छिप-छिप अश्रु बहाने वालों / गोपालदास “नीरज”
छिप-छिप अश्रु बहाने वालों, मोती व्यर्थ बहाने वालों कुछ सपनों के मर जाने से, जीवन नहीं मरा करता है। सपना क्या है, नयन सेज पर सोया हुआ आँख का पानी और टूटना है उसका ज्यों जागे कच्ची नींद जवानी गीली उमर बनाने वालों, डूबे बिना नहाने वालों कुछ पानी के बह जाने से, सावन नहीं मरा करता है। माला बिखर गयी तो क्या है खुद ही हल हो गयी समस्या आँसू गर नीलाम हुए तो समझो पूरी हुई तपस्या रूठे दिवस मनाने वालों, फटी कमीज़ सिलाने वालों कुछ दीपों के बुझ जाने से, आँगन नहीं मरा करता है। खोता कुछ भी नहीं यहाँ पर केवल जिल्द बदलती पोथी जैसे रात उतार चांदनी पहने सुबह धूप की धोती वस्त्र बदलकर आने वालों! चाल बदलकर जाने वालों! चन्द खिलौनों के खोने से बचपन नहीं मरा करता है। लाखों बार गगरियाँ फूटीं, शिकन न आई पनघट पर, लाखों बार किश्तियाँ डूबीं, चहल-पहल वो ही है तट पर, तम की उमर बढ़ाने वालों! लौ की आयु घटाने वालों! लाख करे पतझर कोशिश पर उपवन नहीं मरा करता है। लूट लिया माली ने उपवन, लुटी न लेकिन गन्ध फूल की, तूफानों तक ने छेड़ा पर, खिड़की बन्द न हुई धूल की, नफरत गले लगाने वालों! सब पर धूल उड़ाने वालों! कुछ मुखड़ों की नाराज़ी से दर्पन नहीं मरा करता है!
Unanswered Question…
Remember this: A problem is nothing but an unanswered question. So stay calm. And figure out the answer.
Who thinks he can…
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can!
Ask your Life
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life will pay no more,
However I begged at evening,
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set of the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid
