Anghraata

main parda girane laga hun

palak se palak ko

milane laga hun

zamana mere KHwabon mein aa ke

rone laga hai

main unTon ko le aaun

aaKHir kahan ja ke charne lage hain

jahan par

parinde paron ko nahin kholte hain

jahan sarhaden hain falak jaisi qaem

wahan panw dharne lage hain

main unTon ko le aaun wapas

main bheDon ko duh lun

kai maon ki chhatiyan

chhipkili ki tarah

sukhe sine ki chhat se

ek arse se laTki hui hain

unhen ja ke moh lun

kai faKHtaen

jo nikli thin kah kar

ki aaengi wapas

chamakti dopahron se pahle

wo marg-asa andhe KHalaon mein

bhaTki hui hain

gadhe wala

be-wazan rui ko lade hue

shahr se lauT aaya hai

halki thi rui

bahut bhaari din tha

tala-doz tajir ne moti bhi

lane ka us se kaha tha

jo rangin urusana joDe mein jaDne hain

nadan

dulhan ko bhi malum hai

tez barish to honi hai

ole to paDne hain

nazuk si Tahni pe jhula hai

jhule ki rassi hai nazuk

so rassi mein bal aaKHir-kar paDe hain

andhraata baDhne laga hai

machhere ko dariya se wapas bhi aana hai

tannur mein gili shaKHen jalani hain

tannur ki tarah

KHwabon-bhari jal rahi hai

use bhi kushada bhare bazuon mein to aana hai!!
