muslim muslim fasadat

subh-dam jo dekha tha
kya hara-bhara ghar tha
dantti hui biwi
bhagte hue bachche


rassiyon ki banhon mein
jhulte hue kapde
bolte hue bartan
jagte hue chulhe


ek taraf ko gudiya ka
adh-bana gharaunda tha
dur ek kone mein
cycle ka pahiya tha


murghiyon ke darbe the
kabuken thin
pinjra tha
tis gaz ke aangan mein


sab hi kuchh to rakkha tha
ek pal mein ye manzar
kyun badal sa jata hai
ek dhuan sa uthta hai


han magar dhundalke mein
kuchh dikhai deta hai
ja-namaz ka kona
jhadiyon mein uljha hai


safha-e-kalam-e-pak
khak par larazta hai
sath aur khabron ke
ye khabar bhi chhapti hai


log is ko padhte hain
baaten hoti rahti hain
kaam chalte rahte hain
embulance edhi ki


bain karti aati hai
sab jali kati lashen
sath le ke jati hai
subh tak sabhi lashen


dafn kar di jati hain
auraton ki bachchon ki
budhon aur jawanon ki
masjidon se hoti hain


barishen azanon ki
la-ilah il-lallah
