निर्वासन



मूक आज्ञापालन के विनिमय में
परिवार का नाम क्या उधार देते हो

सदियों से गड़े, ज़ंग लगे
मान्यताओं के खूटों से
मेरे सारे सपने
बाँध रखते हो

मेरी कुर्ती,ओढ़नी
के नाज़ुक धागे
कैसे चटखा देते होंगे
हे मर्यादा-पुरुषोतम
तुम्हारा चरित्र
क्या इसी प्रशन से डरकर
मुझे अस्थायी पहचान देते हो ?

अजीब है यह निर्वासन मेरा
घरों,गली-मोहल्लों ,गावों -शहरों
में तुम जगह नहीं देना चाहते
इसीलिए सती ,देवी या डायन
का बंधन बाँध देते हो

  1. The American lady next to me on the flight, who happened to live in Delhi for 3 years, told me that there is a dryness of culture in Delhi and surrounding areas compared to rest of India. I find that reflected in the bitterness with which the bloggers from Delhi write about our society. I find more positivity and pride in the posts coming from peninsular India (coastal states - Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai...) than those from the north, esp Delhi and its neighborhood. Not without reason, of course. There is both good and bad in our society, it is criminal to fail to see only one of the two.
