ek kahani

pahadon se ghiri wadi mein, patthar se bani ek chaar-diwari
aur is diwar ke andar kai kamre

hazaron sal ki viraniyan odhe khade hain
inhi viran kamron mein se ek kamra

jahan tin aadmi ek chaarpai par
khud apne-ap se bahar nikal kar is tarah baithe hue hain

jaise apne aap mein the hi nahin
wo tin hain

bas tin
aur chautha mujassama hai

jo bahar istada hai
har ek shai par andhere

aur andhere par sisakti khamushi ka khauf tari hai
magar wo tinon raushan hain

mukammal taur par raushan
na un par khauf ka saya

na koi huzn ki parchhain
wo baaten kar rahe hain

aur hawa sakit khadi hai
gosh-bar-awaz

lekin un ki baaten be-sada hain
na-gahan un tin mein se ek ki nazren hawa ki samt uthti hain

to wo ghabra ke phir se chalne lagti hai
hawa chalte hi un ki guftugu aawaz mein tabdil hoti hai

aur us ki tez lahren sehn ki jaanib lapakti hain
to ek saya sa lahraata hai

saya dekh kar un tin mein se ek
mare khauf ke apne badan ko odh leta hai

dusre din subh jab khurshid ki kirnon ne darwaze pe dastak di
to kamre mein wo do the

aur
bahar do mujassame
