross over to meet you .'





And  She did just that
crossed the road

  to reach her lover mad

 

who  opened his wings wide

and engulfed her to hide
 


 Inside those furry feathers  

the hen snuggled closer



 the rooster pecked her cheek



  the hen coochie cooed
    ye ishq ,ishq hai eeshq....

MASKS

 Every face has a thousand masks
That is the way the master crafts

The same face -is first a babe
Then it is a genetic incarnate

Days gradually pass
And so do the masks.

Moments come and go away,
Time waits and knocks
and walks away.

The masked face! !
when it opens the door
Finds no one!
and its desires soar.
Looks left and right
and then walks out.

The casket with masks it keeps aside,
Wears one and breaks into a stride
It dances of love and sings of fun
And plays about with all inhibitions shunned


The eyes then rest on another mask
Put it on and meet a curse
Which says you are a grown up now.
    You have forgone the right to smile
Sit down and count these miseries mine
They come with me where ever I go
You chose to wear me and thus my woes.

The face tries to tear it away
But the grownup mask is there to stay.
The face prays and begs
"oh please go away
pray let me stray"

The mask is NOT relentless!!!!
it budges a bit
and grants a wish
" YOU MAY CHOOSE ANOTHER 
  From that basket thats kept yonder."
       
  "That basket thats kept yonder
You too know has masks asunder
take one. NO not of your choice
But one that I give ,
Now rejoice."

"I give to you my own siblings
They too have miseries to mine akin
be with them ,
Try them on one by one,
Let your life go on,with the moon and sun.
Each mask will make you do a deed
Befitting you and your hour of need
The rest will then shelter you
And save you from from failures due;
And also from sadness
That may follow suite.

These masks are to be worn always
By men and women
 All through their living days.

Inspiration

there she goes
or does she wait ?

Is she
looking at the horizon
or reaching out to it ?

that regal traveller
is she lonely ?
or is she forlorn?
will she succumb to the leacherous sea?
will she rush into someones waiting arm


a mystery she 's been for  many  a men
pirates and captains have lost for her
the ocean  too has tried to engulf
her stature and demeanour  could not be touched  .

I wondered if she was a woman's replica
fighting the sea
which was as torrent as the world
that  world ...
which waits ,and prowls to pounce
on 'Her' the 'woman'
in her moment of  weakness  .

but the more I see her
everyday
from my window near the waters
and see her
in her regality
I know
no wave will waver her
She  knows
she needs
only the 'silt '
and has no desire to float in the milieu

she is no fool
she will survive
she knows an anchor waves  away the storm .
and to win the battle of life
she forgoes the pleasures of going adrift
she decides to stay  and survive
rather than drift away  and die .

She is a woman's inspiration
to live and strive
she is a woman's inspiration to
win the fight

murder solved

This is the story
of Old M'cartney
a partner of M'cartney
& M'cartney  the firm.
He was the senior attorney
and a famous attorney
of  M'cartney & M'cartney the firm.


As he reached the gates
of his royal estate
he saw the gate-keeper
skimper away
Now that was unusual
so the furious septuagenarian
brought himself to open the gate

But he was unaware
this was a plot and a snare
where he was the unsuspectng bait
A bullet was shot
which went through  his heart
and he slumped on the soil
clear dead.
***
the Detective then came
with  reporters in pursuit
the news like wild fire
was spread.

The suspects were summoned,
five females ,and a son,
not  a criminal so  hardened
the son begged for  pardon
Calling his step mother on the scene.
He then spilled around all the beans.

They had hatched a plot with thoughts  of greed
 and the gate keeper ,to shoot the master agreed
It was a plotting in haste----no one was chaste
So all the three--- in the police dragnet.
were now cooling their heels



The inspector
and sleuth
were friends in their youth
they shared the applause and accolade
the media announced
they were better than hounds
and no criminal would
they let escape .

Life's elixir

Beauty ,they say
lies in the eyes of the beholder
Serenity ,is a blessing
not many can get
Ferocity ,is that with which
the lover is possessed.


love is beautiful
love is serene
love is ferocious
love is supreme

when you love you protect
when you protect you love
when you die for some one
you say "I have lived for my love. "


He who loves ,sees beauty in all
to a beloved his love
to parents the child
to the worshipper his God
love is beauty to the blind beauty and serenity
and ferocity together
are the ingredients of which
life makes its elixir.
