Shayad

kuchh log

jo mere dil ko achchhe lagte the

umron ke rele mein aae

aur ja bhi chuke

kuchh dhandon mein masruf hue

kuchh chuha-dauD mein jite gae

kuchh haar gae

kuchh qatl hue

kuchh baDhti bhiD mein

apne-ap se dur hue

kuchh TuT gae kuchh Dub gae

mujh par ye KHauf ab chhaya hai

main kis se milne jaunga

main kis ko pas bulaunga

aandhi hai, garm hawa hai, aag barasti hai

kuchh der hui

ek surat, shabnam si surat

is tapti rah se guzri thi

do bachche peD ke patton mein chhup kar baiThe the

hanste shor machate the

ek dost purana

barson baad mila mujh ko

us jalte din ki

subh kuchh aisi raushan thi

jab baad-e-saba warafta-rau

KHushbuon, naghmon, nannhi-munni baaton ka

andaz liye aangan mein chali

main zinda hun

ye soch ke KHush ho jata hun

wo thoDi der to mere pas se guzri thi

wo mere dil mein utri thi

is be-mahram se mausam mein

shayad wo kal bhi aaegi

shayad wo kal bhi meri rah se guzregi
