…the sweetest mannerisms ever found in the world of words! Reciprocation of these beautiful words builds strong relations. Words are the most powerful medium of communication in this era of social media as well as socialization in our own surroundings. Words can break the barriers of place, distance and time and could make powerful emotional connections.
Words can build castles of emotions and can even destroy empires as well. Uttering them rightly makes the difference in your survival in true sense. It’s not only about being sophisticated in our idiosyncrasies but also shows how much we have evolved since eons of becoming human.
However, when words get weird, they not only break hearts but also relations. The poem portrays the battle of emotions induced after a war of words.
कुछ उँगलियों से बस बह निकले,
कुछ शब्द चुने, कुछ स्वयं बुने
फिर रच डाले कई रिश्ते ||
अलौकिक से शब्दों से बुना
कुछ लौकिक, भौतिक सा रिश्ता,
शब्दों पे खड़ा, शब्दों का महल,
फिर शब्दवार से ध्वस्त हुआ |
जब निकले कुछ बेलाग शब्द,
वो चुभे ह्रदय में, फाँस बने,
शब्दों से जुड़े थे जो रिश्ते
शब्दों की ही फ़िर भेंट चढ़े |
शब्दों ने किया जब शब्दघात,
विद्रूप हंसी और अट्टहास,
फिर शब्द बहे बनकर आँसू
मुस्कान बनी फ़िर आर्तनाद |
कुछ तीर बने फ़िर ज़हर बुझे
आँखों में चुभे फ़िर आग बने,
शब्दों ने जलाया है जिसको,
जलकर बुझे, और राख बने |
कुछ जबरन गुदे हथेली पर
कुछ दीवारों में चुनवाया,
शब्दों की शक्ति से रिश्तों को
वाग्जाल में उलझाया |
अब शब्द हैं निःशब्द, चुप
संवेदनाएं भी रो पड़ीं,
शब्दों की एक जंग छिड़ी
और शब्दों की ही हार हुई |
Beautiful
Thank you.
Agree totally with you. By using these simple but powerful words from the heart, many things can be conquered.
Welcome to TSS . Well said. We often forget that and indulge ourselves into a mess. Thank you so much for commenting. 🙂
No Avinash, you are mistaken. “शब्द” used here (in the title) is plural only. “शब्द” is such a word which is used as singular and plural both. As, “mere shabd” is being translated as “my words”. If I say “mere shabd bematlab nahin” it’s plural, whereas I can also say “mere shabdon ka matlab samjho”, it’s also plural, but when I say “mera ek ek shabd matlab rakhta hai” here “shabd” becomes singular.
So, it all depends upon usages. Hope I’m clear now. 🙂
Thank you for clearing my doubt 🙂
I got it.
You are most welcome. 🙂
words are powerful. They can create or they can destroy 🙂 so one must choose them wisely. Love the poem ma’m 🙂

Words can create words do destroy….so beautifully composed Sangeeta. I love reading both your’s and Maitreni’s work. She brings in the freshness of youth and you share the experience called life 🙂
Thank you so much Shweta. Well said, words have the power to create as well destroy. And all we need to use them skillfully and compassionately.
Thank you so much for appreciating our work. Means much. 🙂
बहुत ही शक्तिशाली अभिव्यक्ति, संगीता.
कभी शब्द कहर ढाते हैं तो कभी शब्दों का अभाव रिश्तों को नुकसान पहुंचा जाता है. कभी-कभी मौन रहना शब्दों का इस्तेमाल करने से ज़्यादा नुकसान पहुँचा सकता है- जैसे कि अपने ऊपर हो रहे अन्याय पर चुप रहना.
मगर मै मानवीय-सम्बन्धों के परिप्रेष्य मे लिखी गई इस कविता के मूल संदेश से सहमत हूँ.
ताक़त शब्दों मे नहीं, कहने या लिखने वाले मे होती है. और प्रतीत होता है कि उपरोक्त पद्य का लेखक शब्दों में ताकत भरने में बहुत माहिर है.
धन्यवाद साकेत जी |
कविता आपको पसंद आयी, इसके लिए अनेक आभार |
बिलकुल सत्य कहा आपने, शब्दों की ताक़त असीम होती है, पर आवश्यक है उनका सही उपयोग | शब्दों का उपयोग काम हो या ज़्यादा, सटीक शब्द हमेशा कारगर सिद्ध होते हैं.
प्रसंशा के लिए फिर से धन्यवाद |
