दुष्यन्त कुमार की फरवरी
दुष्यन्त कुमार को जितनी बार पढ़ा जाए, कुछ नया ही भावार्थ निकलता है.
सो अन्तरताने पे टहलते हुए एक ग़ज़ल दिखी और लगा कि हर शेर एक तस्वीर है.
इसलिए, इस फरवरी हम इस ग़ज़ल के एक-एक शेर को एक-एक तस्वीर के साथ पढ़ेंगे
और सोचेंगे और देखेंगे और गुनगुनाएंगे.
परिन्दे अब भी पर तोले हुए हैं
हवा में सनसनी घोले हुए हैं
तुम्हीं कमज़ोर पड़ते जा रहे हो
तुम्हारे ख़्वाब तो शोले हुए हैं
ग़ज़ब है सच को सच कहते नहीं वो
क़ुरान—ओ—उपनिषद् खोले हुए हैं
मज़ारों से दुआएँ माँगते हो
अक़ीदे किस क़दर पोले हुए हैं
कभी किश्ती, कभी बतख़, कभी जल
सियासत के कई चोले हुए हैं
चढ़ाता फिर रहा हूँ जो चढ़ावे
तुम्हारे नाम पर बोले हुए हैं

Gandhi - Do you know him?
During Gandhi's time as a dissident in South Africa, he discovered a male youth had been harassing two of his female followers. Gandhi responded by personally cutting the girls' hair off, to ensure the "sinner's eye" was "sterilised". Gandhi boasted of the incident in his writings, pushing the message to all Indians that women should carry responsibility for sexual attacks upon them.
Michael Connellan, "Women suffer from Gandhi's legacy"
गाँधी जी ने देश को छलकर देश के टुकड़े किये।क्योंकि ऐसा न्यायालय या कानून नहीं था,जिसके आधार पर ऐसे अपराधी को दंड दिया जा सकता,इसीलिए मैंने गाँधी जी को गोली मारी। उनको दंड देने का केवल यही एक तरीका रह गया था।
- नाथूराम गोडसे ("मैंने गाँधी का वध क्यों किया?" पुस्तक से)

Death - 0 (The beginning of the end)
December always gives me a feeling as if someone is dying. And every year, year after year, I found it was the year that was found dying through December.
But death, unlike life, is not so bad or painful or difficult. It's easy - you just have to lie there!
Anyhow, this month of December 2014 is for death. You know why? Because death is a poem. Remember what Gulzar wrote for 'Anand' and Rajesh Khanna recited:
But this is not to mourn the death or the dead. This is to celebrate death as once in a lifetime event. So don't be sad or disgusted or sorry. Just remember what the gentleman and lovely statesman poet Atal Bihari Vajpayee once wrote:
But death, unlike life, is not so bad or painful or difficult. It's easy - you just have to lie there!
मौत तू एक कविता है
मुझसे एक कविता का वादा है,
मिलेगी मुझको
But this is not to mourn the death or the dead. This is to celebrate death as once in a lifetime event. So don't be sad or disgusted or sorry. Just remember what the gentleman and lovely statesman poet Atal Bihari Vajpayee once wrote:
जन्म दिवस पर हम इठलाते,
क्यों ना मरण त्यौहार मनाते,
अन्तिम यात्रा के अवसर पर,
आँसू का अशकुन होता है।

Happy Birthday Majaaz
रास्ते में रुक के दम लूँ, ये मेरी आदत नहीं
लौट कर वापस चला जाऊँ, मेरी फ़ितरत नहीं
और कोई हमनवा मिल जाये, ये क़िस्मत नहीं
ऐ ग़म-ए-दिल क्या करूँ, ऐ वहशत-ए-दिल क्या करूँ
लौट कर वापस चला जाऊँ, मेरी फ़ितरत नहीं
और कोई हमनवा मिल जाये, ये क़िस्मत नहीं
ऐ ग़म-ए-दिल क्या करूँ, ऐ वहशत-ए-दिल क्या करूँ
असरारुल हक़ "मजाज़" लखनवी
Also, Happy Birthday to me!
