Sooraj Ko Bujha Do


I wrote this poem in the entrance test of Editorial Board of my Institution. There we got just a line "Sooraj ko bujha do..." and everyone had to write anything starting from it. What I wrote is in front of you all.

Sooraj ko bujha do,
Yeh darpan chamak raha hai,
Ya is ghor prakash me dekho,
Ek pratibimb damak raha hai.

Wah talaash karta hai,
Shayad mil jaye ek aakaar,
Rang-roop ka koi bhed nahi,
Bas ho jaye kuch sapne saakar.

Mil jaaye use thodi si aazadi,
Aur is aajeevan qaid se mukti,
Zyada dhan ya gyaan ki chaah nahi,
Au' na chaahe koi saansarik shakti.

Kutta, billi, bhala, balla,
Ya panchhi aur gagan udaan,
Chaahe kyon na bana do patthar,
Par mil jaaye ek pahchan.

Ludhak-pudhak wo kahin bhi ghume,
Ya nadiya ke sang bahe,
Padaa rahe banjar bhoomi par,
Par peeda aur na qaid sahe.

Sooraj apni chamak se dekho,
Kaise ye darpan chamkaaye,
Main maanav hoon, mujhe hi meri,
Dekho kaisi pahchaan bataye.

Sooraj ki ye dhoop sunahri,
Mera tan chhalni karti hai,
Koi aaj bujha do sooraj,
Vyaakul ruh aahein bharti hai.

  1. jalne do is suraj ko
    yeh meri akhiri aas hai
    na bhujao is suraj ko
    andhere mein sirf dard ka agaaz hai
    jalne do is suraj ko
    ruh ki aahein nai yeh kirno ki hi pyaas hai

  2. Hello Mr. Anonymous! Thanks for the comment.
    I appreciate that you take out time from your busy schedule to read my posts.
    Well, I think you didn't get the crux of my poem. It expresses the feelings of 'An Image' which recognizes itself as a 'Human' in the bright light of the sun. It wants complete freedom to become anything but Human. The feeling of being a human gives it pain.

  3. IT DOES NOT MATTER, WHO I AM?
    AND IF IT DOES THAN LET ME KNOW.
