dastaKHat

kisii ko chunte vaqt

ham ek darvaaze par dastaKHat karte hai.n

aur hame.n maa'luum nahii.n hotaa

is ke piichhe raushnii hai

yaa vo a.ndheraa

jo raushnii kaa bhes badal kar kha.Daa hai

ham chehra dekhte hai.n

aur chehre aksar mukammal sach nahii.n hote

dil ek charaaG jalaataa hai

'aql diivaar se Tek lagaa kar

hamaaraa tamaashaa dekhtii rahtii hai

aur andar se ek aavaaz ubhartii hai

chaaho

magar KHud ko mat kho denaa

ham is aavaaz ko KHaamosh kar dete hai.n

KHvaahisho.n ke kaaGaz par

dalaa.il likhte hai.n

aur aage ba.Dh jaate hai.n

phir hade.n narm pa.Dne lagtii hai.n

sarhade.n tahliil ho jaatii hai.n

ko.ii itnaa achchhaa lagtaa hai

ki zaat kaa vazn kam hone lagtaa hai

ko.ii itnaa qariib aataa hai

ki ruuh me.n apnii jagah banaa letaa hai

yahii.n se tavaazun TuuTtaa hai

mohabbat

jab had se guzar jaa.e

'ibaadat nahii.n rahtii

hisaar ban jaatii hai

ham dau.Dte hai.n

be-parkhe

be-aa.nke

apnii hii banaa.ii hu.ii manzil kii taraf

aur raaste me.n

KHvaab Thokar khaa kar girne lagte hai.n

KHvaahishe.n saa.ns chho.D detii hai.n

KHushiyaa.n samt bhuul jaatii hai.n

phir bhii ham dau.Dte rahte hai.n

ye duniyaa

hamaarii raftaar kii paaband nahii.n

ye aksar achchhe ko

us ke bar-'aks natiije me.n Dhaal detii hai

mehnat kaa phal

hamesha miiThaa nahii.n hotaa

kabhii vo shakl badal kar

hathelii par zaKHm rakh detaa hai

aur jab manzil

hame.n qubuul karne se inkaar kar detii hai

ham diivaaro.n ko qusuur-vaar Thahraate hai.n

raasto.n par muqadma chalaate hai.n

duniyaa ko be-vafaa kahte hai.n

magar us lamhe

ko.ii nahii.n suntaa

kyuu.nki safar ke aaGaaz me.n

ek aavaaz thii

jo hame.n sun.nii chaahiye thii
