shama aur main

mere bistar ke pas
pili pili

idhar jal rahi hai jo ek mom-batti
usi ki larazti hui raushni mein

main qasdan kitab ek padhne ki koshish mein hun
achanak se kanpta wo shoala

meri bedar aankhon ko marub karta hai aise
ki main us ke is nach mein

aur pighle hue mom mein mahw ho jati hun
jo pighle hue mom ke gird be-tarah shaklen banane mein mashghul hai

der tak main use dekhti hun
yahan tak ki pighle hue mom ke siwa kuchh bhi bachta nahin hai

main chhup jati hun lambe pardon ke bich
aur takiye pe sar rakh ke

us mom-batti ke bare mein phir sochti hun
jo baqi hai

aur apne jiwan ke bare mein bhi jo ki hai
sawal uthta hai ki meri zindagi bhi is tarah

kuchh der tak jalti jalti chamakti hui khatm ho jaegi
ain mumkin hai aisa hi ho

aur mission mera pura to ho jaega
agar ye faqat chand ghante jale aur dusron ke liye

kuchh chamak aur damak bhi muhayya kar le
