दूसरों के लिए छोटा,
पर उसके लिए उसका आत्मसम्मान,
शायद तब सबसे बड़ा हो जाता है।
अपने ज़मीर की आवाज़ सुनना,
अब उसके लिए बेहद ज़रूरी हो जाता है।
हर दूसरे पल सवाल उठाया जाता है,
जब उसके अस्तित्व पर।
मौन रहकर भी, बिना बोले ही,
सिर्फ़ भंगिमाओं से उसे जब दोषी ठहराया जाता है।
खो देती है वो अपनी पहचान,
अपनी नज़रों में ही,
जब उसे अपना ही चेहरा,
दूसरों के आइनों में दिखाया जाता है।
पड़ जाती है सोच में,
कि किया क्या है ऐसा उसने?
जो हर गलती का जिम्मेदार उसे ही ठहराया जाता है।
कि हर गलती का जिम्मेदार उसे ही ठहराया जाता है।
दूसरों के लिए छोटा पर
उसके लिए उसका आत्मसम्मान
शायद तब सबसे बड़ा हो जाता है।

My Aspiring Hope 
Bilkul sahi. Har aurat ke liye atamasamman bahut zaroori hota hai. Usko agar koi thes pahuchaega shabdon se ya sirf acharan se to woh kaise sahegi? aur sehena bhi nahi chaiye.
