राजनीति पर कविता : प्रियंका निर्वाण

कहाँ 
गयी
वो 
मुल्क-परस्ती
कहाँ
वो
जूनूनीयत
खो गयी 
इन हालातों 
में भी 
तू 
चुप है
ए-राजनीति 
तू कहाँ सो गयी 

क्या यही
तेरा
असली चेहरा
है
क्या
ये मुल्क 
सिर्फ 
मेरा है
आज भी 
बज़्मों में 
मिलती है तू
ज़रा देख 
नज़रें उठा के
ज़ख्म कितना 
गहरा है

क्यों
वतन! को 
नहीं 
सोचती तू
हर वक़्त 
आवाम को 
नोंचती
तेरी लापरवाही ने
उजाड़ दी 
कितनी ही 
कोखें
और 
अब भी
खुद से ज्यादा किसी 
को नहीं सोचती 
तू

कहाँ 
गयी
वो 
मुल्क-परस्ती
कहाँ
वो
जूनूनीयत
खो गयी 
इन हालातों 
में भी 
तू 
चुप है
ए-राजनीति 
तू कहाँ सो गयी

  1. Hi Priyanka! Reallyyyy liked this poem. It's powerful enough to jerk awake the most complacent of politicians. I am a bit unsure about the break up of the poem into so many lines, though. Pauses are important, yes, but sometimes they can become hiccups in the reading process, especially when lines are as wonderful and hard-hitting as yours. Perhaps you're following/ creating a system of meter and rhyme which I am unaware of? Waiting to read your next piece!

  2. Hello Priyanka!
    Yes, would like to know your thought process in breaking the poem like this.
    Moreover, I felt you jt touched a few things in the poem, perhaps staying with those ideas for longer would have given the poem more substance, otherwise it's appearin raw and to be worked at.
    Cheers!
    Jesus Loves You!

  3. Hey, Priyanka! This is Rohini Sharma. This is a beautiful poem that you have written. As some of our friends have already suggested to you to know about your thoughts to breaking up the lines like this. Though I can somehow connect your ideas to the political situation that is now being in our country. How political ideologies are being used to get more benefits for just themselves not for the country's people.
