pahle sal ka tohfa

suno
tum ne mujhe takmil ka ehsas bakhsha hai

ki tum is jism mein pahli tamanna ka shagufa ho
magar yun hai

ki meri kokh mein kilkariyon ki karwaton se qabl
andeshe ki konpal phut nikli hai

main aksar sochti thi ye akela ghar kabhi aabaad bhi hoga
main us an-dekhe mehman ki pazirai mein kya kya khwab bhejungi

main taq-e-jaan mein kaise kaise gul-bute sajaungi
main us ki ek ek jumbish pe izhaar-o-bayan ke sab dariche khol kar

sawan ke baadal ki tarah
har rang mein pagal hawa ke sath har su phail jaungi

main ye bhi bhul jaungi
ki us ek bund bhar rishte ke pichhe umr bhar ki sangsari hi muqaddar hai

main ye bhi bhul jaungi
ki is hone ki lazzat aur zillat ne mujhe kya kya rulaya hai

main ye bhi bhul jaana chahti thi
ki main kis jabr ke sae mein pal kar

kaise andeshon ki chadar odh kar dahliz utri thi
ki main ne khud ko

bachpan aur jawani ke gunahon ki hazaron lazzaton se
kis tarah mahrum rakkha hai

meri jaan main ye sab kuchh bhul jaana chahti thi
main teri nannhi nannhi ungliyon ki konpalon ka lams pa kar raqs kar uthti

teri kilkariyon ko soch kar tanhai mein haule se muskati
magar yun hai ki mere chaar su jo hashr barpa hai

bas ek khamosh matam ek be-awaz nala hai
main aankhen mundna chahun to ye kilkariyan

bhuke bilakte dard se behaal bachche ki karahon mein
badal jati hain pal bhar mein

meri muskan dhal jati hai
tanha dard ki mari thaki haari hui aurat ki aahon mein

thaki haari hui aurat ki jis ki sard banhon mein
apahij din sisakta hai

musalsal khana-jangi qahat-sali bhuk ghurbat aur wabaen
jis ke darwaze pe dastak de rahi hain

jihaalat aur nafrat sarhadon ki pasbani kar rahi hai
jahan kheton mein bas barud ugta hai

saron par tab-kari dhup ki chadar tani hai
thaki haari hui aurat jo malbe par khadi fariyaad karte

ye kin aabaadiyon ko yaad karti hai
main aankhen mundna chahun to ye manzar rulata hai

meri jaan us ghadi tu jis bhi pahlu kasmasata hai
mera dil haul khata hai

mere chaaron taraf ek khud-faramoshi ka jangal hai
ghanim aankhen jamae aur hawa-e-shauq pagal hai
