इस मोड़ से जातें हैं



The magic that can be created by this Golden Pair of Gulzar and R. D. Burman is simply unbelievable! By the time you are still figuring out how can simple words make so profound expressions, the music will drag you to your heart touching memories! And the ultimate effect is that you just wait there, bask in those memories and thank them big time for making you realize that "Its always about those precious things you have that money can't buy!"


इस मोड़ से जातें हैं, कुछ सुस्त कदम रस्ते 
कुछ तेज कदम राहे
पत्थर की  हवेली को, शीशे के घरोंदो मैं 
तिनकों के नशेमन तक 
इस मोड़ से जातें हैं ...

आंधी की तरह उड़कर, एक राह गुजरती हैं 
शरमाती हुई कोई, कदमों से उतरती हैं 
इन रेशमी राहों में, एक राह तो वो होगी 
तुम तक जो पहुंचती हैं
इस मोड़ से जाती हैं ...

एक दूर से आती है, पास आके पलटती है 
एक राह अकेली सी, रुकती है न चलती हैं 
ये सोच के बैठी हूँ, एक राह तो वो होगी 
तुम तक जो पहुंचती हैं
इस मोड़ से जाती हैं ...

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost


A very powerful poem I always quote to myself in the times of confusion. It always makes my opinion of conventions seldom lead to greatness! You have to be path breaking to make a difference! 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

भगवानदास माहौर (स्मृतिदिन १२ मार्च १९७९)

में विद्रोही हूँ उत्पीड़क सत्ता को ललकार रहा हूँ  खूब समझता हूँ में खुद ही अपनी मौत पुकार रहा हूँ  मेरे शोणितकी लालीसे कुछ तो लाल धरा हो...
