awara taishe

jane wo konsi sadi thi ...,
jab taishon ki awargi mjhko aksar udaas rkhti,
jigar se aksar khoon rista
lab sile se rehte
ankhen dhuli dhuli si rehti

wo pheri wali jab bhoori ankhen jhapakti
aur muskanon k daam giran btati
to darwaze yakdam jhura uthte
khirkhion mai qufl lgte
aur mai wapas lot ata

spaat chehron se meri barson ki ashnai
kaheen kbhi jo qehqaha sunta
to jaan jese laraz uthti...

jab samander k paas betha
mai rone lgta
to ansoo jese rooth jate
phr mai samandron se pani udhaar lekr
khaton pe aksar tapkaya krta.

wo mjhse khti mere ansooun mai karwahat ghuli he,
wo sach hi khti.

Aur aaj jab mai sache dil se
kisi khiladi ki performance pe
taaliyaan baja rha hun

wo bhi saamne pole k paas,
tamashaiyon mai kaheen khari he.
