Lowe

pagal laDki
diwaron ko galiyan deti hai

aur thuk deti hai
aaine par

hawa ki taraf phenkti hai apne gulabi jute
aur band hone wali aankhon par

pher deti hai nil-polish
por pe safety pin lagati hai

aur
surKH lipstick se mila kar dekhti hai

barik si dhaar ki KHuni rangat
tumhaara zehni tawazun bigaD chuka hai?

tum ungliyon ke bajae
keyboard chabane wali laDki se mohabbat karte ho

jo khansti hai to
us ke halaq se girne lagte hain

s
i

d
r

aur
a ke pichke hue letters

wo keyboard uTha kar phenkti hai
pani se bhare hue tub mein

aur pani surKH ho jata hai
wahshi laDki baal nochti hai

aur
buland-o-bang qahqahe lagati hai

tum ro paDte ho
wo aur zor se hansti hai

aur hansti hi chali jati hai
