Mukhota
“हर दिन एक नकाब पहन कर निकलता है,
वो इंसान, ख़ुद की पहचान से डरता है”
मुखौटा …. हर चेहरे पर चढ़ा है , और अक्सर हम खुद ही इससे अनजान भी होते हैं…..
दिल चाहता कुछ और है , मगर हम ज़िंदगी में करते कुछ और है, कभी समाज के दबाव में , कभी किसी के प्रभाव में या फिर कभी किसी अभाव में
इसी दोहरी ज़िंदगी को ज़रा नज़दीक से देखने की कोशिश , कुछ खुद को समझाने की इच्छा …..
या फिर दबे हुए भावों को ही हमने पहना दिया है ……एक मजबूरी का मुखौटा
वो इंसान, ख़ुद की पहचान से डरता है”
मुखौटा …. हर चेहरे पर चढ़ा है , और अक्सर हम खुद ही इससे अनजान भी होते हैं…..

इसी दोहरी ज़िंदगी को ज़रा नज़दीक से देखने की कोशिश , कुछ खुद को समझाने की इच्छा …..

Rajiv Kejriwal's Mukhota is a collection of Hindi poetry. With eighty-nine poems, it captures varying facets of life and living. The majority of poems are simple and easy to understand for anyone familiar with the language, although some sophisticated phrases are thrown in here and there (or maybe it's just me, since my Hindi reading is rusty).
Because of the variety of themes, different poems may appeal to different readers according to their own thoughts and life experiences. My favorite ones were 'विचारों की आंधी' (Vichaaro ki aandhi/A tempest of thoughts):
"मौत तो आसान है
अभी कुछ ज़िन्दगी भी
तो जीने दे" (Death is easy, let me live my life now),
'हिसाब' (Hisaab/Score),
'खुली कैद' (Khuli Kaid/Open Cage):
"अपने ही डर से कैद हर कोई
खुल के जीते कब हैं
सलाखें हो ना हो
कैद ज़िन्दगी में सब हैं" (Everyone is in a cage made of their own fears),
and 'प्रतिबिंब' (Pratibimb/Reflection):
The narrator explains how he stays away from his reflection and all confrontations to avoid looking deeper into his thoughts and getting lost.
Additionally, the book is illustrated with line drawings, like the poem titled 'मुखौटा'(Mukhota/Mask) is accompanied by the below image
and the one titled 'छाँव' (Chhaav/Shade) has this one 
The simplicity lent a quiet beauty to the written content.
Anyone with a penchant for poetry with philosophical undertones should definitely give this one a try!

✨Beautiful flow of verses which touches diverse aspects of life. I liked the sensitivity, emotions and expression in each of the poems. Heart touching and thought provoking book.
✨Each verse has diverse meaning for readers and connects to inner feelings. Some of the poems I went through couple of times as I liked the way these have been narrated.
✨The poems are quite short, yet can deeply touch the readers and they will be bound to read some of the poems again.
✨The language used is quite rich. however it is not very difficult to understand. Each poem carries an in depth meaning which increases the beauty of the style and content.
✨I would strongly recommend for all the avid fans and Hindi poetry lovers to read this beautiful and mesmerising composition.

यँहूी आती रहेंगी दिक्कतें तू कोई संगीत तो बना
ताल दे, नयी कोई सरगम तो बना
इस किताब में कुल 89 कविताएं हैं जैसे त्रिमूर्ति, मेहमान, दरार, रैन, हक, सपने, मंथन, हंसी और आंसू, सोच, मुखौटा इत्यादि।
कुछ कविताएं का व्याख्या करना चाहुंगा। कवि कहते हैं कि हमारे कुछ सपने बचपन मे छूट जाती हैं तो कुछ जिम्मेदारियों में छीन जाती हैं। किस किस को याद दिलाऊं, वो सपने कहां से लाऊं।
हर एक कविताओं में कुछ छिपे हुए पहलु हैं। जिसे कवि ने बहुत अच्छे तरीके से व्यक्त किया है। कुछ कविताएं ऐसी लगेंगी जैसे मानो आप वो आपके लिए ही लिखीं गई हों। काफी स्पष्ट शब्दों में इन्होंने कविताओं को लिखा है। लेखन शैली भी शानदार है।

इस किताब में कई छोटी-छोटी कविताऐं हैं। स्कूल के बाद मैंने कोई हिंदी किताब नहीं पढ़ी थी, तो इसे पढ़कर मज़ा आया।
कुछ शीर्षक बहुत अच्छे हैं, जैसे "खुली कैद।" मेरी हिंदी काफ़ी अच्छी है, लेकिन कुछ उर्दू शब्द समझने में मुश्किल हुई।
इस किताब का पूरा आनंद लेने के लिए इसे आराम से पढ़ें। ये कविताएं हमें याद दिलाती हैं कि ज़िंदगी को गंभीरता से ना लें क्योंकि हमारा समय सीमित है।
हर कविता अलग पन्ने पर है और लाइनों के बीच में अच्छा खासा स्पेस है, जिससे पढ़ना आसान हो जाता है। कवि के भाव दिल को छू जाते हैं।
कुल मिलाकर यह किताब पढ़ना एक अच्छा अनुभव था। मेरी इच्छा है कि आगे भी ऐसी हिंदी किताबें पढ़ने का अवसर मिले।

"यह जिंदगी है साहेब
यहाँ हर खुशी का हिसाब देना पड़ता है
पल भर खुशी के बदले
महीनों रोना पड़ता है"
खूबसूरत खयालों से सजी किताब
इस कविता संग्रह मे कुल ८९ कविताएं है और प्रत्येक कविता जैसे कड़वी सच्चाई और प्रकृति के स्पर्श का मिलाप हो। इस कविता संग्रह को पढ़ते समय मुझे गुलज़ार साहब और महाकवि दिनकर जी की याद आई। इसका कारण ये की कुछ कविताएं उनकी लय में या उनसे प्रतीत होकर जन्मी है। या शायद ये मेरा खयाल हो।

Relate each and every word.
इस पुस्तक में कुल 89 कविताएँ हैं। बहुत छोटे से। प्रत्येक कविता के केवल 1 से 2 पृष्ठ। लघु है लेकिन वास्तव में आकर्षक भी। विषयवस्तु: वास्तविकता, दुखद, कुछ वास्तविक अनुभव से प्रेरक हैं। मुझे प्रभावित करने वाली कविताएँ हैं: इंद्रधनुष, रैन। इन्द्रधनुष इस बात पर आधारित है कि लोग चीजों को कैसे अनुभव करते हैं। रैन, डर से भरी होती है जो आपकी आँखों में उदास जीवन ला सकती है। तीसरा महमान, जो प्रेरित करता है और संदेश देता है कि खुद से कैसे लड़ें।
कुछ लोग ऐसे भी होते हैं जो बहुत से काम करना चाहते हैं लेकिन वह टूटे हुए सपनों को पूरा नहीं कर पाते हैं। 'सपने' कविता में यही दिखाया गया है। आप आराम, शांत और कभी-कभी आश्चर्यजनक रूप से अपनी कहानी महसूस करते हैं। हर कविता में ऐसे ही गहरे विचार और अर्थ हैं। मुझे लगता है कि इन कविताओं के माध्यम से आप अपने अनुभव को व्यक्त कर सकते हैं। प्रत्येक शब्द को पढ़ें और संबंधित करें।
There is total 89 poems in this book. Very short only 1 to 2 pages each poem. Short one but really engaging. Themes are reality, sad, some real experiences, inspiring.

What do you do when you have reading slumps? Do you try other genres to refresh your mind? I often do that, but I had never read Hindi poetry book so far.
I was reading a memoir, and in between the book, I was feeling a little bit distracted from reading. Then one of my friends suggests reading this poetry book, though I am not a poetry reader, still, I picked up this for a change and it came to me as a refreshing read.
This book moved to bigger premises, it compiled 89 poems that mirror human emotions and lives. The diversity notch up this book.
Sometimes these poems thundering with their' strong words, sometimes ponderous with their' rich perspectives. With sensitive versatility, the author touched the right cord of your heart. The things that you keep pushing to your inner boundary, the things that were always kept behind the curtain, flowing here fearless and abruptly make you bound to the book.
These poems are really short that's why I loved them so much. It never occurred to me that I am not a poetry person and it keeps compelling me to finish the book in one sit.
The author used rich Hindi words here for these heartwarming poems, but, it's not so difficult to read.

Title: Mukhota
Author: Rajeev Kejriwal
Language: Hindi
Genre: Poetry
Format: Kindle
To begin with the cover of the book is very interesting and completely justifies the title. This book is a collection of poems based on different themes. All the topics are very relatable.
The author did a great job when it comes to expressing the emotions and conveying the message to the readers.
The poems explore multiple emotions that one could eaily relate to. Some of my favorite lines from "यकीन" are:
"माना कठिन है, स्तिथि संगीन है
पर तू कहाँ किसी से कम
तेरी काबिलियत के कायल सब
तुझ पर सम्पणू यकीन है "
These lines are all about believing in ourselves. Whatever the situation is, we should always keep faith in ourselves.
The book is short, the poems are heart touching. The writing style is beautiful. I really enjoyed reading it.

This unique book in Hindi literature is so good that I read all the poems in only four sittings. There are more than eighty poems in this book and each poem deals with different emotions. Language is simple and lucid, hence making it beginner-friendly.
My favourite poem was "Safar". Every poetry has something to learn, something to feel, something to heal.
The great command over the language makes you want to read more. However, there is no particular rhythm followed in the book.
If you are reading this, dont rush for pages, live the depth of this book. I recommend this book to all the Hindi poetry lovers out there!

“Every day, a person steps out wearing a mask , afraid of his true self.”
That’s exactly what “मुखौटा” dives into the layers we wear, knowingly or unknowingly, in the name of survival, acceptance, and emotional protection. 💭💔
This book is a soulful collection of 89 beautifully penned Hindi poems touching upon universal themes like dreams, time, identity, emotions, and life’s silent struggles. The writing is simple yet profound , the kind that speaks directly to the heart. 💌
Some of my absolute favourites include: 🌿 Waqt – makes you reflect on moments lost and people who drift away...
🌅 Vo Shaam – a nostalgic wave of past memories vs present emptiness
💭 Soch & Gehraai – deep, philosophical, and soul-stirring
Each poem holds a special meaning, making you pause, think, and sometimes smile or cry or both at the same time. 🥹🖤
✨ The cover design is soft, dreamy and aligns so well with the emotional tone of the book. And the little illustrations inside? An absolute treat! 🌸
From the very first glance, the book’s cover draws you in. The soft pastel artwork of a person hiding their face with a mask, a lonely bench, and a blend of nature’s hues , it gives you a glimpse into what lies inside: solitude, honesty, and raw human emotions. 🎭🍂
Rajeev Kejriwal has done a brilliant job of pouring raw, heartfelt emotions into simple yet striking words. His honesty and boldness shine throughout and that’s what makes this book stand out. 🌟
If you’re someone who enjoys Hindi poetry, or just wants to start reading poetry that actually connects with your soul this is the book you need. 📚🔥

If you’re someone who enjoys Hindi poetry, or just wants to start reading poetry that actually connects with your soul this is the book you need. 📚🔥

When I picked up Mukhota, I honestly just wanted a light Hindi read. Didn’t think it would stay with me this much. But by the time I finished, a few poems had quietly found their place in my heartIt’s been so long since I read something in Hindi, and this one just reminded me how powerful simple words can be.
There are 89 poems in the book, and each one feels like a small piece of real life love, pain, hope, fear, the things we hide behind a smile… everything. Some poems are so short, yet they just hit you straight. A few lines kept echoing in my mind even after I finished reading.
What I genuinely liked is that nothing feels forced. The emotions are raw, real. The author has written about things we all feel but rarely say out loud. The language is rich but still easy to get you don’t have to be a poetry person to connect with it.
There were moments while reading when I just stopped and thought, “yes, I’ve felt this too.” It’s that real. It took me back to those school days when Hindi poems used to touch the heart in the simplest way no fancy words, just pure feelings.
Mukhota isn’t just a book of poems. Since Hindi is my mother tongue, I connected with it deeply. Some lines gave me answers I didn’t know I was looking for, and some revealed little rahasyas about life. It’s simple, real, and stays with you long after reading.

Mukhota is a beautifully woven collection of poems that captures the raw, unfiltered emotions of everyday life. Through simple yet deeply evocative verses, the poet takes readers on a journey through human feelings, personalities, and the duality we all live with. The “mask” that hides our true selves, as the title so fittingly suggests.
Across its 90 poems, including the one gracing the back cover, Mukhota explores love, pain, longing, nostalgia, and the quiet moments of realization that define our existence. Each poem feels intimate and relatable, written in a language that speaks directly to the heart without the burden of complexity.
One of the book’s most striking features is its artwork as each page is adorned with unique illustrations that perfectly complement the mood of the poem it accompanies. The visuals don’t just decorate the text; they enhance it, creating an immersive experience that feels both artistic and emotional.
As someone who has also read the author’s earlier work, I can say Mukhota feels more personal and mature, a quiet reflection on human nature and the contradictions we carry. It’s a book that welcomes every reader, whether a devoted lover of Hindi literature or someone just beginning to explore it.
Mukhota is not merely a collection of poems; it’s a mirror that reflects the smiles we show, the tears we hide, and the truths we often ignore.

यह नौसिखिए कविता पाठकों के साथ-साथ दिग्गजों से भी अपील करता है। जिस सादगी के साथ छंद बिखरे हैं। मैंने पिछले कुछ दिनों में इसे भागों में पढ़ा, और आज एक ही बैठक में इसे फिर से पढ़ा, जैसा कि मेरे दोस्त ने सुझाया है, और ऐसा जादू है कि मैं अभी और अधिक के लिए तरस रहा हूं ....
अगर उन्होंने इसका अनुवाद करने की योजना बनाई है, तो अनुवाद शायद शीर्षक को भी खराब कर देगा - ओह? अधिकांश अन्य कविताओं के विपरीत, जो एक ही विषय पर हैं और एक संदेश देने के लिए बड़ी संख्या में रूपांकनों का उपयोग करते हैं, इसमें 89 कविताएँ हैं जिनमें 89 संदेश हैं (प्रत्येक श्लोक के लिए एक संदेश) जिसमें मौसम, जीवन, अस्तित्व संबंधी संकट, उम्र बढ़ने, मृत्यु जैसे विषय शामिल हैं। , सुखवाद, आशावाद, हताशा, धर्म, जाति, वर्ग, राजनीति, स्वयं शराब, स्वयं श्लोक आदि और यह केवल रूपांकन है जो उन शब्दों के समान रहते हैं जहाँ तक मुझे पता है कि यह एक कोशिश करने के लिए मजेदार होना चाहिए। अंग्रेजी अनुवाद।
जिस तरह से श्री राजीव ने इस पुस्तक के साथ इतने सारे संदेश दिए हैं, मुझे बहुत अच्छा लगा। यह पढ़ने के लिए एक अचूक इलाज है। उन ् होंने इससे मानव जीवन के लगभग हर पहलू को छुआ है। क्या यह -
असली सुंदरता यह है कि उन्होंने इसे इतनी सरलता से अभी तक प्रभावी ढंग से व्यक्त किया है कि आप इसे नजरअंदाज नहीं कर सकते और उस पर सोचने के लिए बाध्य हो सकते हैं। आप किसी ऐसी किताब से और कुछ नहीं मांग सकते जो पढ़ने में इतनी अच्छी हो और सुनाने या सुनने में सुंदर हो।

मुखौटा' इस काव्य संग्रह के लिए सबसे सटीक शीर्षक है। आखिर, हम प्रायः अपने 'खुद' को छुपाने के लिए एक मुखौटा लगाए रहते हैं,क्या यह महज एक विवशता है या विडंबना?
राजीव जी की यह कृति पाठक के अपने जीवन को खोलकर सामने लाती है ,एक विशिष्ट अनुभव का सामान्यीकरण अर्थात साधारणीकरण। जीवन की गतिशीलता को अभिव्यक्त करने के लिए जिन जीवनानुभूतियों और शब्द- शैलियों का प्रयोग किया है वो वाक़ई सराहनीय है।
लगभग 90 कविताओं के इस संग्रह में इतिहास से वर्तमान तक कि यात्रा करता मानव व्यक्तित्व दिखाई दे रहा है,तथापि सम्पूर्ण काव्य संग्रह की केंद्रीय चेतना में जीवन के प्रवाह और निरंतरता की अनुगूंज को स्पष्ट सुना जा सकता है
वर्तमान जीवन की वास्तविकताओं को उभारती इन कविताओं में एक ओर अधंकार में डूबते जा रहे मानव व्यक्तित्व के प्रति चिंता का भाव है वहीं दूसरी ओर एक नए सवेरे की स्वर्णिम आभा को स्पर्श करने की प्रबल आकांक्षा का भाव है।
इसमें संकलित कविताएं एक ओर आधुनिकता के भावों से सराबोर हैं तो दूसरी ओर भारतीय संस्कृति और परंपरा के प्रति उनमे बहुत आदर भी द्रष्टव्य है। हमारी गौरवशाली परंपरा किस प्रकार हमारे वर्तमान को आकार दे रही है,इसका भी सफल भावंकन हुआ है इस कृति में।
मानव मन के भीतर अनुसंधान करती हुई यह कृति कई प्रच्छन्न आयामों को उद्घाटित करने हेतु प्रयत्नशील दिखाई पड़ती है।
अत्यंत गहरे भावबोधों की सरल और सहज शब्दों में अभिव्यक्ति रचनाकार की अपनी ख़ूबी है।
मौका मिलने पर एक बार जरूर इस कृति को पढ़िए।

"मुखौटा" by Rajiv Kejriwal is not just a book of poetry; it's a tender conversation with your own heart. Written in simple, easy language, it offers a beautifully deep look at the human experience the kind of read that feels both comforting and eye-opening.
The poems explore the masks we wear in life, often hiding our true selves because of stress, expectations, or fear. It gently pushes you to look at the difference between the person you are and the person you present to the world.
My absolute favorite pieces are
बेवफाई and लापता, they capture the emotions so beautiful
they are gonna live in my heart forever.
.
* 'Bewafai' highlights the pain of longing and disappointment in relationships, showing how sometimes, after a long wait, the very arrival of what we wanted feels too late. It’s a powerful exploration of missed timings and emotional fatigue. (Who's fault was ... it???)
.
* 'Laapta' speaks to the feeling of being lost the true self that has gone missing while trying to fit into society’s mold. It’s a sad, quiet reminder that we must find the part of us that disappeared. (I will get it .. but will it really be mine)
.
His poetry is a beautiful, deep read it’s both a mirror to your struggles and a gentle nudge toward finding hope and starting fresh.

“Mukhota” is a touching Hindi poetry book by Rajeev Kejriwal that looks at the masks we wear in life and the emotions we hide underneath them. The collection contains 89 beautiful poems that touch on themes of identity, love, solitude and the quiet struggles we all face. Kejriwal speaks from the heart in plain yet profoundly simple ways. Every single poem feels like a reflection of some suppressed emotion or truth that we don’t want to deal with. In many pieces, like "Waqt," "Vo Shaam" and "Soch & Gehrai," the energy stays with you long after reading due to its deep moments of reflection or anguish, and in the same breath, such tenderness is rarely found. Mukhota, as a book; through story flow or soft pastel design; was created to not just be read, but to be experienced so you can wrap yourself in honesty, empathy, and warmth. Mukhota reminds us and invites us to remove the masks we put on and let the world experience our true selves. Mukhota is a collection of Hindi poetry written with deep emotion and thoughtfulness by Rajeev Kejriwal. In this book, Kejriwal explores how each of us has developed masks throughout our lives and what emotions we hide behind those masks. It is poetry that is simple, soulful and incredibly relatable; poetry that speaks to the heart.
May 16, 2022
They say that each and every single face is born with hundreds and thousands of masks to go with it and sometimes, wearing this mask becomes quite exhausting.
There comes a point of time in our lives when this pretending starts become extremely fatiguing and if we are doing this for long enough, we may begin to forget who we are beneath it.
The book, Mukhota by Rajeev Kejriwal is a collection of more than eighty plus poems that showcase the different roles that we as individuals adopt every single day.
As can be seen, we may impersonate or be someone that we are not, either knowingly or unknowingly, and there are many reasons behind it such as wanting to be better, the peer or societal pressure, need to prove something.
Of all the poems, the one which I liked the most would be Yakeen. There are times when our fight is not with outwardly sources, but it is with our own selves and during such times, the poem motivates us to keep faith in our ability.
This was a nice collection with a lot of meaning and insightful teachings, hence I am going to give this book FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An wonderful poetry book
कुछ कविताएं जो मुझे अच्छी लगी
बेबसी कुछ ऐसी है की कुछ लिखना चाहता हूं पर शब्द नही मिल रहे,कुछ कहना चाहता हूं पर जज्बात कैसे बयां करूं समझ नही आ रहा ।
नक़ाब नए जमाने के असलियत को दिखलाती है और कहती है हर चेहरा एक नक़ाब औढ़े बैठा है और समय ढूंढता रहता है आपकी राज़ को दुनिया को बतलाने को और अपना काम निकलवाने को ।
सौदागर इस कविता में कुछ पंक्तियां है जो धर्म और रंग पे तमाचा कसता है
"नई दुनिया में,
रंगो को जात और धर्म में
बंटते देखा है
मंदिर मस्जिदों मे ईश्वर का सौदा होते देखे है ।"
एक कविता है पुस्तक में की
" यह जिंदगी है साहेब
यहां पर हर खुशी का हिसाब देना पड़ता है
पल भर के खुशी के लिए
महीनो भर रोना पड़ता है "
ये पंक्तियां दिल की बातों को बयां करती है मेरी और मुझे अहसास करा दिया की हर दिन एक नया जंग है, हर पल दुर्लभ है और इसलिए सोच समझ कर हर काम करिए ।
मुझे ये पुस्तक बहुत अच्छी लगी और कुछ कविताएं दिल को छू गई और मैं चाहूंगा कि मेरे हिंदी मित्र इस पुस्तक को एक बार जरूर पढ़ें ।
महफिल के कुछ पंक्तियां
"
फिर कुछ पल जी लेंगे
चुरा कर जिंदगी से,
फिर यादों के सहारे
काट लेंगे पल इंतजार के,
अगली मुलाकात के ।
"
एक कविता है आगाज़ उसमे कवि लिखते है की आप कोशिश तो करिए हर मंजिल आपको मिल जाएगी बस आपको अपना कदम नही रोकना है ।
