niind ke paas ek raat hai
mere paas ek kahani hai
jangal ke paas ek aurat thi
aurat bachcha paida karne ke dard se mar rahi thi
ek shikari vahan pahunch gaya
aur bachche ki ankhon ke evaz
aurat ki madad karne par amada ho gaya
aurat ne judvan bachche jane
shikari ke haath
ankhon ki do jodiyan aaiin
us vaqt sikke ijad nahin hue the
ek jodi aankh ke badle
zindagi bhar ka saman kharida ja sakta tha
jo log dusron ki ankhen hasil nahin kar sakte
apni ankhon ka sauda kar lete
har saude ki tarah
bechte vaqt
ankhon ki sirf aadhi qimat hasil hoti thi
ankhen bechne vaale
sirf aadhi zindagi kharid sakte the
aurat ne shikari se juda ho kar
apne bachchon ko jangal men chhod diya
jaisa ki us ne apne shauhar ko
samundar men chhod diya tha
bachche bhediyon men pal kar bade hue
un men se har ek
dusre ko
apni maan ki kokh ka ghasib
aur apni ankhon ke saude ka baais samajhne laga
jab
bailon men paanv tutne ki bimari phail jaane ki vaj.h se
andhe ghulamon ki maang badh gai
ek burda-farosh
unhen bhediyon ke ghol se chura le gaya
zamin men jute hue andhe bhaai
hal le kar itni mukhalif samt men chalte ki
un ke aaqa ko
khuda se darkhvast kar ke
ek khad-khadane vaala saanp un ke pichhe lagana pada
main bahut dinon pahle
is shahr ka muhasara karne aaya tha
mere parcham par rahne vaala uqaab ud gaya
mere sipahiyon ne
apni talvar taksalon men bech diin
ghode ne apni khaal
mashkiza banane vaale ko hadiya kar di
shahr ki divaron men
shigaf kahan hai
ye us ke charvahon ko bhi maalum hai
aur un ki bhedon ko bhi
magar ye jang
ghaddaron aur chaupayon ko bhi kharid kar nahin jitna chahta
main samundaron ko kashtiyon se
aur talvar ko talvar se napta huun
main ghulam aurat ka
ghulam mard se paida hui aulad nahin
jo ek ghulam shakh se kaman
aur dusri ghulam shakh se tiir banata hai
main us khadkhadane vaale saanp ko kuchal dunga
aur judvan bhaiyon ke kandhe se jo utaar kar
use gahri khaai men phenk dunga
main unhen le kar jangal men nikal aunga
aur us shikari ko talash karunga
jo bachcha paida karne ke evaz us ki ankhen talab karta hai
aur us maan ko talash karunga
jo baghair ankhon ke bachche ko chhod kar bhaag jaati hai
ek din bechi hui ankhen
shikari se sauda kar vo shakhs ko pahchan lengi
aur andhe bachche
us aadmi se ahani ankhen chhin kar
apne shikari ko dhund nikalenge
aur shikari se us aurat ka pata puchh kar rahenge
jo unhen jangal men chhod kar chali gai thi
chahe vo aurat meri biivi hi kyon na ho
