Sitapur, Uttar pradesh, India
bahana DhunDte rahte hain koi rone ka
zindagi ki aandhi mein zehn ka shajar tanha
kin lafzon mein itni kaDwi itni kasili baat likhun
nigal gae sab ki sab samundar zamin bachi ab kahin nahin hai
phirte hain kab se dar-ba-dar ab is nagar ab us nagar ek dusre ke ham-safar main aur meri aawargi
ajib aadmi tha wo
dil
aansu
aarzu ke musafir
bhuk
phir KHamoshi ne saz chheDa hai
hai pash pash magar phir bhi muskuraata hai
unchi imaraton se makan mera ghir gaya
tum ye kahte ho ki main ghair hun phir bhi shayad
khula hai dar pa tera intizar jata raha
hum bhi kafi tez the pahle
katthai aankhon wali ek laDki
pas aa ke bhi fasle kyun hain
lakh hon hum mein pyar ki baaten
