meri band gali ke sare ghar
kitne ajib se lagte hain
mehrabi darwaze
jaise melancholia ki bimari mein
dhire dhire marte shaKHs ki
kich-bhari aankhen hun
aage baDhi hui balconiyan
jaise ahmaq aur hawannaq logon ki
laTki hui thoDiyan hoti hain
ek duje mein uljhe
baiThak aangan sone wale kamre
aur rasoiyan
sara yun lagta hai
jaise ek pagal ki gunjal sochen hon
un ke andar rahne wale
jaise
main bhi kya pagal hun
kya kya sochta rahta hun
Nazm
Baaten pagal ho jati hain
Anwar Fitrat
