puja ke phul
mujhe hosh sañbhālte hī samjhā diyā gayā thā
ki mūrtī agar hotī hai
to puujā lāzmī ho jaatī hai
mūrtī binā puuje hue rah hī nahīñ paatī hai
mūrtī kā honā hī
parmān hai puujā kā
barsoñ se apne gaañv ke shivāle meñ
mahādev ko pujte hue dekhā
bāp-dādā se milī sanātanī āsthā kī aañkh ne
yahī pahchānā
aur pūjnā un kā
pūjnā apnā dharm maanā
nahīñ jaanā ki
puujā meñ parashn kā koī asthān nahīñ hotā
lekin ek din jaane kyā huā
mere andar ke aadmī kā
koī aur pahlū jaag gayā
sanātanī āsthā de ga.ī daġhā
man uḌ kar jaane kahāñ bhaag gayā
sochne lagā
ki agar mere donoñ haath achānak kaT jaa.eñ
to kyā hogā
jāntā huuñ ki puujā bas puujā hotī hai
khanDit vajūd kī ho
yā puure kī
ye nishche hī hogī qubūl
lekin ise aap chāhe māneñ merī bhuul
ye zarūr pūchh lenā chāhūñgā mūrtī se
ki kyā mahsūs hotā hai dekh kar
mere kaTe hue hāthoñ meñ puujā ke phuul
mujhe hosh sanbhaalte hi samjha diya gaya tha
ki murti agar hoti hai
to puja lazmi ho jati hai
murti bina puje hue rah hi nahin pati hai
murti ka hona hi
parman hai puja ka
barson se apne ganw ke shiwale mein
mahadew ko pujte hue dekha
bap-dada se mili sanatani aastha ki aankh ne
yahi pahchana
aur pujna un ka
pujna apna dharm mana
nahin jaana ki
puja mein parashn ka koi asthan nahin hota
lekin ek din jaane kya hua
mere andar ke aadmi ka
koi aur pahlu jag gaya
sanatani aastha de gai dagha
man uD kar jaane kahan bhag gaya
sochne laga
ki agar mere donon hath achanak kaT jaen
to kya hoga
jaanta hun ki puja bas puja hoti hai
khanDit wajud ki ho
ya pure ki
ye nishche hi hogi qubul
lekin ise aap chahe manen meri bhul
ye zarur puchh lena chahunga murti se
ki kya mahsus hota hai dekh kar
mere kaTe hue hathon mein puja ke phul
