Ek Manzar Ki KHamoshi

bahut dur

shahr se bahar

shayad kisi aur shahr mein

ek kamra hai

us ki sari khiDkiyan

subh se khuli hui hain

koi nahin hai jo unhen band kar de

ya us gard ko saf kar de

jo diwar par lage portrait ko

dhundla kar rahi hai

hawa ne guzarte hue

kaghazon ko pila kar diya

lohe ki kursi par baiTh ke

ab koi kisi ko yaad nahin karta

raat gae sunai dene wali

train ki aawaz nahin sunta

shayad jate jate mez par

kisi ne dictionary ko khol kar rakh diya hai

sare lafzon ko kamre mein bikher diya hai

bahut jald ye bhi chale jaenge

kamre mein aati jati chiDiya ke sath

ab wahan sirf chiDiya hai

ek manzar ki KHamoshi ko

kabhi kabhi KHatm karne

ya hamesha baqi rakhne ke liye
