hamesha pur-sukun rahne vaali
malazibatabam
camp-guard se nikal gai
us ke saath
‘edward’ bhi
jo us par ashiq tha
”mujhe haath mat lagao”
phir se giraftar hone par
us ne kaha
haath gaadi men Daal kar
us ka jism
duur tak le jaaya gaya
bach nikalne ke bavajud
‘edward’
us din vapas aa gaya
use do zabanon men
saza-e-maut di gai
kyun?
