बँटवारा



बैठक की चटख लाल दीवारउसपर तस्वीरों की भूल-भुलैया,

सुनहरी धारियों वाली प्यालियाँ,

बरामदे का वो झूला

और धूप से सने पडदे,
जायज़ हक है तुम्हे,
हवाले तुम्हारे ही सब कुछ.

मेहनत की कमाई से,

सिक्कों में जो तौला है,
तुमने रुपयों से खरीदा है.



मैंने तो बस चुन-चुन कर,

दिलो-जाँ से सजाया था.

खाली पड़े मकां में,

एक घर ही तो बसाया था.

बैठक = living room,  चटख = bright, भूल-भुलैया = labyrinth, maze, सुनहरी धारियों वाली प्यालियाँ = gold rimmed cups, धूप से सने पडदे = curtains soaked in sunlight,  जायज़ हक = legal right, दिलो-जाँ = whole-heartedly, मकां = house

  2. I know...that is how one looks at them...curtains bathed in orange sunlight and not rs. 750/curtain....to each his own I guess.

  5. Vandana, is this poem about husband buying things and wife using them to decorate her home?

  6. this is about the division of things in a divorce settlement....technically if you see the husband bought those things so they belong to him but a wife made a home out of those things....was more attached to them than the husband who bought them.....but that has no meaning in this world....koi keemat nahi...so she is forfeiting everything to him and walking away empty handed from the house she so lovingly made into a home.
