Nahin Mera Aanchal Maila Hai

Parveen Shakir

nahin mera anchal mela hai

aur teri dastar ke saare pech abhi tak tikhe hain

kisi hava ne in ko ab tak chhune ki jurat nahin ki hai

teri ujli peshani par

gae dinon ki koi ghadi

pachhtava ban ke nahin phuti

aur mere mathe ki siyahi

tujh se aankh mila kar baat nahin kar sakti

achchhe ladke

mujhe na aise dekh

apne saare jugnu saare phuul

sambhal ke rakh le

phate hue anchal se phuul gir jaate hain

aur jugnu

pahla mauqaa paate hi ud jaate hain

chahe odhni se bahar ki dhuup kitni hi kadi ho!
