Dhooriyan

Sham ka waqt tha .....main balcony mey

apni armchair pey baithe dhoor suraj ko

doobta dekh rahi thi

Mere ghar se nikal ke ek rasta

Gali key nukkad pe mudta hai

jispey kaii logon ka aana jana

chalta hai...................................

Achanak!! ek parchai....

kuch jani pehchani

samney se aati dikhlai di...

chashma pehan key dekha toh

bhi... thik pehchan naa saki

Kuch der saans mano tham si gayi

phir unn dinon ki dhoondli yaadon

mey gum ho gayi............

phir....... achanak ek awaz sunai di

mano darwazey pe kisi ney dastak ki

Unkey jaaney ke baad .........

koi toh mere ghar aata nahi tha

phir achanak yeh aaj kaun aa gaya?

Kaanp tey hue kadmon ko sambhala

thees kadmon ki dhoori pe khadey

Darwazey ko khola

Darwaza khola toh dekha

Security guard khada tha

Usney mere haath mey parchi

thamatey hue kaha... yeh sahab

aapsey milney aye hain

Mainey parchi kholke dekha

uspey kisi ka naam likha tha

haath ki likhai pehchani si lagi

aur naam bhi pehchana tha

Phir se barson baad unka chehra

samney aya tha...............

Kuch der khadi sochti rahi

phir security guard bola.......

kya hua madam......aap janti hain unhey

kya kahoon jakar ...

Aap milengi unsey?

Mainey hichkichatey hue kaha

Haan.......

tum bhejdo... main miloongi unsey

Darwaza khula chod

Main phir balcony mey ja khadi hui

tabhi ..unkey kadmon ki ahat sunai di

Peechey mudkey dekha....

woh khaday thay

kai baras pehlay jo mujhey milay thay

Unkay chehray pe halki jhurriyan thin

Ankhon mey golden chashma

aur balon may halki safedi thi

Unhonay dheemay se aakar poocha

Kaisi ho.........??

main chup rahi

phir poocha ....

Chai peeogay.......?

unhonay kaha

haan...... par bina chinee ki

mainey poocha yeh bina chinee ki

aadat kab dali?

Unhonay kaha ....jabsey tumhari

Parchai saath chod gayi.......

Mainey Ankh utha kar dekha

aur phir hanstey hue kaha

saath chod ke jana toh likha tha

tumney bhi toh kabhi mujhey roka nahi tha

Tumhari zindagi ek alag mod pe khadi thi

meri tumhari soch ke beech ek deewar khadi thi

Saath rehtey toh shayad ek dujey ko

samajh naa paatey

Ladtey jhgadtey hue waqt beetatey

Humara door jaana hi munasib tha

Ek doojey ki kami ke saath jina

yeh zaroori tha................

phir itney salon baad kyon aye ho?

kya kuch choot gaya hai jo lene aye ho?

Wo Kuch tasweerein hain jeenhey dekhti hoon

kuch batein aur kuch meethay pal hain

jeenhey yaad karke hansti hoon

Chaho toh baki sab tum le jana

par inhey yehin tum chod jana...

................................

................................

Par inhey yehin tum chod jana..
