KHud-kushi
ek aise sarwey ke mutabiq
jo mere dost
apne dil ko mausul hone wali
ghair-zaruri KHabron ko jama kar ke
murattab kar rahe hain
shahr mein koi KHud-kushi nahin kar raha
mohabbat mein nakaami par finail pine wali laDkiyan
aur naukri na milne par
baDe bhai ke licence-yafta pistol se
KHud-kushi karne wale laDke
bahut din se nazar nahin aae
dupaTTe ka phanda bana kar mar jaane wali
be-aulad dulhanen
aur tawil bimari se tang aa kar
KHud ko jala kar halak karne wale
udheD-umar mariz
napaid ho gae hain
shahr mein ab jis ko bhi KHud-kushi karni ho
use bahut ziyaada tag-o-dau nahin karni paDti
wo bahar nikalta hai
aur thoDi der ke liye
nishana-bazon wali yellow cab ka
intizar karta hai
ya jab us ki saDak ke donon taraf
KHub firing ho rahi ho
wo bila-irada balcony mein ja ke khaDa ho jata hai
jab log KHud-kushi karna chahte hain
yaqin kijiye
kisi jinsi imtiyaz ke baghair
rang, nasl aur zaban ke farq ko KHatir mein na late hue
goliyan har jagah
unhen DhunDh nikalti hain
