आँखोंसे दर्पण जो नादेखुँ

आँखोंसे दर्पण जो नादेखुँ मुख सुख नहिं होता,
कहतेहो दुनियामेसुख दर्पणमे मुख नहिं होता!
              चेहरा देखनाहै आईना नजरोंसे छुपी पर्दादारीका,
              बेनकाब वास्तब है कहाँ वह सुखदुःख नहिं होता!
सादा शीशा खालीखाली आरपारसे दिख जाताहै,
पानीपानी रङ्ग-दरिया डुबा जोहंसमुख नहिं होता!
              पहचान किसिके अब दुनियामे छुपानाहै मुश्किल,
              किस्को कैसे जानेङ्गे जब्तलक सम्मुख नहिं होता!
शायरी सा सरस सरल सुरिली आजकी चायरंग,
प्रियसी बंद नजरोंसे देख दर्शनप्रमुख नहिं होता!

Unless the face is seen in the mirror, no way to be happy. And, they say, faceless is the mirror and in the world without happiness there they are on a race. You see the face on an opaque glass veiled eyesight.

Reality is not open anywhere, there is neither suffering nor joy here. Empty glass clean and clear things can be seen through. In a river full of colourful water, drowned underneath, one is not content brew.

Hardly in the world today can one’s identity be concealed. How can one be identified unless his mask is off pealed? Lucid, succulent sweetly tuned tea is ready for today.

Sweetheart, mere open eyes are not needed to see that truth is possible with closed eyes indeed.
