Soch Rahi Hun

gungi hoti hui KHamoshi

sannaTe ki dahliz pakaD kar

jaane kab tak jami rahegi

main wo lafz hi bhul aai hun

raste mein hi gira aai hun

jo tum se milne aae the

jaante ho tum

lafz meri dhaDkan the us pal

sine mein ek hashr bapa tha

surKHi ka pairahan oDhe

mere sajile lafz wo sare

sapnon ke rangin mahal mein

rahne ko be-tab bahut the

tum shayad kuchh kah do un se

ek masum si KHwahish le kar

pas tumhaare aa baiThe the

lekin

tum ne jaan hi le li un ki

jite-jagte lafz wo sare

zard paDe bas takte rah gae

aur phir is par

sard barf sa lahja tumhaara

lafz to jaise marne lage the

dil ki dhaDkan ruk si gai thi

sard paDti wo lashen un ki

jis pal main ne sameTi thin

viran hote sine mein

un ki qabren khodi thin

aur unhen dafnaya tha

jis sine mein hashr bapa tha

ab sannaTe gunjte hain

main chup le kar aai hun

rose larazte hathon se

ashkon mein ek bhigi hui

chadar un pe chaDhati hun

soch rahi hun

gungi hoti hui KHamoshi

sannaTe ki dahliz pakaD kar

jaane kab tak jami rahegi
