Panah

faza mein muallaq

ye shaKHen hain

ya jaDen hain

us buDhe bargad ki

jis pe zamin tang ho gai hai

hamari tarah

jis ko waqt ne be-waqt kiya hai

zamin ek had tak panah-gah hoti hai

aasman ki panah ki had koi nahin

ye shaKHen jo dusra rup hain jaDon ka

zamin se palaT kar aasman ki kheti mein ugne ko be-tab hain

aasman aur zamin ke darmiyan

bandon ke azhdaham mein

kaun hai?

jo bargad ki aaghosh wa kiye

meri rah dekhta hai
