उलझन

एक उलझन थी मन में,

सोचा, चलो थोड़ा अपनों से साझा करूँ,

पर किस तरह ? अपने ही विचारों में उलझ कर रह गई।

एक रात फरिश्ते ने दस्तक दी – (2)

पूछा, कोई ख्वाहिश?

ख्वाहिश! ये क्या होता है?

पर कुछ देर सोचा और याद आया,

हाँ, थी न ख्वाहिश

पर अब..........

वो तो बचपन की बातें थीं (2)

दफन हो गईं बरसों पहले।

अरे! फरिश्ते तुम तो नाराज़ हो गए,

भई कोई गिला, कोई शिकवा नहीं है ज़िंदगी से (2)

ढूंढ लिया बचपन अपने बच्चों के बचपन में, ढूंढ लिया बचपन अपने बच्चों के बचपन में।।
