AaKHiri Mukalima

le jao daraKHton ko le jao

mere kis kaam ke ye daraKHt

le jao

main to mar raha hun

mere sath jaane wale

kuchh hi log to hain

main ne baat ki in raston se

ki jo raste nahin the

phir main nadi mein Dub gaya

mujhe nahin malum tha ki mujhe is tarah

aari se kaT diya jaega

ki daraKHton mein bhi

mera shumar nahin hoga

main nind ke aaKHiri hisse mein khaDa hun

ek mazdur

belche se meri taswir bana raha hai

raat guzar rahi hai

ki us ke guzarne se pahle bhi

ek raat guzar chuki hai

main bhala kis raat ka hisab dun

mujhe marne walon mein

mera lahu bhi shamil hoga

ye mujhe malum nahin tha

main mar raha hun

ki mujhe marne wali zat

meri riDh ki haDDi se

kalam kar chuki hai

us ne mujhe baTan Tankne wali mamuli sui se chhed ke

jaankani se guzar diya hai

magar us se pahle

mujh se ye bhi nahin puchha

ki main kisi jahan mein

zinda tha bhi ya nahin

qadim kansi ke bartanon

mere nam par bahae hue

aansuon ka ek KHazana to mahfuz hai

aur is KHazane hi par to main ne israr kiya

kyunki main jaanta hun

ki ye duniya

kewal ek chinta ghar hai

is mein hazaron sal se rahne wale ko bhi

rahne ke liye

ek pal bhi mayassar nahin

kyunki ek ek pal ka

dam chukana paDta hai

pahaD ek zarre ke hathon

bik jata hai

main mar raha hun

magar is se pahle

main ne ek iltija ki hai

ki mujhe ek ek pal ka

dam chuka ke marne diya jae

mere nam ke

an-ginat nam darj hain

Thik hai

mere wo tamam alfaz hi to

akarat gae na

jo mahz ek jhuT ke nam

likhe gae

magar ab kuchh jaanne ke liye

rah kya gaya hai

ki agar mera sach itna baDa tha

tu use chhoTa karne ke liye

syahi se bhari dawat

qalam-dan se pare

kyun ulaT di gai

main mar raha hun

magar mujhe ek ek pal ka

dam chuka ke marne diya jae

aur ek daraKHt bhi

bach gaya hai

to le jao ise le jao
