अरी ज़िन्दगी !!
सुन तो सही ज़रा मेरा तू कहा,
बता दे क्या हुई मुझसे है खता
जो हो रही है मुझसे तू खफा |
तुझको मिला मैं अपनी बाहें फैलाये
तू क्यों फिर मुझसे अब नज़रें चुराए |
चल ठीक, कर ले तू अपनी मन मानी
क्या कहूं अब, तूने कब है मेरी बात मानी |
ऐ ज़िन्दगी !!
ये तो न था मेरा ठिकाना, बहुत दूर था मुझको जाना
फिर क्यों मुझे तूने यहाँ है रोक दिया तू बता |
जो अब तूने है समय दिया, मैं शुक्रगुज़ार हूँ तेरा
ये भी गुज़र जाएगा, नया वक़्त फिर आएगा |
खैर, तूने जो किया अच्छा किया यारा
मुझे अंततः जीना सिखा दिया |
अरी ओ ज़िन्दगी !!
साथ मेरा तू छोड़ेगी इक दिन जानता था
वो वक़्त इतनी जल्दी आएगा सोचा न था |
फिर भी कोई बात नहीं ज़िन्दगी तू घबरा मत
तुझसे कोई शिकवा नहीं, न है कोई शिकायत |
तू भी कोई गम न कर इतना ही होगा ‘गर तेरा-मेरा साथ
किस्मत हुई तो फिर मिलेंगे हाथों में थाम हाथ |
सुन ज़िन्दगी !!
तेरे संग मैंने बहुत कुछ है सिखा
बहुत कुछ है जाना और पहचाना |
सिखा दिया एक अंतिम सत्य तूने अब
उस प्रकृति से हुआ एकाकार मैं जब
ब्रह्मांड की शक्ति का अहसास हुआ तब |
I remember when my daughter has to be injected for taking the blood samples. She was just 3 months then. The nurse instructed us to get out of the room. I said “no, I won’t say anything you do your work.” and stepped aside, as I very well know they do this because parents and relatives get emotional and interfere when the baby cries. My acquaintance said, “हाँ इसको रहने दो, ये तो है ही emotionless”(“Let her inside, she is already emotionless”).
I am not the kind of person who gets emotional every now and then, watching TV, Movies etc. I am like this only. I am weird. I have seen “not too many deaths” but yes few, but that never affected me. I am surprised by my own self, when this “emotionless me” got moved by Irfan’s cancer news. I got to know about this on twitter when someone had shared this article. When I read the first time I thought it must be a rumour. Then I confirmed with my husband and I was like “God why it is not.” As I was reading further the full piece, I was both sad and smiling in consent. The feeling of sadness is obvious but don’t give me that look for smiling. It was a calm and repose one. Obviously, no one can do anything but to wait, his state of mind and the realization of his “oneness” with the universe gave me the feeling of tranquillity. How he had realised the immense power of nature and the cosmos moved me from roots. How death is so inevitable. We all know that but how ignorant we live of it. That made me think so much. #IrfanKhan this is for you and you are one hell of a guy who will get over this as well. I am sending my positive vibrations your way.

A person who owns such beautiful verses cannot be emotionless. I disagree with your acquaintances/friends on that.
You are filled with compassion and have a sensitive heart that has the capacity to feel for someone you have seen only on the movie screen. Beat that, anyone? 🙂
Keep writing!

The very fact that you such a wonderful poet mean you have emotions within. As humans we all are emotional. it is just that we may not feel the necessity to show out our emotions in all places all the time and dramatize for effect! Sudha #NISSATalks

You have a point, Sudha. And that is what people refer to being emotional..”Dramatize” and if you don’t, then you are labelled as “emotionless”. Besides, I agree i have problem expressing myself apart from writing.

That’s not termed as emotionless but being strong. I am also the same kind who cries with the movie and breaks down with a small cut on my child’s body. But stand like a pillar when I know my family is looking up to me.

Wasnt it rude and crude on part of the person to call you “emotionless”? Not showing emotions at the drop of the hat doesnt mean that person is emotionless. Rather it means one has a heart of brave!
Loved this poem that is inspired by Irfan Khan’s illness.

We cannot judge people the way they judge us. You are correct Anagha, being brave is our choice and people perceive it as being emotionless.
