Itwar Ki Dopahar

itwar ki dopahar to hamesha hi achchhi hoti hai

bilkul tumhaari tarah

be-fikr be-parwah aazad

main ne bhi hamesha ise apne hi tariqe se bitaya hai

par jaane kyun

kuchh arse se jab bhi ye sukun bhara waqt apne sath bitane ki koshish ki

tum dur-daraaz ke waqton se nikal ke chup-chap mere qarib baiTh jate ho

mere hathon ki khuli kitab band kar ke

apne hi qisse sunane lagte ho

december ki sardi

barish ki bunde

aur itwar ki dopahar

wahi qissa jo tum ne jiya tha kabhi

mere sath

lag-bhag har hafte dohraate ho

aur mujhe ehsas bhi nahin hota ki main qaid hun

kuchh aazad se lamhon mein hamesha ke liye
