Nurse

Aftab Shamsi

shahr ke haspatal men us ko

ek hafta hua hai aae hue

”sat number” ka kaana thekedar

kanpta tha jo dekh kar nashtar

us ke zakhmon pe aaj kal vo khud

apne hathon se phaae rakhti hai

langda budh-sen ”gyarah number” ka

us ki ankhon men daal kar ankhen

ghunt kadvi dava ke piita hai

”panch number” ka diq-zada shaer

dekh kar us ko sher kahta hai

ward ke kitne hi marizon se

us ne vaada kiya hai shadi ka

ward ke kitne hi marizon ko

tandurusti bahal hone par

us ke ham-rah ghar basana hai!
