"My art is my search for the moments beyond the ones of self knowledge. It is the rhythmic fantasy; a restless streak which looks for its own fulfillment! A stillness that moves within! An intense search for my origin and ultimate identity". - Meena

और कुछ भी नहीं - aur kuchh bhi nahin

ख़यालों में डूबे
वक्त की सियाही में
कलम को अपनी डुबोकर
आकाश को रोशन कर दिया था मैंने

और यह लहराते,
घूमते -फिरते, बहकते
बेफ़िक्र से आसमानी पन्ने
न जाने कब चुपचाप
आ के छुप गए
कलम के सीने में।

नज़्में उतरीं तो उतरती ही गईं मुझमें
आयते उभरीं
तो उभरती ही गईं तुम तक।

आँखें उट्ठीं तो देखा
क़ायनात जल रही थी।

जब ये झुकीं
तो तुम थे और कुछ भी नहीं।

- मीना चोपड़ा



Khayaalon me doobe
Waqt ki siyahi me
Kalam ko apani dubokar
Akash ko roshan kar diya tha maine

Aur ye laharate ,
Ghoomate, firate, bahakte
Befikr se asmani panne
Na jane kab chupchap
Aa ke chhup gae
Kalam ke seene me.

Nazme utrin to utarati gain mujh me
Aayten ubhari to
Ubhartin hi gain tum tak

Ankhen utthi to dekha
Qayanaat jal rahi thi.

Jab ye jhukin
To tum the aur kuchh bhi nahin

Kalam se kaaynaat jo ulekhi tumne
ik gehre saans mein us kalaam ko sameta humne
Aag ne hashr kya kar rakha hai zamaane ka
haath mein haath liye khare hain yun chaurahe par
Dhuein ki kaalikh mein mohabbat pareshaan hui
Shor-O-Gul hai, har modh par, har chaurahe par
Mukaddar ki shikaytein, bikhre armaanon ke kisse
mera haath jo tere haath mein ugalta hai sukoon ke gunche
sulagte junoon ko baandh rakha hai jo humne-tumne
