कली मेरी संतान

ओस की बूँद पर,
स्पर्श सूरज की पहली किरण |
सज्ज उठी प्यारी सी कली,
इस रंग भरी ओस से ||

है सीना तान के,
आँच न आने देती, लड़ती वो हर तूफान ||
लगाए उसे छाती पर,
पोषण देती अपने खून से,
कहती यह मेरी संतान ||

               फैलाओ अपनी बाहें 'ओ इंद्रधनुष,
               नाचे तितली, गाए मेरी सखी |
                        नमन करती मैं निर्मिति को,
                        "सुन वायु, ओ मेरी धारा,
                         मैं धरती, करती विन्नति,
                         बरसो आसीस इस कली पर
                        यह मेरी संतान, यह मेरी सन्तान ||"

जन्मे तू मेरी कोख से
या उज्ज्वल करे किसी का आँगन,
मैं तेरी माता, तू मेरी संतान |
मैं तेरी माता, तू मेरी संतान ||


Poet's Interpretation: I attended a poetry session with a group called Book Exchange Group - Mumbai. I learnt it's good to provide the poet's interpretation for the reader to connect his thoughts with that of the poet's. So here it goes:

Kali Meri Santaan - is about a Mother, the Earth, looking after her child like a flower bud - Kali.
                            A mother fights the odds, protects her child - "आँच न आने देती, लड़ती वो हर तूफान ||"
She feeds her child her blood in the form of breast milk - "पोषण देती अपने खून से". The purity of mother's love is defined in her prayers, here she calls vaayu and dhaara to bless her child. The unconditional love of a mother is portrayed in the last stanza where she says, 'Even if you are not born in my womb, even if I have adopted you from someone else's, I am your mother, you are my child'.

  1. मैं धरती, करती विन्नति,
    बरसो आसीस इस कली पर
    यह मेरी संतान, यह मेरी सन्तान ||"
    Amazing as it may seem to some.....
    true emotions of a mother captured in mother nature!!!!!
    waah tumhari yeh nazariya joh har maa ki nazaryiye ko zubaan de..
    kaash is kali ke jaise har santaan apne mata pita ke baare mein soche...
    har pal yeh baat na bhoole ki chahe woh ek oos ki boond hi sahi jo uski pehli saans ka sahaara bane....
    jud'a toh woh us dharti ki aangan se hi hai aur aage badh ke chahe woh phal aasmaan ki panaahon mein de....
    lekin yeh baat na bhoole ki woh badh saka hai iski wajah sirf dharti se jud'ne se hai!!!
    apni ja'don ko apni maa dharti ko jud'ne se hai!!!
