Nostalgia

bis baras wo purani shirt

nikli hai almari se

main ne tah kar ke us ko

almari ke sab se upar wale KHane mein rakkha tha

jaise meri buDhi man quran ko chum ke rakhti thi

teri yaadon ke parfum ke dhabbe paDe hain ab tak

aur main chhu kar dekhun to

KHushbu bhi ab tak gai nahin hai

waqt is shirt ki aastin ka ghusa hua hai

bas main aaKHiri bar jo tera ticket liya tha

jeb mein ab tak paDa hua hai

tu ne aaKHiri bar baTan Tanka tha is mein

yaad hai jaanan

dant se dhaga toD ke kaise

soi chubhoi thi sine mein

us ki Tisen aaj bhi mere

dil mein rah rah kar uThti hain

sab kuchh itna hi taza hai

main ne shirt sambhaal ke rakkhi

waqt ko main ne rok ke rakkha

sab kuchh waise ka waisa hai

lekin jaanan

ye to bata tu

shirt ke collar par jo teri

kali zulf ka baal Tika tha

us par safedi kaise aai
