Tanhayee

Kai baar yeh ehad*
khud se toda hai
ke azeeyat* dene wali socho
ko ab na socha karenge hum
Magar shaam dhalte hi
purane dost ki tarah
yeh aa jati hain haath thame
gale me baahen daale
tanhai ko abaad karne
khala ko bharne


kaash ke tanhai ko
is dard ko
bhej sakte
kisi kagaz par utaar kar tumko
magar isko
kagaz par utarna
mumkin hi nahi
kaali raat ke jaise
kagaz par phel jati hain
na koi lafz
na koi rang
jaise hamari kismat
bilkul syaah..

ek sannata
hota hai chaarsoo*
usme goonjti rehti hai tumhari
awaaz aur uske saaye
aur chalta rehta hai
deewar par guzre waqto ka video
us sabki tarah jo band hai
tumhare zehen ke camera me!


(*ehad- waada
azeeyat- extreme pain
khala- void
syaah- kala
charsoo*- chaaron taraf)
