taaruf

ye main hun main
jaise aap aap hain
main paida hote hi uljhan mein hun
agar main ishq hun to fana kyun nahin ho jati


main samundar ki betab lahr hun to bah kyun nahin jati
main raqs-e-junun mein hun to diwangi sar kyun nahin chadhti
bechain ruh hun to jism se najat kyun nahin pati
main darti hun insani ashkal mein ghumte bhediyon se


main nafrat ki aag mein jale hue dilon se khauf khati hun
mujhe sahra se dar lagta hai
viranon se bhag aai hun
zist ki tamam-tar ranginiyon aur un ki haqiqaton se aagahi hai


hujum-e-dostan ke surur mein bachkana kaenat banati hun
kabhi aaina-ru nazar aati hun
kabhi hansti hun khud apni nadani par
kabhi be-sabab udas bahut hoti hun


kabhi sochti be-tahasha hun
kabhi likhti hun aise ki har lafz ruh ka dard ugal deta hai
aur kabhi tamam ke tamam alfaz kho jate hain
banawat aur dikhawe un ko nigal jate hain


main kabhi banjar hun aur kabhi janm ko janm deti hun
main jazbon khwabon aur duaon ko bahut sambhaal ke rakhti hun
aur un se dhage le kar khud ko bunti hun
main raushni nahin magar main tariki bhi nahin


ek sham ka sa malgaja hun kabhi
to kabhi din ka dhundlaka hun
aisi bahti hui nadi hun
jis ke kinare kai git


kai naghme madhur tanon mein lipte utarte hain
main zindagi ke samundar ki tamam lahron ko chhuti hun
aur moti moti kahaniyon mein tonic deti hun
sachche salma aur rupahle gote ki tarah


main khwab jiti hun
main haqiqat ko paint karti hun ki main haqiqat hun
apne ird-gard har achchhi buri haqiqat ka hissa hun
main sar-ta-pa mom hun


har aam aurat ki tarah mujhe jo bana do main bin jati hun
har mahaul mein dhal jati hun
mujhe bura samjha jae to bhi achchha
aur achchha samjha jae to bhi kya bura


!!!
