manushyataa

vichaar lo ki matry ho n mrityu se daro kabhee¸
maro parantu yon maro ki yaad jo kare sabhee.

huee n yon su–mrityu to vrithaa mare¸ vrithaa jiye¸
naheen vaheen ki jo jiyaa n aapake lie.
yahee pashu–pravritti hai ki aap aap hee chare¸
vahee manushy hai ki jo manushy ke lie mare..

usee udaar kee kathaa sarasvatee bakhaanavee¸
usee udaar se dharaa kritaarth bhaav maanatee.
usee udaar kee sadaa sajeev keerti koojatee;
tathaa usee udaar ko samast srishti poojatee.

akhand aatmabhaav jo aseem vishv men bhare¸
vahee manushy hai ki jo manushy ke liye mare..

sahaanubhooti chaahie¸ mahaavibhooti hai vahee;
vasheekritaa sadaiv hai banee huee svayn mahee.
virooddhavaad buddh kaa dayaa–pravaah men bahaa¸
vineet lok varg kyaa n saamane jhukaa rahe?

ahaa! vahee udaar hai paropakaar jo kare¸
vaheen manushy hai ki jo manushy ke lie mare..

annt antariksh men annt dev hain khade¸
samaksh hee svabaahu jo badhaa rahe bade–bade.
parasparaavalamb se utho tathaa badho sabhee¸
abhee amatry–ank men apnk ho chadho sabhee.

raho n yon ki ek se n kaam aur kaa sare¸
vahee manushy hai ki jo manushy ke lie mare..

"manushy maatr bandhu hai" yahee badaa vivek hai¸
puraanapuroosh svaynbhoo pitaa prasiddh ek hai.
falaanusaar karm ke avashy baahy bhed hai¸
parntu antaraiky men pramaanabhoot ved hain.

anarth hai ki bndhu ho n bndhu kee vyathaa hare¸
vahee manushy hai ki jo manushy ke lie mare..

chalo abheesht maarg men saharsh khelate hue¸
vipatti vipr jo paden unhen dhakelate hue.
ghate n hel mel haan¸ badhe n bhinnataa kabhee¸
atark ek pnth ke satark pnth hon sabhee.

tabhee samarth bhaav hai ki taarataa huaa tare¸
vahee manushy hai ki jo manushy ke lie mare..
