Lifafa

By Shantanu Sharma

Subha jab meine ghar ka darwaza khola

Samne band ek laal lifafa pada paya

Dekha idhar udhar phir maine

Par kahin bhi koi nazar na aaya

Jhuk kar phir salike se main

Wo lifafa apne haanthon mein uthaya

Hua mein hairan pareshan ke

Kisi ye harkat hai, kaun isse yahan laaya

Tha naa koi naam naa pata usmai

Par uski khusbo ne sab batlaya

Le ke wo lifafa main andar chala aaya

Aur sochne laga ki kya karun mein ab

Aa rahe the bahut se khayal mere dimag mein

Par kuch sujh na raha tha mere mann mein

Bas ek sawal ghum raha tha mere zehen mein

Ki kya ye lifafa sachi main wohi hi laaye the

Agar wo hi ye lifafa le kar aaye the

To kyun bina mile mujhse chale gaye wo

Kya baat thi jo unko meri chukhat tak leaai

Aur wo kya baat thi jo wo bina mile mujhse chale gaye

Yun to ek arsa hogaya hai unse mile hue

Phir aaj kaise unhein humari yaad aayi

Wo kya baat thi jo unhein yahan tak khinch layi

Aake bhi wo mujhe mile nahi

Chood gaye ye lifafa kyun kuch kaha nahi

Kuch baat to zaroor hogi jo wo yahan tak aaye

Kya karun mein ab badi mushkil mein ye dil

Kya hoga iss lifafe ke andar malun nahi

Badi asmanjas mein hai mera dil

Kya karun kuch samjh nahi aata
