और कुछ भी नहीं - aur kuchh bhi nahin
|
 ख़यालों में डूबे
वक्त की सियाही में
कलम को अपनी डुबोकर
आकाश को रोशन कर दिया था मैंने
और यह लहराते,
घूमते -फिरते, बहकते
बेफ़िक्र से आसमानी पन्ने
न जाने कब चुपचाप
आ के छुप गए
कलम के सीने में।
नज़्में उतरीं तो उतरती ही गईं मुझमें
आयते उभरीं
तो उभरती ही गईं तुम तक।
आँखें उट्ठीं तो देखा
क़ायनात जल रही थी।
जब ये झुकीं
तो तुम थे और कुछ भी नहीं।
- मीना चोपड़ा
Khayaalon me doobe
Waqt ki siyahi me
Kalam ko apani dubokar
Akash ko roshan kar diya tha maine
Aur ye laharate ,
Ghoomate, firate, bahakte
Befikr se asmani panne
Na jane kab chupchap
Aa ke chhup gae
Kalam ke seene me.
Nazme utrin to utarati gain mujh me
Aayten ubhari to
Ubhartin hi gain tum tak
Ankhen utthi to dekha
Qayanaat jal rahi thi.
Jab ye jhukin
To tum the aur kuchh bhi nahin
- Meena Chopra

STILLNESS MOVES (Reading at Living Arts Centre - Mississauga during literary festival - 13th September 2009)
|
Distances fade, 
a feeling as if I touched the limitless remains. Quivering fingers
grasp the floating clouds,  they merge in me as I in you. The hues of blue disappear in each other, when the sky re-emerges, beneath to above getting wet by the fresh rain. My feet soaked embedded in sand leave impressions strong enough wiping off the tidal waves that strike the climax within. Sand slips away under my feet. A Stillness moves inside me. Duality will remain I know, separating me from you, yet a dream is instilled, I pulsate yearn-- to be fecundated by the distant you. © Meena Chopra (From collection"Ignited Lines". This poem had received Honourable Mention from Mississiauga Library System.)
