bad-shuguni

ajab ghadi thi
kitab kichad mein gir padi thi

chamakte lafzon ki maili aankhon mein uljhe aansu bula rahe the
magar mujhe hosh hi kahan tha

nazar mein ek aur hi jahan tha
nae nae manzaron ki khwahish mein apne manzar se kat gaya hun

nae nae daeron ki gardish mein apne mehwar se hat gaya hun
sila jaza khauf na-umidi

umid imkan be-yaqini
hazar khanon mein bat gaya hun

ab is se pahle ki raat apni kamand dale ye chahta hun ki laut jaun
ajab nahin wo kitab ab bhi wahin padi ho

ajab nahin aaj bhi meri rah dekhti ho
chamakte lafzon ki maili aankhon mein uljhe aansu

ajab nahin mere lafz mujh ko muaf kar den
hawa-o-hirs-o-hawas ki sab gard saf kar den

ajab ghadi thi
kitab kichad mein gir padi thi

a bad omen
