qabron par barish

barish girti hai
matyali qabron par barish girti hai

hadd-e-nazar tak jal-thal
sila sila khwab musalsal

yaad nahin main ne barish ko pahli bar kahan dekha tha
khidki mein ya khwab mein

chhat par ya dariya ke kinare
africa ke bachchon ki banjar aankhon mein

ya bangal mein nangi lashon wale sogi sahilon par
kitni barishen dafn hain jaane is barish ke niche

ek gali ke thande pani mein bhula bachpan chalta tha
ek mahakta aanchal koi gila chehra ponchh raha tha

jaane kahan main phenk aaya hun
wo dil aur wo jute

tairti takhtiyan bhige baste
pyasi kuk kisi koyal ki

dur hari tanhai mein
ek git jo us ke lab ne mere lab se jud kar gaya tha

ek jalti bujhti sham judai
sawan ki pahli bundon mein

jis ne itne rang bhare the
meri umr ke khali-pan mein

aaj khud us ka apna koi rang nahin
matyali qabron par barish girti hai

be-maqsad hai jaise zindagi
be-mani hai jaise maut
