Uska Akelapan

By Arpit Govil

Tere us shabd se jo mere mann ka darpan phoot gaya,

Tere kuchh lafzon se jo main thoda sa rooth gaya,

Kya itni jaldi tere sabr ka baandh toot gaya?

Mujhe yun laga, ki meri saari kamayi mohabbat koi mujhse loot gaya.

Yun nahi ki apni mohabbat pe mujhe koi shak hai,

Par kya roothne ka bas tujhe hi hak hai??

Tu kehta hai ki akele chhod do mujhe!

Kya tera akelapan dekhne ke liye chaha hai tujhe?

Kahaan sara zamana chain se so raha tha,

Us chandni raat me mera mann siskiyan bhar ro raha tha,

Main kaise batayun ki tere deedar ko ye mann kitna tarasta hai,

Kya tujhe ilm bhi hai ki teri yaad me sawan kitna barasta hai,

Tu yun ajnabee rahi ki tarha mujhe chhod ke chala jata hai,

Tera ye rubaab mujhe andar tak jhinjhod ke chala jaata hai,

Tu phir kitni maasumiyat se apna jurm-e-iqraar karta hai,

Mera bhi dil tujhse narazgi ko inkaar karta hai,

Mere liye to tera sirf zehen hi nawaaz ho gaya,

Aur tu meri ek karwat se itna naaraz ho gaya?

Zamaane baad kisi ke dil me panaah payi hai,

Ghaneri raat ke musafir ki tu ek subah ban aayi hai,

Mukammal ye taalluk humara bahut sabr se hua hai,

Rafta rafta kareeb aana, mohabbat-e-abr se hua hai.

Khud ko tujhme bachane ke liye hum apni haisiyat bhi daav pe laga denge,

Teri hansi ki keemat, tera akelapan hai?

Dil pe patthar rakh lenge aur wo bhi chuka denge.
