मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ - BY ZAKIR KHAN


मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ ,
मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ ,
बे अदब सा मैं खूमार हूँ,
अब मुश्किलो से क्या डरु,
मैं ख़ुद केहर हज़ार हूँ ,
 मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ। 

यह ऊँच नीच से परे ,
मजाल आँख में भरे ,
मैं लढ़ पढ़ा हूँ रात से ,
मशाल हाँथ में लिए ,
ना सूर्ये मेरे सात है 
तो क्या नई यह बात हैं 
वह शाम को है ढल गया 
वह रात से था डर गया  
मैं जुगनुओं का यार हूँ ,
मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ। 

भावनाएँ है मर चुकी,
सामवेदनाए हैं ख़त्म हो चुकि,
अब दर्द  से क्या डरूँ,
यह जिंदगी ही ज़ख़्म है ,
मैं रहती मात हूँ ,
मैं बेजान स्याह रात हूँ,
मैं काली का श्रृंगार हूँ
मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ। 
मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ।

हूँ राम का सा तेज मैं,
लंका पति सा ज्ञान हूँ ,
किसकी करू मैं आराधना ,
सबसे जो मैं महान हूँ ,
ब्राह्मण का मैं सार हूँ ,
मैं जल प्रवाह निहार हूँ,
मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ। 

मैं शुन्य पर सवार हूँ।

    1. Hi . I do not understand all the words but I felt that it tells about a higher state of consciousness. One has felt that consciousness for some moments and in that state, the earthly things looks insignificant to him. If you listen to the song "I am the highway" by chris cornell ,then you might understand the theme of this poem. Actually our languages are not sophisticated enough to express everything that we feel inside us and sometimes we pen down our feelings but it doesn't make sense to everyone. That's why Sri Irshad kamil wrote " jo bhi main kehena chahu,barbad kare alfaaz mere" i,e " whatever I want to say,my words spoil the true meaning" . That's why eddie vedder wrote "I knew all the rules but the rules didn't know me "

    2. NO my friend he's not talking about consciousness in this poem.

      he's talking about how to conquer anything that one wants to achieve also he's saying one shouldn't rely on anybody else except himself/herself and opportunities can be found in any circumstances so don't lose hope just go with the life, have faith in yourself and don't complaint about circumstances ... there are many other important things in thing poem :)
