self-portrait

ek bahut ajib aur gahri sham mein
main ne

zakhmi parinde ko diwar ki munder par
sustate hue dekha

us ki aankhen nikli pad rahi thin
aur zaban bahar nikal aai thi

main ne is se pahle bhi
aisa manzar kahin dekha tha

meri yaad-dasht bahut kharab hai
mujhe kuchh yaad nahin rahta

han
nae manzaron se milta julta

koi purana manzar
mujhe yaad aata hai

aise hi kisi manzar mein
us parinde ki haalat se

milti-julti
ek ladki ki taswir

main ne
kaghaz par banana chahi

lekin parinda ud gaya
aur ladki

barahna ho gai
