kitna mushkil hai

main sun raha hun
main sun raha hun

tumhaari aankhon ka shor
tumhaare masamon se bund bund tapakti hui aawazen

tumhaari chhatiyon ki nili nili lakiron ke darmiyan
kunmunate hue bachchon ki sargoshiyan

palak jhapakte hi
shahr ka shahr hijrat kar gaya

padaw dal diye gae wahan
jahan koi mausam nahin hota

darakht parindon se khali
bachchon ko nind nahin aati

kuchh runuma nahin hota
chizon ne apne mamul badal diye hain

rasul aate hain aur be-bayan chale jate hain
khuda ki bastiyan kabhi itni viran nahin hui thin

ab tum aaoge
to dekhoge

waqt,
jahan tahan se phat gaya hai

use apni rah par lana
kitna aasan hai kitna mushkil

un saaton par kamanden dalna
jinhon ne mauqa pa kar apni raftar pakad li

dekhte hi dekhte
dusri aabaadiyon ki taraf nikal gain

bujhi hui rakh ke dher mein
tasalliyan munh bisore hue padi hain

amaltas ki sukhi shakhon par
tange hue hain sabr ke chithde

purzon mein badal chuke hain
aarzuon ke be-payan tasalsul

dha chuke hain
andar hi andar shir-khar ummidon ke tile

jinhen dekh kar
tumhein yaad aaega

rishton ke bharam kitne saffak hote hain
kitne pur-zor hote hain waste

jo tutte hain
to un mein se ek chikh bhi baramad nahin hoti

sara jahan hi tut, bikhar jata hai
gardish karte hue khun mein

barf ki kilen gad jati hain
jaise sara jism hi aa gaya ho

kisi sarkash aandhi ki zad mein
aur ek ek kar ke

haddiyon ke sare jod hi khulte ja rahe hon
bikharte ja rahe hon sare masam

girte ja rahe hon
hum un chauhadon par

jahan sirf khwabon ke bij boe jate hain
aur fasl ke nam par

hafize ke azab numu pate hain
jaise hum ek azim hijr ki paidawar hain

umren dukhon ke hisab se tawil
dukh dushman ki bedar nigahon se ziyaada zinda

apne kandhon par
apni sanson ke khamiyaze hain

aur main
apni hi nindon mein daudte daudte thak gaya hun
