an-jaana dukh

hare-bhare lahraate patton wala ped
indar se kis darja boda kitna khokhla ho sakta hai

mujh se puchho
main ek aise hi chhitnar ke niche baitha

us ki chhanw se apne safar ki
dhup ka dukhda phul raha tha

aane wale waqt ki thandi gili mitti rol raha tha
apne aap se bol raha tha

main bhi kitna khush-qismat hun
jiwan ki sunsan dagar par

mere kitne yar khade hain ped ki surat
itne mein ek jhonka aaya

ye jhonka chandi ki kan ke andar se ho kar aaya tha
ek hi pal mein

ped ki chhaal ne rangat badli
ek hi pal mein

har patte ki shakl hui matyali gadli
shan shan karti shakhon mein ek zahrili sargoshi jagi

chhanw chhat kar ped ke tan ki jaanib bhagi
dil ye manzar dekh ke sahma kanpa roya

chaaron aur se uthti ek anjaane dukh ki dhul mein khoya
zahar sa ek rag rag mein samaya

itne mein ek aur jhumta jhonka aaya
ye jhonka khud-gharzi ke kohsar pe mandla kar aaya tha

bas itna hi yaad hai mujh ko
kaise aur kab ped gira ye ped se puchho

mujhe nikalo
us bude aur khokhle ped ke niche dab kar

mere sath mera ehsas bhi mar jaega
jo bhi ye manzar dekhega dar jaega

dekhne walon ko is khauf se is sadme is gham se bacha lo
mujhe nikalo

aainda main chhitnar ko apna yar nahin samjhunga
kabhi kabhi mil jaane wali chhanw ko pyar nahin samjhunga
