Apne Bister Per Bohat Dair se Main Neem Daraaz

apne bister per bohat dair se maiN neem-daraaz
 
sochti thi K wo is waqt kahaN per ho ga
 
maiN yahan hoN magar us koocha_e_raNg-o-boo meiN
 
roz ki tarah se wo aaj bhi aaya ho ga
 
aur jub us ne wahaN mujh ko na paaya ho ga
 
"aap ko ilm hai, wo aaj nahi aai haiN"
 
meri her dost se us ne yahi poocha ho ga
 
kyoN nahi aai wo, kia baat hoi hai aakhir
 
khud se is baat pe sou baar wo uljha ho ga
 
kal wo aaye gi tou maiN us se nahi boloN ga
 
aap he aap kayi baar wo roottha ho ga
 
wo nahi hai tou bulandi ka safar kitna katthin
 
serrhiaN charrhte hoye us ne ye socha ho ga
 
rahdaari meiN haray lawn meiN phooloN k qareeb
 
us ne her simt mujhe aan dhoondha ho ga
 
naam bhoole se jo mera kahiN aaya ho ga
 
gher-mahsoos tareeqe se wo choNka ho ga
 
aik jumle ko kayi baar sunaaya ho ga
 
baat kerte hoye sou baar wo bhoola ho ga
 
ye jo larrki nayi aai hai, kahiN wo tou nahi
 
us ne her chehra yahi soch ker dekha ho ga
 
jaan_e_mahfil hai, magar aaj, faqat mere bagher
 
haaye kis darja wahi bazm meiN tanha ho ga
 
kabhi sannattoN se wehshat jo hoi ho gi usay
 
us ne be-saakhta phir mujh ko pukaara ho ga
 
chalte chalte koi maanoos si aahatt paa ker
 
dostoN ko bhi kisi uzr se roka ho ga
 
yaad ker k mujhe, namm ho gai hoN gi palkeN
 
"aanKh meiN parr gaya kuch" keh k ye taala ho ga
 
aur ghabra k kitaaboN meiN jo li ho gi panah
 
her satar meiN mera chehra ubhar aaya ho ga
 
jab mili ho gi usay meri alaalat ki khabar
 
us ne aahista se deewaar ko thaama ho ga
 
soch k ye, k bahel jaaye pareshaani_e_dil
 
youNhi be-waja kisi shaqs ko rouka ho ga
 
ittefaqan mujhe us shaam meri dost mili
 
maiN ne poocha k..... suno! aaye thay wo? kese thay?
 
mujh ko poocha tha? mujhe dhoondha tha chaaroN jaanib?
 
us ne ik lamhe ko dekha mujhe aur phir haNs di
 
us haNsi meiN tou wo talkhi thi k us se aage
 
kia kaha us ne..... mujhe yaad nahi hai lekin.....
 
itna maloom hai k khwaaboN ka bharam toott gaya
