Amitabh Bachchan, himself penned down a poem for his well wishers, which he posted on his blog. Describing the panic situation that took place after his visit to the hospital, Big B, in his poetic language addressed the media frenzy and admitted to being scared at first last evening, which made him hide is face at the back of a muffler. Furthermore, he said how he considers the hospital to be nothing less than a temple and expresses his gratitude to the doctors, for if it hadn’t been for them, he wouldn’t have been up and about today. Take a look at the heartfelt poem below :
जी हाँ जनाब मैं अस्पताल जाता हूँ
बचपन से ही इस प्रतिकिया को जीवित रखता हूँ ,
वहीं तो हुई थी मेरी प्रथम पयदाइशि चीत कार
वहीं तो हुआ था अविरल जीवन का मेरा स्वीकार
इस पवित्र स्थल का अभिनंदन करता हूँ मैं
जहाँ इस्वर बनाई प्रतिमा की जाँच होती है तय
धन्य है वे ,
धन्य हैं वे
जिन्हें आत्मा को जीवित रखने का सौभाग्य मिला
भाग्य शाली हैं वे जिन्हें , उन्हें सौभाग्य देने का सौभाग्य ना मिला
बनी रहे ये प्रतिक्रिया अनंत जन जात को
ना देखें ये कभी अस्वस्थता के चंडाल को
पहुँच गया आज रात्रि को Lilavati के प्रांगण में
देव समान दिव्यों के दर्शन करने के लिए मैं
विस्तार से देवी देवों से परिचय हुआ
उनकी वचन वाणी से आश्रय मिला
निकला जब चौ पहियों के वाहन में बाहर ,
‘रास्ता रोको’ का ऐलान किया पत्र मंडली ने जर्जर
चाका चौंद कर देने वाले हथियार बरसाते हैं ये
मानो सीमा पार कर देने का दंड देना चाहते हैं वे
समझ आता है मुझे इनका व्यवहार ;
समझ आता है मुझे, इनका व्याहार
प्रत्येक छवि वार है ये उनका व्यवसाय आधार ,
बाधा ना डालूँगा उनकी नित्य क्रिया पर कभी
प्रार्थना है बस इतनी उनसे मगर , सभी
नेत्र हीन कर डालोगे तुम हमारी दिशा दृष्टि को
यदि यूँ अकिंचन चलाते रहोगे अपने अवज़ार को
हमारी रक्षा का है बस भैया, एक ही उपाय ,
इस बुनी हुई प्रमस्तिष्क साया रूपी कवच के सिवाय
– Amitabh Bachchan
