"कोरोना हारेगा, हम जीतेंगे"
जीवन ठहरा-सा
है
ज़माना तनहा-सा
है
माहौल बिगड़ा-सा
है
संसार बदला-सा
है
लोग घर में कैद है
दुकान, दफ्तर, सब बंद है
सड़के सुनसान है
चारों तरफ लॉकडाउन है
न पटरी पर रेलगाड़ी दौड़ रही है
न ही आसमान में विमान उड़ रहा है
शहर की रफ्तार रुकी-सी है
शहर का शोर गायब-सा है
लोगों की चहल-पहल थम गयी है
यारों की महफ़िल एक गुज़री कहानी-सी है
बच्चों के खेल-कूद की गूँज चुप्पी है
जीने का मज़ा गायब-सा है
प्रकृति खिली
है और पंछी चहचहा रहे है
हवा ताज़ी और
नदी साफ़ हो गयी है
दिल अब तरस
रहा है इसे संजोने के लिए
लेकिन क्या
करे, हम है बेबसी के मारे बंद अपने घरों में
कभी सोचा न
था, जीवन में ऐसे भी होगा
फुर्सत के बदले,
ऐसी हकीकत देखने मिलेगी
झप्पी के बदले,
दूरी रखनी होगी
जीवन की एक
लड़ाई, ऐसे छिपकर लड़नी और जीतनी होगी
कैसी महामारी
है यह जो फैलती ही जा रही है?
कैसी बीमारी
है यह जो जान लेती जा रही है?
किसका किया
धरा है यह?
क्या यह सिर्फ
गलती या कोई विनाश का इरादा है?
कुछ महत्वपूर्ण
सवाल है जिसके अपूर्ण जवाब है
कोई भी समस्या
जहाँ से निर्माण होती है
अक्सर उसका
हल वहाँ पे मौजूद होता है
खैर, हमें अपना
वजूद निभाना ही है
जिस वक़्त से
हम गुज़र रहे है
बहुत ही संगीन
और कठिन है
लेकिन मेरे
दोस्त, तुझे मजबूत रहना ही होगा
तुझे इस कोरोना
महामारी से लड़ना ही होगा
ये कोरोना जो
है ना
बस कुछ ही दिनों
का मेहमान है
जब बनेगी दवा
तब होना इसका
तबाह है
आशा की किरण
जगाए रखना
साहस और विश्वास
को टूटने मत देना
एक सवेरा ज़रूर
आएगा
जो संसार को
फिर से रोनक कर देगा
सब कुछ ठीक
होगा
यह वक़्त भी
गुज़र जाएगा
कोरोना हारेगा,
हम जीतेंगे
कोरोना हारेगा,
हम जीतेंगे

"Corona Haarega, Hum Jeetenge"
Jeevan
thahra sa hai
Zamaana
tanha sa hai
Mahaul
bigda sa hai
Sansaar
badla sa hai
Log
ghar mein kaid hai
Dukaan,
daftar, sab band hai
Sadke
sunsaan hai
Charon
taraf lockdown hai
Na
patri par railgaadi daud rahi hai
Na hi
aasmaan mein vimaan udd raha hai
Shahar
ki raftaar ruki si hai
Shahar
ka shor gayaab sa hai
Logon
ki chahal-pahal tham gayi hai
Yaaron
ki mehfil ek guzri kahani si hai
Bachon
ke khel-kud ki goonj chuppi hai
Jeene
ka maza gaayab sa hai
Prakriti
khili hai aur panchi chahchaha rahe hai
Hawa
taazi aur nadi saaf ho gayi hai
Dil ab
taras raha hai ise sanjone ke liye
Lekin
kya kare, hum hai bebasi ke maare band apne gharon mein
Kabhi
socha na tha, jeevan mein aise bhi hoga
Fursat
ke badle, aisi haqeeqat dekhne milegi
Jhappi
ke badle, doorie rakhni hogi
Jeevan
ki ek ladai, aise chhipkar ladni aur jeetni hogi
Kaisi
mahaamaari hai yeh jo failti hi jaa rahi hai?
Kaisi
bimaari hai yeh jo jaan leti jaa rahi hai?
Kiska
kiya dhara hai yeh?
Kya
yeh sirf galti ya koi vinaash ka iraada hai?
Kuch
mahatvpurn sawaal hai jiske apurn jawaab hai
Koi
bhi samasya jahan se nirmaan hoti hai
Aksar
uska hal wahan pe maujood hota hai
Khair,
humein apna wajood nibhana hi hai
Jis
waqt se hum guzar rahe hai
Bahut
hi sangeen aur kathin hai
Lekin
mere dost, tujhe majboot rehna hi hoga
Tujhe
iss corona mahaamaari se ladna hi hoga
Yeh
Corona jo hai naa
Bas
kuch hi dino ka mehmaan hai
Jab
banegi dava
Tab
hona iska tabaah hai
Aasha
ki kiran jagaye rakhna
Saahas
aur vishwas ko tootne mat dena
Ek
savera zaroor aayega
Jo
sansaar ko phir se Ronak kar dega
Sab
kuch theek hoga
Yeh
waqt bhi guzar jaayega
Corona
haarega, Hum jeetenge
Corona
haarega, Hum jeetenge

Note:
A
couple of days ago, I viewed lockdown pictures of my beloved city, Mumbai.
Seeing those deserted streets, I felt tears in my eyes. Honestly, I couldn’t
bear that sight. The city that has always been full of life is now empty. Then
I saw a video about how the environment is getting better and nature is blooming.
I so wanted to go out and cherish it, but it’s significant right now that we
stay at home. I had also read some news in which many people committed suicide
fearing the Coronavirus. So I wanted to create something as a solution
highlighting all that we are going through in such trying times. That led me to
write this inspiring poem.
The
inspiration for this poetry was all the above moments. I penned this poem in a
way that it inspires one to be healthy, have faith, keep hope alive, and never
give up against Covid-19 or any life situation in general.
Dear
friends, be grateful for everything you have in life, especially life. Be
thankful for the internet as because of it you are reading this, say thank you
to those walls around you that are comforting you and keeping you safe for
years, thank your family, and be thankful for every little thing, be it water,
food, air, oxygen, etc.
Every
day I wake up with a smile on my face and gratitude in my heart and go to bed at
night feeling the same. Life is beautiful no matter what the situation.
I
know it’s a difficult time that we are going through in life. Because of the
virus, people are losing lives; the economy is tumbling down, businesses are
closed, countries are in lockdown, etc. But I also do know that it is temporary
and this tough time too shall pass. As I said in the poem, “Ek savera zaroor
aayega, Jo sansaar ko phir se Ronak kar dega.” (One morning will surely come
that will make the world shine bright again.)
So
hang in there, mere dost (my friend). Have faith. Be strong. We are in this
together. Together we will fight and overcome this adversity and come out more
powerful than ever. Take care; stay safe!
Coronavirus
ke baad mai aap sabhi ko khushi se gale lagaake milunga. (After the
Coronavirus, I will meet you all with a happy hug.)
Coronavirus
will lose; we will win.
Coronavirus
will lose; we will win.
Love,
Ronak
