? ~ Nameless Bonds… ??

There are bonds that resist all names

yet outshine every known relation

rising above the fragile

lattice of mortal ties

 

Silent and unseen

they etch themselves

as sacred calligraphy upon

the secret pages of the heart

 

No definition can contain them

no measure can fathom their depth—

they descend quietly into the

soul’s hidden chambers

like soft rain upon parched earth

 

At times they are the hush

of whispered confessions

at times the mystical cadence

resting in a gaze

and at times the tender fragrance

of a dream’s unfolding

 

Within them dwells no complaint

no wound, no sorrow—

only the solace of unwavering trust

a shadow that shelters

walking beside us through

every tempestuous storm

 

They appear as the light of a

mother’s prayer or as the fragrance

of an enduring friendship

or as a support of a fellow traveller

who —once a stranger—

takes sanctuary in the

heart’s most sacred alcove…

 

These unnamed bonds are the

true essence of the life—

a celestial bridge between souls

greater than every relation

higher than every name

a divine benediction

that sanctifies our existence…

~ Pravin Raghuvanshi

 ? ~ बेनामी रिश्ते… ??

 कुछ रिश्ते ऐसे भी होते हैं

जिनके नाम नहीं हुआ करते,

मगर वो हर रिश्ते से बढ़कर,

हर तअल्लुक़ से ऊँचे होते हैं…

जो बेनाम रहकर भी दिल की किताब

में रूहानी हरफ़ बन जाते हैं,

और रूह की गहराइयों में

ख़ामोशी से उतर जाते हैं…

 

वो कभी सरगोशियों का जादू होते हैं,

कभी निगाहों में ठहरा सूफ़ियाना राज़, तो

कभी ख़्वाबों में छुपा एक नर्म सा एहसास,

जिनमें न कोई शिकवा होता है,

और न ही कभी कोई गिला,

बस यक़ीन की वो शफ़क़त जो तूफ़ानों में

भी हमसफ़र बनकर साथ चलती है

 

कभी ये माँ की दुआओं का उजाला बनते हैं,

तो कभी दोस्ती की ख़ुशबू से महकते हैं,

और कभी सफ़र में मिलने वाले

एक अंजान हमसफ़र बनकर,

दिल के क़रीब ठहर जाते हैं,

और रूह में उतर जाते हैं…

 

यही बेनाम रिश्ते हैं ज़िन्दगी के असल माने—

जो रूह से रूह को जोड़ते हैं, हर रिश्ते से बरतर,

हर नाम से बुलंद, ख़ुदा की एक नेमत,

हमें जीने का मक़सद और सुकून देते हैं..
