Wahi Darinda

wahi darinda

mujhe jangal se shahr le aaya

yahan us ne

muskurana sikha

jo karta raha

main dekhta raha

aur apne andar hairaten jama karta raha

us ne ek aurat ki chhatiyan

bhanbhoD Dalin

jis ne us ke uzw-e-tanasul

aur dil ko thaka diya hai

us ne aasman ki taraf dekha

aur thuk nigal liya

wahan use

koi nazar nahin aaya

mujhe pata na chalta

wo lafzon mein chhup jata

wahin se nahusat se muskuraata

dikhai paDta

kabhi kabhi

main ne us se

jaan chhuDani chahi

jab main phul le raha tha

us laDki ke liye

jis ka dil

ek phul se bhi ziyaada

narm aur halka tha

main ne us se

jaan chhuDani chahi

jab dhup diwaron se

utarne ka nam nahin leti thi

aur lamhe unghte the

main in dhup bhari diwaron mein

use dafn karna chahta tha

main ne us se jaan chhuDani chahi

jab main ne pahli bar

sach bolna sikha

ye use pasand nahin aaya

us ne karodh mein

aaina ijad kiya

aur mere samne rakh diya

main ne dekha

wahi darinda

main KHud hun
