Ai fairy-tail

kabhi bachpan mein jo paDhte the pariyon ki kahani mein
pari koi tilsmati asar se

nim-shab sare khilaunon ko
badal deti thi jiti-jagti maKHluq mein

ab yun hua
aise hi nadida asar ne

ek ghar mein
kuchh khilaunon ko ata ki zindagi

aur lamha bhar mein in ko hansne bolne
aur subh ki pahli kiran tak

zinda rahne par kya qadir
unhi mein ek tha aisa khilauna

jo khilaunon se bhare kamre mein tanha tha
use bachche kabhi aaghosh mein lete

kabhi Thokar lagate the
use sofe ke pichhe phenkte aur bhul jate the

ye un ka khel tha aur us ki qismat
aaj wo mazlum bhi pal-bhar mein zinda ho gaya tha

wo khilauna
ab koi dard-ashna be-laus sathi chahta tha

us ne apne pas hi rakhi hui
guDiya ki jaanib

dosti ka hath phailaya
magar guDiya laraz kar haT gai pichhe

ki jaise koi dast-e-tifl-e-nadan
is ki jaanib baDh raha ho

jo use iza bhi dega
aur shayad toD bhi dega

use be-mehr bachchon se
jo dukh milte rahe the

un ki talKHi ne
use achchhe bure ke farq se

aur sachche jazbon ki pazirai se begana kiya tha
wo shayad rishta-e-ehsas ki us mehrban tasir se na-ashna bhi thi

jo aankhon mein chamak aur zindagi mein rang bharti hai
shikasta-dil khilauna hath wapas khinch kar

ab subh ki pahli kiran ka muntazir hai
jab fusun TuTe aur is se zindagi chhin jae

wo phir ek be-ehsas aur be-jaan shai ban jae
