An-chhui Katha

main koi KHwab likhun kahani mein biti kisi raat ka

kahkashaon ki nagri se guzre hue

raat oDhe hue ek hasin sath ka

is gagan ki katha bhi likhun

jis pe nainon ke jhilmil diye jagmaga uThe the

jis pe baadal hamari tarah khilkhila uThe the

jis pe kohre ki chadar tale chand chup-chap tha

aur kahin dur murli pe bajta koi saz tha

wo jo KHwahish si bahti hui kasni nahr thi

wo jo aankhon se koson pare an-chhui sehr thi

han wahi han wahi han wahi qahr thi

mujh ko banhon mein apne chhupae hue

barf ki silwaTon se sarakte hue

dhund oDhe hue

dudhiya raushni se pare

chand ki oT mein

tere pahlu mein simTi hui

raat KHamosh thi

main bhi mera ke jaisi kisi kirshn ki yogini thi magar

main bhi nirdosh thi
