दो सलामी बल्लेबाज़
दो सलामी बल्लेबाज़
जब हाथ थाम पहला कदम चलना सिखाया था,
तब ये भी सीखा देते जब ये हाथ ना सर पर होगा,
जब कंधे पर बिठा सारा जग दिखाया था,
तब कन्धा देना भी सीखा देते,
जब दुनिया से लड़ना सिखाया था,
तब अपनों के खंजर निकालना भी सीखा देते,
जब बारिशों में सैर करना सिखाया था,
तब आंसुओं के समंदर पीना भी सीखा देते,
जब प्यार करना सिखाया था,
तब उनमे खाये धोखे से भी उबरना सीखा देते,
और जब ये सब खेल खेल में सिखाना ही था,
तो आप बिना जीना कैसे है ये भी सीखा देते,
ख़ैर कोई ना,
जल्द ही उस पार मिलेंगे,
…
बहुत बातें बाकी हैं,
कुछ आप कहना
मैं सुनूंगा,
कुछ मैं कहूंगा
आप फिर मुस्कुरा देना,
बहुत माफियां मैं माँगूंगा
कुछ आप माफ़ कर देना,
आपका सारा भार लेना है
और थोड़ा सा अपना भार देना है.
याद है आपको आपने एक घंटा माँगा था
इस बार सारा जीवन लेके आऊंगा,
इस बार बाप बेटा बन कर
आंख मिचोली नहीं खेलेंगे,
इस बार पुराने दोस्त बनके
सारे दिल के राज़ खोलेंगे,
आप देखना किसी दिन
फिर वही सुबह होगी,
क्रिकेट की पिच और
बाप बेटे की सलामी बल्लेबाज़ों की जोड़ी होगी,
फिर कदम से कदम मिला कर हम दौड़ेंगे,
पर इस बार अंत तक दोनों मैदान नहीं छोड़ेंगे…

Thank you so much Dixita ji for liking and appreciating the poem. Means a lot 😊👍🏼
बहुत ही सुंदर लिखा है मानस। आपका दर्द दिख रहा है साफ। कई बार होता है ऐसा कि हम सोच लेते हैं कि बातें क्या होंगी पर जिससे करनी हो उसका साथ नही मिल पाता। बस यही कह सकती हूं
उन के होने से बख़्त होते हैं
बाप घर के दरख़्त होते हैं …
Bahut shukriya Shipra ji. Ap tak pahunchi.. Iske bhav pahunche mere liye ye hi bahut hai… Aur ant ki 2 panktiyaan kya khub kahi hai apne… Dil se Dhanyawad 😊🙏🏼
Manas I literally have tears welled up in my eyes. This is such a touching poem. I could feel the pain of missing a father and the eagerness to meet the father in other world. I dont have a mum, and in her memories I had written something similar about meeting her up in the heaven and how whole experience would be.
I am simply moved by your poem. I am surely going to check other poems of yours and good luck for such lovely writing.
Thank you so much Rakhi ji. These words are so precious. There are some loses for which the pain simmers forever. Losing a parent is one such loss. One never recovers. I am glad that you connect and relate with my words. Will wait for your feedback on other ones. Do share the one you wrote. Hugs. Thanks again. 🤗😊
This is such a heartwarming poem. Each and every word depicts it beautifully how much u miss your father n how much u long his company.

Wow, Manas! Even though, I’m not very well-versed in Hindi, your poem had me moved to the core. Beautiful is an understatement. A perfect tribute for your father. Heartfelt, like all poems should be. #MyFriendAlexa #TinaReads

I loved it the first time I read it. And loved reading it again. Beautifully penned, Manas. Dads…. we have to live with the regrets of not doing enough, not listening enough.
Thank you so much Ritu ji for reading and going thru it again. No matter how much I write I can’t say enough about Dad. Thanks for appreciating 😊👍🏼
So emotional and so beautiful . No one can replace a parent
Thank you. So true. There are some losses from which one never recovers.
Emotional & a sense of forever loss that can never be filled up!. The video , the BW pics , the voice brought tears to my eyes again for the second time as I had heard this poem during light-camera-chatter.
Thanks for reading and viewing it again. Means a lot. This one is special for me. 😊👍🏼
Just phenomenal, apka likha dil chu gaaya, aur baaki kaami thi apka awaaz nah dil ka taar choo liya, ek asoo gira aur dard ka manzar dekh gaaya,
I am sure your dad in the eternal worlds would be proud of his son and this dedicated poetry would have moved him and bus ek jaadhoo ke jhaapi de jaatha.
I Am honoured to just read your write-ups 🥺🙏
Thank you so much Reshma ji. This means a lot. Hope my words reach him 🙏🏽
