main aur tum

main bhi kho jaon
tum bhi kho jao kahin
bhool jaen
tum bhi the
hum bhi the kabhi
jhoot tha sab
jhoot hi hota hai humesha
sach bhi ek jhoot hai
jhoot bhi ek sach !
tere milan k geet
jo honton pe jawan rakhe hain
apne wisl k khwab
jo palkon pe saja rakhen
us jhoot k bojh se
aankh khulti hi nahi
din hota hi nahi
sach k asrar pe
kholi jo kabhi aankh
toot gya woh khwab
jo sach ki soorat liye
ek jhoot ka qarz tha
uske tootte hi
sach ki kirne lagin pahelne
aur chane laga
phir se
har soo andhera

tera khyal

mujhe iska kuch nahi pata
k safar hoga khatm kahan
sham dhalegi zindagi ki
tu milegi ya nahi
teri soch se
wisl k khyal se
dhoop bhi chandni lage

rail gadi

Rail ke dabbe mein sannata
tootta tha kuch der pe
shor se bachchon ki
aur sath hi khwabon ka fusoon
yaadon ki barat
pe lagti thi ek rok
phir khyal aata tha
zindagi is train ki manind
badhti jati hai
ithlati hue'bal khati hue
ek hi safar mein din aur rat
ek hi manzil mein bahar o khazan
kahin pahad koi
tane khada hai seena
kahin nadi behti hai
lehrati hue
jungle ki sham
aur
sarsarati hawa
pahuncha laye hai mujhe
teri yadon ki god mein
khyalon k us muqam pe
har tafkeer ko lagti hai rok
har soch sabit hue bemana
har mantiq mahaz lafzon ka jhol
teri yad k daman se gar nikloon
to ulajh jata hoon phir
daemi un sawalat se
jo chubhte hain humesha
zehar aalood teer ki tarah
k
tu kaun hai?
main kahun hoon?
rishta hai kya
tera aur mera?

bujhe cigarette

kae bar aaj ki
use honton se
qareeb karne ki koshish
bilaakhir taraste hue honton pe
saj hi gaye ek cigerette
barha
machis jalae
lekin
ek bar bhi
nahi utha koi dhuan
use jalane ki har koshish
hue nakam
theek usi tarah
jis tarah
jalte hue dil pe
baraf ka tukda
nakam!!
