Baadal pe pao’n toh rakhu,
Ya kismat ke kaandhe pe sar?
Baarish mein phisal gaya tha, dar-asal; yeh-
Toh aisi hi,
Chhoti si,
Chot hai jaan-e-man.
Abhi abhi, yahin kahin, abhi kahin yahin aas paas kahin khoya hai dil. Dekha hai kahin?
Baadal pe pao’n toh rakhe,
Par-
Jooti ki dori ka patla sa resha phir bhi kisi ghaa’ns ke taar se bandh sake, aisa bhi toh ho sakta hai,
Jaan-e-man? Bandhan toh koi bhi kar sakta hai,
Na?
Jis dharti ko tum pooj’te ho, uski mitti mein mil tum khud hi ghul jao, bhool jao ki tum kabhi they bhi ya they hi nahin; bas yahin kahin, abhi kahin yahin aas paas kahin khoya hai dil. Dekha hai kahin?
Hey Musafir, khojon ki suljhan mein uljha premi prem kahani bun’ne ke bahane se uska pukaare chain, jiske prem mein andhe premi ko kaid karein tihaare nain. Hey Musafir,
Aaina-
Mujhse teri kahaniyan sun’ta hai. Hai toh tu bhi Musafir, na jaane kahan rehta hai; yahan, wahan, yahin kahin yahin aas paas kahin khoya hai dil. Dekha hai kahin?
Baadalo’n ki sair dekhi hai kabhi? Dhund ke kab’ron se paar door karti intezaar bechand, bechain, Andheri si raat ki raani, soongi hai kahi? Jis gali mein chhaon ka kaal sab hi haal hai, uss mein laal bahane ke bahane bun’ne ki kahaniyan bataya karta hai sebo’n ka saa’np. Bhook lagi hai,
Jaan-e-man?
Kuch lengi aap: chai-paani, sutta, meri jaan;
Khelengi mere saath? Afsar, o afsar, tumhara paani, tumhari chai; bhay-
Chha jaata hai tumhare bina. Kidhar ho tum? Yaadash ki dhokebaazi se waqif hu mein, par yaad toh aati hai. Yaad toh yahi hai ki bas, yahin kahin aas paas kahin khoya hai dil. Dekha hai kahin?
Chali jaa rahi ho tum. Mujhse door chali ja rahi ho tum, shayad. Qareebi ka kiraya lenge,
miya’n, ya apna lein aap ko? Jin nazro’n se sapne dekhe hai tumhare,
Jin nazro’n se khwaab dekhe hai tumhare,
Unn nazro’n ko dikhte nahin aise nazaare. Bazaar-e-ishq mein swaagat hai aapka. Kiski khoj mein haazir hai aap? Yahan kahin aas paas kahin koi dilon ke dariyon me naam nahi nikaalta. Jo kho gaya hai, voh kho gaya hai. Ab yeh dil-e-nadaan ko kaise dikhau’n, jab dil-e-nadaan ho gaya hai dil-e-bikaau?
