tu nahin jaanti

tere honton se bahti hui ye hansi
do-jahanon pe nafiz na hone ka bais
tere hath hain
jin ko tu ne hamesha labon par rakha muskuraate hue


tu nahin jaanti
nind ki goliyan kyon banai gain
log kyon raat ko uth ke rote hain sote nahin
tu ne ab tak koi shab agar jagte bhi guzari


to wo barbie night thi
tujh ko kaise bataun
ki teri sada ke ta'aqub mein
main kaise dariyaon sahraon aur jangalon se guzarta hua


ek aisi jagah ja gira tha
jahan ped ka sukhna 'am si baat thi
jahan un charaghon ko jalne ki ujrat nahin mil rahi thi
jahan ladkiyon ke badan sirf khushbu banane ke kaam aate the


jahan ek ma'sum bachcha parinde pakadne ke sare hunar jaanta tha
mujh ko ma'lum tha
tera aise jahan aisi duniya se koi ta'alluq nahin
tu nahin jaanti


kitni aankhen tujhe dekhte dekhte bujh gain
kitne kurte tere hath se istiri ho ke jalne ki khwahish mein khunti se latke rahe
kitne lab tere mathe ko tarse
kitni shahrahen is shauq mein phat gai hain


ki tu un ke sine pe panw dhare
main tujhe dhundte dhundhte thak gaya hun
ab mujhe teri maujudgi chahiye
apne satan mein sahme hue surkh pairon ko ab mere hathon pe rakh


main ne chakhna hai in ka namak
