Surreal

dariya ke kinare pe miri laash padi thi aur paani ki tah mein wo mujhe dhoond raha tha...

hammam ke aaine mein shab doob rahi thi cigarette se naye din ka dhuan phail raha tha...

darwaza khatkhata ke sitare chale gaye khwabon ki shaal odh ke main oonghta raha...

jaane kis ko dhoondne dakhil hua hai jism mein haddiyon mein rasta karta hua peela bukhar...

phir koi wusat-e-afaq pe saaya daale phir kisi aankh ke nuqte mein utara jaun...

tasweer mein jo qaid tha wo shakhs raat ko khud hi frame tod ke pahlu mein aa gaya...

wo tum tak kaise aata jism se bhaari saaya tha...

chai mein us ke pistan the mera badan paani mein tha...

main khud ko marte hue dekh kar bahut khush hoon ye dar bhi hai ki miri aankh khul na jaye kahin...

gul-daan mein gulab ki kaliyan mahak uthin kursi ne us ko dekh ke aaghosh wa kiya...

raat-bhar socha kiye aur subh-dam akhbar mein apne hathon apne marne ki khabar dekha kiye...

koi bhooli hui shai taaq-e-har-manzar pe rakkhi thi sitare chhat pe rakkhe the shikan bistar pe rakkhi thi...
