Maazi

Maazi ne ek phoonk maari,
to zindagi ki dairy se jaane kitne fasaane
sukhe gulab ki tarah bikhar gaye.
dil ke tadakhne ki awaaz aayee aur
manzar toot kar aankh me chubh gaya...
surkh se ashk aankh se dhuan ban kar nikalne lage...
aankhon ne jo dekha use dil ne thukra diya....
haathon me haath tha ..
magar kisi aur ka saath tha...
nazaren haya se jhuki thi ya sharmsaar pata nahi...
shaayad abhi bhi dil ko kone me chipi ulfat ka takaza tha...
ikraar ne inkaar ka naqab odh rakhta tha ya
yeh sirf meri khush-fehami thi..
pata nahi jo bhi tha ab yeh aalam hai ki -
"us raat main do baje tak piya...."...
.....
..
lekin subhah koi aur nahi aayee...
