चुप रह जाता हूँ - I Do Not Ask
चुप रह जाता हूँ
जब कभी
लगता है
कि तुमसे पूछूँ-
बच्चों की तरह,
कि सूरज को
रोशनी कौन देता है,
कि आकाश में
इतना नीलापन
कहाँ से आता है,
कि सागर में
इतना पानी
कौन भर जाता है,
तब यह सोचकर
कि कहीं तुम हंसकर
टाल न दो
कि मैं बड़ा हो गया हूँ
मैं चुप रहा जाता हूँ!
I Do Not Ask
Sometimes I wish to ask you
Like a mere child,
‘Please tell me,
Who gives to the sun
Its light?
Who brings so much blueness
To the sky?
Who keeps
The ocean
Filled to the brim?’
But I do not ask.
I am afraid
That you may laugh
And say,
‘You are no longer a child.’
And silence me.
