Abu Bakr Abbad
barson baad jab us ko dekha phuul sa chehra badal chuka tha
peshani par fikr ki aayat ankhen ab sanjida thiin
hont kanval ab bhi vaise par shadabi kuchh kam kam thi
pakke phalon ka bojh uthae jism tana bal khata tha
rangin pairahan men ab bhi
khvab ki surat lagti thi
jaane kaisi kaisi hikayat dekh use yaad aati thi
pahli dafa jab saath the baithe class ke andar ham donon
us ke jism ke lams ne mujh ko
pahle to bulaya tha phir pakka dost banaya tha
shaam talak mele men kaise phirte rahe the idhar-udhar
raat gae mammy ne us ko khoti-khari sunai thi
rail ke andar baith ke kaise sharmae ghabrae the
baghair ticket ke pahunch ke ghar par kitni mauj manai thi
dopahar ko dhabe men
chaae aur cigarette ke saath
thode se rumani ho kar
kya kya baten karte the
ghar ke bahar lawn bhi hoga genda aur gul-mohar ke phuul
khari khaat nahin rakhenge bed bade mahnge honge
suit mira aisa hoga teri saari resham ki
bete ka jo naam rakhenge hindu na muslim hoga
bil chukate vaqt men aksar paise kam pad jaate the
dekh ke daddu hansta tha phir
jaane kyuun khush hota tha
koi baat nahin hai bete
kal jab aao de jaana
jaate hue jab seth ne us ki kamar men baazu pahnaya
dekh ke us ki ankhen mujh ko chhalak padi thiin chup ke se
soch raha tha palat ke ab vo
puchhegi tum kaise ho
ye hai aap ki coffē sahab aur bhi kuchh chahiye hoga
