shayad miTTi mujhe phir pukare

sun
dariya apni mutthi khol raha hai

sun
kuchh patte aur patton ke sath kuchh hawa ukhad gai hai

jangal ke ped irade
zamin ko bosa de rahe hain

chahte hain dariya ko mutthi ka jal lagaen
aankhen manzar tah karti ja rahi hain

samundar mitti ko chaukor kar nahin pa rahe sun
gali lai pe funkar rahi hai

is mein jale hue kapde phenk
zine galiyon mein dhanse ja rahe hain

jismon se aankhen bandh di gai hain
bahte sitare tujhe aks kar rahe hain

tere pas koi chehra nahin
bata

jangal se lautne walon ke pas
mere lafz the ya murat

kai janm baad baat dohrai hai
meri baat mein jal mat laga meri baat bata

bata
bojhal sae pe kitna wazn rakha gaya tha

sun
maut ki chadar tumhaari aankhen napna chahti hai

kanche is chadar ko chhed chhed kar denge
chadar mein pahle hi si kar lai thi

kya paimana zang-alud tha
ye chadar tumhein mitti se dur rakhegi

aisi had aisi had se mera wajud inkar karta hai
tumhaara wajud to parinde rat chuke

tumhaari zaban kahin tumhaari muhtaj to nahin
mere aaza par e'tibar kar

main hairaton ka inkar hun
mukhtalif rang ke charagh

aur paniyon ki zabanen
aadmi insan hone chala tha ki kuan sukh gaya

kya aadmi ne kunen mein nafrat phenk di thi
nahin

wo sada gumbad ko todti hui
thoda sa aasman bhi tod lai thi

chadar aur aawaz ko tah kar ke rakh do
lautne tak meri aawaz dharti pe gunjti rahe

jaise jaise tum jaoge
khatm hote jaoge

tum do aankhen rakhna magar fasle ko bedar mat karna
aaankhon ki tik-tik sara jangal jaanta hai

tum khamosh rahna
aur han zaban ka ilm apne sath lete jao

tum pedon aur chidiyon ki guftugu sunna
aabshaaron ke war sahna

main ye tukda aasman ko rangne ja rahi hun
rukhsat ho rahi ho

aane ka wada hai
wade chaukhat ghadiyan jod jod kar banae gae hain

wade ko khadaun mat pahnao
chap ka iqrar dekh mere qadam ki rakhwali karti hai

main apne charagh ki lau se
tumhaari jhonpadi bandhe jati hun

lo aur ye jhonpadi
jis waqt apna apna dam tod den

to samajh lena
main koi zinda nahin rahi hongi

diya tarikiyon ko chaukanna rakhega
sans tap chuke

aur mitti mujhe bula rahi hai
achchha charagh aur chadar ko bandh do

hairat hai
tum haqiqat ki tisri shakl nahin dekhna chahte

aag ko kuze mein band kar do
aur

ye raha charagh aur chadar
ye to rakh hai

ye rakh nahin mere safar ki gawahi hai
