be-rabt

aankh bojhal hui
zard patte hawa mein bikharne lage

main teri samt aage badha aur phir
yun laga jaise yak-dam andhera sa chhane laga chaar su

dekhte dekhte ghup andhera hua
main tujhe dekhta rah gaya

teri taswir jab dekhte dekhte
ghup andhere mein khone lagi to bina waqt zaea kiye

ehtiyatan tujhe main bhi apne tasawwur ki qirtas par
ek purane brush jo ki khud bhi tasawwur ki mearaj tha ko ajab be-qarari mein

ujlat zada hath mein le ke mahir musawwir ki manind malne laga
phir kuchh aisa hua

sab badalne laga
dekhte dekhte ghup andhera chhata

aur har su ujala hua
phir teri samt nazren uthin

ek lamha to makus qirtas par tere chehre pe thahri rahin aur phir
teri peshani ke thik upar teri mang sidhi sadak ke mushabah tere gesuon se guzarti dikhi

aur phir ek muflis gharib-ul-watan ki tarah
raushni se muzayyan sadak par khiraman khiraman chala

aur phir yun hua ki musafir ghane gesuon mein kahin kho gaya
