Mein Dard Likhta Raha

Har insaan ke andar ek khamosh Sarphira chhupa hota hai…
kisi mein duniya dekh leti hai,
aur kisi mein sirf raat.

Agar kabhi kisi raat
tum bina wajah jaagte rahe ho…
agar kisi ki yaad ne
andar hi andar tumhe chup-chaap tod diya ho…
agar duniya ke beech rehkar bhi
tumne khud ko akela mehsoos kiya ho…
toh shayad yeh kitaab tumhare liye hai.

Yeh sirf poetry nahi hai.
Yeh un emotions ki awaaz hai
jinhe hum aksar lafzon mein bayaan hi nahi kar paate.
Kuch panne mohabbat se bhare hue hain,
kuch tanhai se…
aur kuch un adhure ehsaason se
jo dheere dheere insaan ko Sarphira bana dete hain.

Har line ko raw, cinematic aur deeply personal Hindi aur Hinglish style mein likha gaya hai,
taaki tum sirf isse padho nahi…
balki har lafz ko mehsoos kar sako.

Aur kyunki emotions kabhi sirf ek language mein nahi jeete,
is kitaab mein Hindi aur Hinglish dono ko saath rakha gaya hai —
bilkul un mixed feelings ki tarah
jinhe hum samajhne ki koshish toh karte hain…
par kabhi poori tarah samajh nahi paate.

Is kitaab ko jaldi mein mat padhna…
Kuch lafz waqt maangte hain.
Aur kuch zakhm bhi.

Baaki sab bhool jaana…
par agar kisi page par tumhe apna dard nazar aa jaaye,
toh samajh lena…

ek Sarphira tumse pehle bhi yahan se guzar chuka hai.”
