Original Submission by Krishan Tandon

'बिछड़ना'

वो बिछड़ेगा ये कभी सोचा भी नहीं था

जिसे जी भर कर देखा भी नहीं था।

उसकी ही आहटें चारों तरफ़ थीं

की जिसका घर में साया भी नहीं था।

जुदा होते हैं जितनी चाहतों में

तुझे इतना तो चाहा भी नहीं था।

हवा ख़ामोश थी और बुझ गया वो

चिराग़-ए-दिल तो भड़का भी नहीं था।

हुए बर्बाद उन ख़्वाबों की ख़ातिर

जि न्हें आँखों से देखा भी नहीं था।

कृष्ण, एक चाँद भी था पास मेरे

मगर घर में उजाला भी नहीं था।
