in tedhi-medhi
pagdandiyon par chalna

kitna dushwar tha mere liye
tum to is ke aadi the

tab hi to hamesha aage
nikalte gae the

koi ehsas
koi dard tumhaare pairon ki

bedi nahin ban saka tha
sare raste sari galiyan

kuche
sab tumhaare jaane pahchane the

ajnabi to hum the
jo tumhaari ungliyon ko

pakad kar chal rahe the
aur tum bich rah mein

kinara kar gae the
meri naw ko manjdhaar mein chhod kar

tumhein zindagi ka
zyaada moh tha
