baba

tumhaari jaanib dua ke moti rawana karte
dikha ye sakte
ki ladli ki sunahri aankhen bhari hui thin
wo ek chitthi ki jis mein khud ko dilasa dete


bilak rahi thi
wo bikhre safhat diary ke
ki jin mein tum par likhi thin nazmen
bhare the ashaar


kaise bhejen
ki tum to mitti ke ghar mein ja ke base hue ho
zamin walon ko aa ke dekho
ki bin tumhaare


hamari iden bhi matamon ki tarah guzarti hain bain karte
udasiyon ki siyah bhatti mein jalte bujhte
ki aasmani bashaaraton ka jo silsila tha
wo ek muddat se tod rakkha hai


jod dalo
tumhaare khwabon ki muntazir hai tumhaari lado
so is se pahle safar ke asbab bandh le wo
samaaton ko sada suna do
