क्या देखती है अनु?

अनु को चीज़ों से है प्यार,

बड़ी चीज़ों से और छोटी से भी।

पहाड़ों पर घर,

दीवार पर चीटियाँ।

चीज़ें रसोईघर में,

चीज़ें अलमारी पर।

चीज़ें बाग-बगीचों में,

और चीज़ें उस पर।

अनु देखती है नमूने

और आकार हर जगह।

छिप नहीं सकतीं चीज़ें

है तेज़ उसकी नज़र!

सोनपंखी के धब्बे,

पेड़ों के तने में दिखते गोले,

बनी हुई चीज़ों के आकार,

मधुमक्खी के छत्ते में बने नन्हे घर।

पत्तों पर रेखाएँ बनीं,

जैसी उसके हाथ पर।

सागर किनारे की गीली रेत में,

निशान उसके पैरों के।

पानी में लहरें,

घुँघराले बालों में लहर।

पेड़ों की छाल पर उगते कुकुरमुत्ते,

हवा में उड़ते हुए पंछी।

किताब में छपे हुए शब्द जो

उसे कहीं भी ले जा सकते हैं,

नए रंगों से भरपूर,

नई कहानियाँ, नए चेहरे।

चीज़ों का वह रंग जो

उसे सबसे प्यारा है- लाल!

छोटे भाई बुबू के सिर पर उगते

तीन छोटे घुँघराले बाल।

पापा ने जो आज बनाया

उस केक पर छिड़की शक्कर,

चमक रही है ऐसे

मानो दूर तारे हों जैसे।

बादलों में छुपे हैं खरगोश

फुदकते फिरते हैं आसमान में

परछाई से बन सकता है हाथी

आओ, बनाओ तुम भी।

अनु ख़ुश है सब चीज़ों से

देखती रहती है जिनको वह।

क्या तुम भी वह सब देखोगे

जो देखती है छोटी अनु?
