Arifa Shahzad
faqat khali pinjra badan ka pada tha
aur nim-va in kivadon ki har charcharahat men
hairaniyan bolti thiin
zamin ki faza se
mujhe kis ne bahar dhakela
falak tak miri dastaras kyuun nahin thi
na jaane main kab tak khala men bhatakti rahi thi
vahin par
munaqqash darichon men
sarsabz belen sutunon se lipti hui thiin
chamakte hue chhat ke fanus ki raushni men
belon ke patton ki ankhon men thahri nami
jhilmilane lagi thii!
magar sab ki nazren
saji tabalon par jami thiin
kisi ko khabar kab hui thi
vahan men nahin thi
