Farewell Note

yeh kavita maine hamare office ke ek aadarniye vayakti, Shri Sudhakar Bhardwajji ke liye likhi thi jo maine unke farewell (October 2005) ke din boli thi. Tactfully situations ko kaise tackle kiya jaye yeh maine unse seekha tha.


jeevan ke sopan par rakha ek aur kadam
laga zindgi kuch tham si gaye
aankhen kuch nam si ho gaye
kuch khatti, kush mithi kitni hi yadden
palkon par tair gayi
kuch kaha to kuch suna bhi
kuch diya to kuch liya bhi
ye aadar, ye apnapan, yeh aparimit sehyog
sab kuch to paya aap ne yahyan se
phir kuyon dil udas hai
aaj bas itna yaad rakhna hai
jeevan mein aate hain kitne hi mor
sangharshon se aap inehe dena piche chor
sukh-dukh bhi aayenge barambar
par rehna aap har pal taiyar
karmshetra hai yeh jeevan
yahan rehna hai din char
tan-man se raho swasth, shudh rakho vichar
yahi hai jeevan ka sar
yahi hai bavishay ka addhar
