इस बार

 मैं और तुम
मानो रेल की दो पटरियां
चलते रहे हमेशा समांतर
मिले भी तो फिर राह बदल ली
और गुज़रती रहीं किसी रेल सी
हम पर यह परिस्थितियां
हर बार हम रहे प्रतीक्षा में
अगली रेल की !
किसी गंतव्य पर पहुँच कर
तुम रुकी भी अगर
न चाहते हुए भी रुक पाया मैं
दूसरे प्लेटफार्म पर
कितना विवश हो जाता था मैं जब
गुज़रती थी एक जैसी रेल हम दोनों पर
मैं और तुम
मिले जो अगली बार
राह बदलने की जगह
बन जायेंगे एक ही पटरी हम !!

इंतज़ार का दायरा दरवाज़े से गली के मोड़ तक  बेकरारी की इन्तहा तेज़ साँसों से आँखों की नमी तक  मोहब्बत का इज़हार मेरी नज़रों से उसके दिल तक  उसकी हया सुर्ख गालों से होते हुए हसीं लबों तक  झुक कर तस्लीम उसके अंदाज़े बयां से हम तक  जवान हुए हमें एक ज़माना बीत गया !

Surgical Strike by Indian Special Forces in POK

1.     Since 1205 hrs on 29 Sep 16 the issue which has been "dissected" by all and sundry specially in Indian Media is the declaration by Lt Gen Ranbir Singh, DGMO of Indian Army that Indian Special Forces conducted surgical strikes inside POK and neutralized terrorists and "those who supported them".  Social media is abuzz like beehive with all kinds of messages being forwarded to all and sundry. Now let me enumerate what happened thereafter:- (a)  Pakistan gave out conflicting statements ranging from flat denial of any such operations, to accepting death of two of its army personnel in cross border" firing (Do they mean LOC is now IB?) to total silence from their Defence Minister who was talking of dropping nuclear bombs on India in case of any military action by India as also Gen Sharief their COAS who retires in a few weeks. Her efforts to raise the matter in UNO have elicited absolutely no response. (b) South Asian Countries gave either ...
