Shayari Aur Zindagi

Koi pooche ki shayari kya hai, to kehna mushkil hai. Magar koi pooche ki zindagi ke kisi lamhe mein shayari ne kya kiya — to jawab aasaan hai. Dil toota? Faiz ne sambhala. Akela tha? Ghalib ne sath diya. Khushi mili? Mir ne is mein aur rang bhar diye. Shayari asal mein ek aaina hai. Aap uss mein wahi dekhte hain jo andar hai — magar jo andar chhupi thi, woh zubaan par aa jaati hai. Jab Jaun Elia likhte hain "Main bhi bahut arsa hua kho gaya hun khud mein," to yeh sirf shair ka aalam nahin — yeh lakho logon ka daasta hai. Issi liye shayari marne nahin deni chahiye. School ki kitaabon mein chhupani nahin chahiye. Shayari wahan hai jahan zindagi hai — bazaar mein, daftar mein, mohabbat mein, ghussey mein. Bas ek baar dhyan se sunna hoga.
