Ankahee See Baat

baat,
jo tum kah naheen paaye,
jo rah gayee thee
do baaton ke daramyaan
aTak kar
tumhaare adharon par
jise chhupaa liyaa
tumhaaree najaron ne
palaken jhukaa kar,
use paḌh liyaa thaa mainne
aur vah shaamil ho gayaa hai
mere hone men .
usee ko main likhataa hoo(n) aajakal,
apanee kavitaaon men.
boo(n)d boo(n)d
apane vajood men Doobokar.
tumhaare lie
jo thee
ek zaraa
anakahee see baat,
vah ek silasilaa ban gayaa hai
kabhee naheen khatm hone vaalaa.
mere man kaa aakaash
abhee bhee taakataa hai raah
aur phaahe se banaataa hai
tarah tarah kee tasveeren
aur phir phoonk kar uḌaa detaa hai
idhar udhar
muskuraate hue.
kabhee kabhee baras bhee jaataa hai
aa(n)khon se,
agar kabhee idhar aanaa
to lekar aanaa
ek naav.
nadee jo tumhen dikhatee hai sookhee
hai daraasal labaalab bharee huee.
jis kinaare par kabhee tumane likhaa thaa
apanaa naam,
use mainne ab bhee bachaakar rakhaa hai
nadee kee dhaaraa se
apanee deh kee aaḌ dekar
aur tumhaaree a(n)guliyon kee chhuan
mahasoos karataa hoo(n)
apanee hathelee par.
jab aao to apane pairon ke neeche
rakh lenaa
ek phool.
