MAHANAGAR KI BUS

meri dincharya ka hissa h
mahanagar ki bus ka kissa h
door se udti dhool ne kiya
bus ke aane ka sanket
main bhi ho gaya sachet
bus aayi
aate hi ruk gayi
baayin or jhuk gayi
kyonki pratyek bus mein
baayin or aarkshit seaten hoti h
jo bhari wajan dhoti hain
us bus mein bhi seaten thi
seaton par savari thi
or savari ek se ek bhari thi

khair-
jaise-taise sabhi yatri chadh gaye
kuch bheed mein aage badh gaye
kuch gate par hi ad gaye
par apna to roj ka aana-jana tha
conductor se yarana tha
so main to conductor seat par baith gaya
par mere baithte hi
ek muchhon wala aadmi
conductor se ainth gaya
bola- kyon be...
ye kya tera rishtedaar h
ya beemar ya chalne firne se lachar h
jo tune ise apni seat par baitha dia
or main baitha tha ,to mujhe
'staff seat' kehkar utha dia
to conductor ne kaha - hojoor
aapki tarah or bhi to khade hain
par aap hain ki vipaksh ki tarah
meri hi seat ke picche pade hain
is tarah dono mein jang ho gayi
bus ki shanti bhang ho gayi

tabhi bus mein baj uthe gaane
bade miya diwane aise na bano
hasina kya chahe hamse hi suno
or is gaane ka hua aisa asar
ki meri agli seat par baitha bashar
apne pass khadi
yuvti ki muskurahat mein kho gaya
use bithane ke lie
khud khada ho gaya
or uski or dekh mand mand muskurata raha
kismat mein dhakke the
jee bhar ke khata raha
apna stand aate hi wo mahila uthi or boli
mahila ko seat dete kitne acche hain aap
or jaate jaate keh gayi fir milenge bhai-sahab

bus mein ek yatri ne conductor ko
dus ka note diya
badle mein conductor ne ek ticket
or paanch ka note wapis kiya
par paanch ke note ki jarjar avastha dekhte hue
us yatri ne note nhi liya
bola ,conductor sahab
yeh note mujhse nahi chal payega
pada pada jeb mein hi gal jayega
ise badal dijiye
conductor bola- maaf kijiye
main is note ko bilkul nahi badal sakta
kyonki.. jab ghise pite neta chal sakte hain
to ye note kyon nahi chal sakta

is ghatna ke baad
ek yatri ne kiya sawal
bhaiya- chidiyaghar kab aayega
conductor bola
abe chidiyaghar mein hi to khada h
or kahan jayega
ab bus chal rahi thi dhere dhere chal
tabhi chad gaya usmem jebkatron ka ek dal
us dal mein ek dost bhi tha ravi
mujhe dekhte hi bola - or kavi
kya haal h mere yaar
lagta h tu abhi bhi h berojgaar
tabhi dikhta ruansa h
tera chehra bhi udaasa h
dekh, maine to pehle hi kaha tha
ki, padhna likhna h bekar
or mere dhande mein shamil ho ja ,ye h sada-bahar
ye kehte hue usne mujhe ek so ka note diya
or bola, rakh le kaam aayega
or koi jaroorat ho to batana
ni:sankoch chale aana
aajkal mera gang isi route par chalta h
or hum pade likhe berojgaron ka pet
jeben kaat kar hi chalta h

haan mittar yahi satya h aaj ka
or ye bas darpan h samaaj ka
par sathiyon maine apne anubhav se
parkha h,jancha h
bus ,bus nahi
sansad ka ek tuta futa dhancha h
jisme driver to h pradhan-mantri
conductor h vitt-mantri
bayin or sabse agli seat par baitha vayakti
loksabha ka speaker h
aarkshit seaton par baithe hain
rajyasabha ke sadsya
an-arkshit seaton par baithe h
lok-sabha ke sadsya
or jo khade hain wo h vipakshi dal
jo bonat par hain wo hain khas chamche
or jo gate par latke hain
jinke praan hava mein atke hain
wo h janta
jise jab marji laat markar
utara ja sakta h
ab aap hi batao saathiyon
kya aisi sansad roopi bus ko
kabhi sudhara ja sakta h...........????
