afsos

magar hum ne dekha
ki viran ghati ka daman bhara tha

bahut sari chizen
hawaon ke panw se uljhi hui thin

duaon ki
khali aur aundhi padi shishiyan

aur tuti hui panjgana namazen
nawafil-o-siyam ki sakht dhaalen

masajid ke raston mein todi gai
jutiyon

aur qadm-dar-qadam
nekiyon ki qataren

wazaif-o-darud-o-munajat ke
ek ribbon mein bandhe

khudawand-e-alam ki rassi ke tukde
aur aisi bahut sari chizen

khuda ki khudai mein bikhri hui thin
ki jaise yahan

raat thahre hue karwan ko
ab un ki zarurat na thi

ki bakhshish ka khali kanastar
bahut bhar gaya tha

magar nek namon ki phenki hui
bahut sari chizon ke

is dher mein
koi hamsae ka dard

us par bahaya gaya garm aansu nahin tha
koi bhuk ko katne wala dildar chaqu nahin tha

sakhawat ka khamosh hath
aur shaqawat pe uthta hua koi bazu nahin tha

bahut sari chizen thin
lekin kahin bhi taraazu nahin tha
