I have been a strong feminist that compels me to write about women all the time but I am not against the race of Men. In-fact, life will be next to impossible to survive having to see only winging females around. I wondered, have we shouted the slogan of feminism so loud that it sounds like anti-masculism. I definitely don’t see men as my competitors. Having brought up in a family full of boys, so much so, that when it comes to sports, I found it difficult to compete with girls.
Post my last composition on marriage and divorce, I thought to give it a break but one of my dear old school friend (male) requested me to write something for men in the same way I wrote for women (30 things women should have or should do by the age of 35). I did try to google on the same lines but surprisingly couldn't find anything. No, seriously, there was nothing on the web to say, this is what Men should do or this is what it is like to be a man/son/father/brother. All the articles are more about how by being a man, you can support feminism, yet again. How strange is that! I am really baffled. This very fact,made me write with all the more interest.
I have to confess, this was a hard one. It’s been 4 days thinking on the content but now that I could complete it, this composition is dedicated, from the bottom of my heart, to my brothers. Hope you enjoy it...!!
Es Ghar Ka Mein Hun Chiraag…..!!!
Mannat maangi rab se, karde puri ek muraad
Hua jab beta tau bhar aayi aankh
Saj gaye sapne, naam roshan hone ke
De diya upar wale ne es ghar ka wo chiraag
Sab kehte hain mauj hi mauj hai meri
Kya nahi ye jaante farz bhi bahut hain
Behna tau chali jayegi dusre ke angna
Apno ke kitne armaan karne pure hain
Es dehleez pe nahi rahega hamesha hamara hath
Papa ne bola, hau jao ab samajhdaar
Sikha nahi tune abhi tak jeena hamare bina
Fir mat kehna, nahi samjhaya tujhe baar baar
Luka chupi khelti thi har roz meri bhi maiyya
Na milu kuch pal tau dhadakta tha uska jiya
Usko na tha intezaar mere kuch ban ne ka
Kehti abba ko, na daanton, taara hai ye meri aankhon ka
Waaris hun ghar ka, suntaa aaya hun din raat
Ummeden hai mujhse bin puche bin pukar
Nahi maaloom khudh ko bhi, hoga kaisa chamatkar
Chahiye thodi si himmat aur thoda sa pyar
Raasta kaun sa hai apnaana, ye hai sabko mujhe batlana
Roke aandhi, zameen ya aasmaan, rukunga nahi ye hai mujhe dikhlana
Irade ka pakka hun, keh deta hun aaj
Sirf tujh se nahi, kiyen hain khudh se vaade hazaar
Kuch kar ke dikhayunga, hoga gharwalon ko naaz
Maine kaha suna tum sab ne, aisa hoga mera andaaz
