Jab Maine Usse Poocha – Pyaar Kya Hota Hai?

Maine usse casually poocha,

“Tere liye pyaar kya hota hai?”

Woh thodi der chup rahi…

Fir halki si muskaan ke saath kehne lagi:

Pyaar?

Pyaar ek feeling nahi hoti sirf.

Yeh ek aadat ban jaati hai… kisi ek ko har cheez mein sochne ki.

Pyaar woh good morning text nahi,

balki subah uthte hi kisi ka khayal aana hota hai.

Pyaar woh date pe jaana nahi,

balki kisi ke saath silence mein bhi comfortable feel karna hota hai.

Pyaar matlab kisi ke saath perfect hona nahi,

balki imperfect hokar bhi accepted feel karna hota hai.

Pyaar har waqt “I love you” kehna nahi hota,

balki uska khayal rakhna, uski baatein yaad rakhna,

aur jab zarurat ho, uske saath khud se pehle khada hona hota hai.

Pyaar fights se darta nahi,

woh un fights ke baad bhi ruka rehta hai.

Pyaar uss person ko possess karne ki feeling nahi deta,

balki usse azaadi ke saath pyaar karne ki himmat deta hai.

Pyaar kabhi plan karke nahi hota.

Woh toh ek normal moment mein chhup jaata hai.

Jaise kisi ka “take care” bolna

ya “aaj thak gaye ho na?” kehkar chai banana.

Pyaar… sirf pal nahi hota.

Woh ek aadmi ki aadat ban jaata hai… uski har har cheez mein base hue mehsoos hota hai.

Aur sabse important baat?

Pyaar tabhi hota hai, jab tum uske bina bhi complete ho,

phir bhi uske saath hona chaho.

Na zarurat se, na majboori se…

Bas ek connection se.

Woh rukti hai, aur aakhri mein kehti hai:

“Pyaar kisi ek insaan ko choose karna nahi hota…

Pyaar har din usse dubara choose karna hota hai.”

Aur main bas chup reh gya.

Kyunki shayad, mere sawaal ka sabse khoobsurat jawab mil chuka tha.
