tumhaare saath rahakar
aksar mujhe aisaa mahasoos huaa hai
ki dishaae(n) paas aa gayee hain,
har raastaa chhoTaa ho gayaa hai,
duniyaa simaTakar
ek aa(n)gan-see ban gayee hai
jo khachaakhach bharaa hai,
kaheen bhee ekaant naheen
n baahar, n bheetar.

har cheez kaa aakaar ghaT gayaa hai,
peḌ itane
...

kabhee-kabhee jeevan koee ghoShaNaa naheen karataa—
vah bas bahataa hai,
jaise koee puraanaa raag,
dheere-dheere aatmaa men utarataa huaa,
binaa shor, binaa aagrah.

hamaare saath ke tees varSh poorN hue hain.
kabhee lagataa hai hamane samay ko jiyaa,
kabhee lagataa hai samay ne hamen taraashaa.
yah saath keval varSh naheen the—
yah do aatmaaon kaa maun sanvaad thaa,
jo shabdon se pare,
par bhaavon se bharapoor rahaa.

jab hamane saath chalanaa shuroo kiyaa,
tum the svapnadraShTaa—
shabdon ke jaadoogar,
bhaviShy ke rangeen rekhaachitron men Doobe hue.
aur main…
main thee vah zameen
...

tum to pahale aise n the
raat biraat aaoge
der saver aaoge...
ham neend men rahen
aa(n)kh naa khule
to rooTh jaaoge...

svapn men aaoge
divaasvapn dikhaaoge
ham kalam uThaae(n)ge
to chhip jaaoge...

bechainiyon kaa kabhee
...

1.
prem kavitaa, kahaaniyaa(n) aur ph़ilmen
jahaa(n) tak le jaa sakatee hain
main gayaa hoo(n) usake paar
kaee baar.
ik ajeeb-see bechainee hotee hai vahaa(n)
jee karataa hai thaam loo(n) koee cheej
koee haath, koee sahaaraa.
main Tik naheen paataa vahaa(n) der tak.

suno,
abase
