हमने की थी जहाँ
पिछले साल
छठ- पूजा
वो तालाब गुम हो गया।
कुछ लोग कहते हैं
कि वो है अभी भी
उन ऊँची इमारतों के पीछे
जिनको बनाने के लिए
पाटी गई थी तालाब की जमीन ।
वह अब सड़क से दिखता नहीं
मैंने भी जा कर देखा वहाँ
बिखरा पाया कचरा
जैसे बिखरा है हर जगह
अरावळी में ।
पर फिर भी कुछ ळोग कहते हैं
कि वो तालाब अब भी है
वहीं कहीं ,
छुप गया है शायद
बचाने के लिए अपने अस्तित्व को।
कुछ लोगों ने उसे जिंदा रखा है
कागजों में,फाइळों में,
और कुछ ने
अपनी मीठी यादों का
हिस्सा बना कर।

Jyothsna, how tearfully you brought out actions of man against nature. Rising towers and duping garbage at ponds and successfully killing it. Last para brought out real horrors as it's true. We never take legal actions or humane response to save them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful written. Your poems are always a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteVery true. We have lost many of beautiful lakes, places because of new and modern India. Now we can have them only in our memories.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Reading a Hindi poem after very long.
ReplyDeleteHeart touching and sad to read it. Must be so difficult for you to pen it down. I try in every possible way to help save resources for the next generation. But many a times I am helpless too. Would really like to be part of this awareness initiative by you.

Thank you all for taking some time out and reading it. It's a serious problem. Many of us try to do our bit but feel helpless given the socio-cultural-political situations.
ReplyDeleteBut I strongly feel that together we can still work at it . Creating awareness among the masses is one little step in this direction.
