khilauna maut bhi hai

mere jism ke paintraon se pareshan thi wo
main ne samjhana chaha use
khuda jaanta hai
ki ratti barabar mujhe aur jine ki khwahish nahin


sach to ye hai
aise mehman se munh chhupana
ki jo sirf mere liye aasmanon se aaya ho
sharminda karta hai mujh ko


bhala ek insan ke bas mein kahan maut ko chhedna
main to darta hun tum se
ye koi aur hai jo mere sard pairon ko phir garm kar ke
tumhein chhedta hai


mere ghar ke chakkar lagane pe majbur karta hai
magar wo sisakti rahi
apne pairon ke chhaalon ko roti rahi
aur main hairat-zada sochne par ye majbur tha


kya meri maut bhi
mere marne ke din
meri sanson ki ginti ke bare mein utni hi anjaan hai
jitna main
