ehsas

phir mujhe aisā lagā

jaise kāġhaz par siyāhī phailne se

lafz gaDmaD ho ga.e hoñ

aa.ina dhuñdlā gayā ho

jaane pahchāne hue sab log

jaise ajnabī se ban ga.e hoñ

mere kamre meñ paḌī

Table ke ḳhānoñ se nikal kar

ḳhat havā meñ uḌ rahe hoñ

box meñ rakhā huā rūmāl

sho.ala ban gayā ho

barf ke tūdoñ tale dab kar zehn bhī

munjamid hone ke badle jal rahā ho

phir mujhe aisā lagā

jaise maiñ apne se bāġhī ho gayā huuñ

apne hī uupar maiñ hamla kar rahā huuñ

sochtā huuñ

maiñ ne shāyad kal tujhe kuchh kah diyā thā

tū ne bhī mujh ko sunāyā thā bahut kuchh

aur phir donoñ hī ham chup ho ga.e the

phir mujhe aisa laga

jaise kaghaz par siyahi phailne se

lafz gaDmaD ho gae hon

aaina dhundla gaya ho

jaane pahchane hue sab log

jaise ajnabi se ban gae hon

mere kamre mein paDi

Table ke KHanon se nikal kar

KHat hawa mein uD rahe hon

box mein rakha hua rumal

shoala ban gaya ho

barf ke tudon tale dab kar zehn bhi

munjamid hone ke badle jal raha ho

phir mujhe aisa laga

jaise main apne se baghi ho gaya hun

apne hi upar main hamla kar raha hun

sochta hun

main ne shayad kal tujhe kuchh kah diya tha

tu ne bhi mujh ko sunaya tha bahut kuchh

aur phir donon hi hum chup ho gae the
