Reincarnation

mere aangan mein bikhre zard patte
mujhe hamraaz lagte hain

ye jab halki hawa ki sarsarahaT se larazte hain
to yun lagta hai jaise

un pe koi bhed sa khulne laga hai
jaise un ko bawar ho gaya hai

ki KHud shaKHon ne be-parwai se daman chhuDaya hai
zamin ne bhi nigahen pher li hain

unhen malum hai shayad
zamin pairon tale hi jab na ho to

jitna marzi sar paTaKH len
Tahniyon ko tham len

be-faeda hai
ab unhen be-asra rahna paDega

kabhi pairon mein aa kar charmarana
hawa ke dosh par uDte

bikharte hi chale jaana paDega
wajud apna kisi gumnam goshe mein chhupa kar raigani ki aziyyat un ko sahte hi chale jaana paDega

KHayal aata hai
kitni be-nishan be-mol be-waqat si un ki zindagi hai

magar ye be-nishani jin KHalaon ko janam deti hai
unhen bharne ko jiwan konpalon se aaKHir ek din phuTta hai

yahi ek soch mujh ko
apne aangan mein bikharte charmaraate zard patton se

bahut manus rakhti hai
bahut nazdik rakhti hai
