अनुभूति

http://blog.blogadda.com/2013/12/17/tangy-tuesday-picks-december-17-2013-creative-posts-by-indian-bloggers
I wrote this poem long back, and I love it. I would like to dedicate this poem to all mothers, would-be mothers, those who recently became one and to their lovely daughters. Most importantly this poem is dedicated to the wonderful and unmatched relationship a mother and a daughter share with each other...

Special Dedication to My Mom and my late Nani (grandma)! As my mom says that our relationship is so much like she shared with her mom. And every mother goes through similar fears and dreams for her daughter irrespective of the era she is living in. Needless to say that I love mine a lot. Here is the write up:

मैं तेरे आँगन में
खेला करती थी माँ
मेरे आँगन में
अब खेल रही है
मेरी बिटिया.

तू जैसे भूख-प्यास
समझा करती थी मेरी
मैं भाग रही हूँ
चिंता में खाना लेकर
उसके पीछे

पाला तूने मुझको 
हर धूप में छाया देकर
मैं भी देकर 
छाया उसको
जी जाउंगी
वो ही जीवन.

देख रही हूँ अब
अपना अतीत 
और उसका भविष्य-
कैसे जाया करती थी
मैं पढ़ने
वापिस आकर
घंटों बतियाया करती
खेला करती थी
तेरे संग
वैसे ही पनपेगा उसका बचपन
धीरे-धीरे
थोड़ा-थोड़ा करके
समय चक्र दोहराएगा
वो ही सब
और देखते देखते
बड़ी हो जाएगी
मेरी भी बिटिया

हर रात डर से
मैं भी जागा करुँगी
और सुबह देखूंगी
फिर कुछ सपने
मैं उससे
और वो मुझसे
करेगी वो ही बातें
जैसे मैं और तू
बांटा करते थे
अपने कुछ डर और किस्से

हो जाएगी
वो भी एक दिन
आगे बढ़ने को तैयार
पीछे छोड़
अपना यह बचपन

इस ह्रदय को
करके कठोर
मैं फिर लडूंगी
अपने हर भय से
तेरी ही तरह माँ
और आगे उड़ जाएगी
मेरी बिटिया

पर प्रेम-डोर से
बंधी रहेगी वो
हमारी ही तरह
फिर एक दिन
उसके घर में
खेलेगी
उसकी बिटिया

जैसे तू भी खेला
करती होगी माँ
अपनी माँ के आंगन में...

  4. Read your poem . As usual its very well written . your choice of words and how you string them together is awesome . Few months back My younger brother was blessed with a baby girl . i have him and his wife from close quarter in this time . How parenthood empact them , how it make them relaize the feeling they never know they were capable of , how it make them vulnerable and how it bring them closer to our own parents . its surreal to see this in my brother . you captured that surrealist feeling very nicely

    1. And that's why i love the feedback from you. It makes my efforts worthwhile when you connect these write ups with the world around you. Indeed parenthood brings us closer to our parents. We see how much efforts and love our parents poured in raising us. Thank you so much for appreciation. :)

  7. One song that comes to mind talking about mother daughter relationships is "Charkha chalati maa" from movie pinjar. But we're not telling any sob stories here are we?
    Beautiful sunshiny poem. I think everyone can relate with nostalgic anecdotes of yesterday and a hopeful dreams of tomorrow presented here. This strikes a very special chord with me!
