KHud-agahi

wo kaisi tarik ghaDi thi

jab mujh ko ehsas hua tha

main tanha hun

us din bhi sidha-sada suraj nikla tha

shahr mein koi shor nahin tha

ghar mein koi aur nahin tha

amman aaTa gundh rahi thin

abba chaarpai par baiThe ungh rahe the

dhire dhire dhup chaDhi thi

aur achanak dil mein ye KHwahish ubhri thi

main duniya se chhuTTi le lun

apne kamre ko andar se tala de kar kunji kho kar

zor se chiKHun chiKHta jaun

lekin koi na sunne pae

chaqu se ek ek rag-o-reshe ko kaTun

aur bhayanak sachchai ka dariya phuTe

har kapDe ko aag laga dun

shoalon mein nange-pan ka sannaTa kude

wo din tha aur aaj ka din hai

kamre ke andar se tala laga hua hai

kunji gum hai

main zoron se chiKH raha hun

mere jism ka ek ek resha kaTa hua hai

sab kapDon mein aag lagi hai

bahar sab pahle jaisa hai

koi nahin jo kamre ka darwaza toDe

koi nahin jo apna khel zara sa chhoDe
