hijr ka visal

yun to sab ke apne apne khwab hain
jaise apna apna kafan

aur kaun kis ke kafan ki utran pahan sakta hai
lekin wo jo ek duje ki qabr mein so jaane ki

khwahish mein dafn hue
apne apne akele-pan ki udti mitti mein

kya un ke bhi apne apne khwab the
aao hum ik-duje ki khwabon ki tawil ghumti bhul-bhulayyon wali ghulam gardishon mein kho jaen

aur ek dusre ki chap ki sada-e-bazgasht ban jaen
aao hum ek hi fareb ke pichhe bhagne ki koshish karen

aur azal aur abad ki tanaben khinch kar
ek sath

freeze frame ho jaen
phir bhi sach hai

ki sab ke apne apne khwab hain
adhure adhure

halki halki aanch mein sulagte
rakh hote

aur patjhad mein udte
aur aansu kab tak patjhad sanwar sakte hain

jab tak aansu dil mein girte rahte hain
dil un ko sukhi dinon ki aas dila kar

thapak thapak kar sulata rahta hai
aur sari tapish jazb kar leta hai apni dhadakti khamosh raaton mein

lekin jab koi ziddi aansu
apne aap se ruth ke

gir padta hai
tab to dil bhi nahin manta koi phuslawa

bas aansu bahne lagte hain chup-chap
patjhad ke patton ki tarah

thake thake qadmon ki manind
pyare kya koi aisa bhi din hoga

jab ye din aa jaega
aur tab

dil kitne sogwar ho jaenge
aur hamare tute phute chehre ek dusre ko

kaisi khoi khoi nazron se dekhenge
sakit ho jaenge abad ke chaukhate mein

aur pas-e-manzar mein saxophone ki siskiyan ubharengi
aur ek shikasta khwab ki melody mein dhal jaengi

phir bhi sach hai
ki sab ke apne apne khwab hote hain

lekin wo bhi to sach hai pyare
