Raat chandni dhere dhere shabab pe thi

Raat chandni dhere dhere shabab pe thi
door se ek roti-bilakhti awaz sunai dee
main bhi tha yunhi leta,karwatein badal ruha tha
achanak vyagra ho,balcony ki oor badha
ahat ki gunj badhte hi ja ruhi thi
chaukan-ne ho charo oor najrein daurai
achanak ek parchhai si nazar aayi
bhaybhit hua,rongte khade hue,fir nazar aayi wo
puchha kon ho ,itni raat kiski talash kur ruhi ho.

boli ek vyatha hon,ek parityakta hoon
hawa hon aur parchhai bhi hoon
main puchha hawaon ke bhi parchhai hote hain kya?
dhool se bhari hawaon ke parchhi nahi hote kya?

vyatha,dukh se bhari ek hawa hoon main
fir boli thode der tere asiyane mein
vishram kurna chahti hon main...
main bola ek navyuvti ko ashray dena
mujh brahmchari ke liye hai ek vedna

wo boli main tumhein pehchanti hon
main hawa hoon tumhare ragon ,
aur dill mein daudi hon..
tum mere na to mitra ho na hi priyatam ho
bure ho,kuchh bhi per ek insan hi to ho
bhgwan ke hanthon hi to bane ho

hridya uske batoon ko sun pighul gaya
mujhe manjur hai,per koi jo tumhein dekh liya
tohmat tumhere hi honge,main to ek mard hon
fir boli koi nahi ,main waisi nahi hon
sonchi ki chandni ke badhte alharpana se kahin..
meri asmita pe prshnachinha na uth jaye
aur log mujhe benakab na dekh le kahin...

jub chandni thodi dhili pud jaye
chhupakur chali jaongi apne ashiyane
fir sarmayi,balkhayi,simti,anchal munh pe rukhkur
baith gayi wo,mere janib badan bikhrakar

boli mere priytam ek kalpna hain..
main paritykta hon,vyatha hon,,,
aur unki ek sunder kalpna hon...

bhav-vihwal ho fir se bilakh uthi
aankhon ko anchal se dhank kur hichak-hichak
main puchha mazra kya hai,kyon vilakh uthi
boli kahin chandni mein koi dekh na liya ho aansoon ki chamak
kyonki aanson hi insan ki sahi pehchan hai hoti
aur kahin mere priyatam ko khabar na mil jaye
aur kurbatein bunane ke punar-prayas adhar mein na latak jaye

main bola ye krandan ki jo swar hai
ye bhi to ek pehchan hai...
wo boli swaron ki koi pehchan nahi hoti
pehchan bhavnaon aur samvedanaon mein hai swar mein nahi..
samvedna asli pehchan hai swar kabhi nahi.
aur samvedna aur bhavna aansoon mein hai hoti humesha
awaz main nahi dekha ja sakta humesha ek jaisa

guptgu aage badhi ,mahol thoda sairana ho gaya tha
main bola ek sukhanwar hon,samay ne bunaya hai
tubse likh ruha jubse kisi ne meri asiyana jalaya hai
ilzam jo bhi lagye duniyan wale, per shaayr to unhone hi banaya hai

boli,nahin!! likh sakte ho, per utne achhe nahin
sonch sakte ho ,per tumhari sonch paripukwa nahin
dekh sakte ho ,per aankhon mein wo sajilapan nahin
mahsoos kur sakte ho, per tumhare ander wo bhavna nahin
mushkura sakte ho ,per wo zarre-lab nahin
wize ho sakte ho ,per budhimata nahin
vishay ka gyan ho ,sakta hai per .vishay nahin
dikhawe pe jate ho, asliyat tumhare pass nahin
tum kuchh bhi ho mere kalpnik priytam jaise nahin

main jhallaya,kunthit hua,irshya se jul utha
akhir kuchh bhi hai ,ye sub to manushya ke hi gun hain
per in awgunon ko hamare ander smridh kon kiya
to aap jaise sakhs ke karan hi ye aaj sampan hai

mujhe sikhya na jata dwesh aur irshaya,
unch aur nich dikhakur,
aur sub hote ek jaisa ;
to main bhi fakra ke sath ghumta
bilkul aap sarikhe nenk jaisa.
