Waris

wo abnormal nahin tha

sirf us ko normal banne ki hasrat thi

kai KHanon mein us ki zindagi baTne lagi thi

wo apni koshish-e-na-mo'tabar se tang aa kar

nim-jaan ho kar

ek KHane mein panah lene laga tha

bani aamat-gah-e-tir-e-nafrat shaKHsiyat us ki

use bhi KHud se nafrat ho chuki thi

magar is nafrat-e-manus ki takrar se us ne

durusht o na-muwafiq zindagi se sulh kar li thi

yahi tha kisa-e-aKHlaq us ka

gharibi ne sharafat chhin li thi

aur us ki shaKHsiyat ke pairahan mein

guhar-baron ke badle sang-reze jaD diye the

wo abnormal nahin tha

magar ab us mein KHud ko normal karne ka yara bhi nahin tha

use ab ye gawara bhi nahin tha

gali-kuchon ki sari gandagi ka

tirgi ka

wo ab haqdar waris ban chuka tha
