Barish

tu aafaq se qatra qatra girti hai
sannaTe ke zine se

is dharti ke sine mein
tu tariKH ke aiwanon mein dar aati hai

aur baha le jati hai
jazbon aur imanon ko

maile dastar-KHwanon ko
tu jab banjar dharti ke mathe ko bosa deti hai

kitni soi aankhen karwaT leti hain
tu aati hai

aur teri aamad ke nam se
pyase bartan bhar jate hain

tere hath baDhe aate hain
gadli ninden le jate hain

teri lambi poron se
dilon mein girhen khul jati hain

kali raaten dhul jati hain
tu aati hai

pagal aawazon ka kichaD
saDkon par uDne lagta hai

tu aati hai
aur uDa le jati hai

KHamoshi ke KHemon ko
aur honTon ki shaKHon par

moti Dolne lagte hain
panchhi bolne lagte hain

tu jab band kiwaDon mein aur dilon par dastak deti hai
sari baaten kah jaane ko ji karta hai

tere sath hi
bah jaane ko ji karta hai
