Abrar Ahmad
vaqt koi shaam nahin
jise vahshat se dhanpa ja sake
na koi giit, jis ki lai
hamare honton ki giraft men ho
ye ek la-matanahi la-taalluq hai
vaqt thahra rahta hai
un zaminon par
jahan se nae qafile nikal padte hain
vaqt-guzari ke kathin safar par
guzishta bahut pichhe rah gaya
jahan tak koi sadak nahin jaati
gaadi ki khat-khat se
shahr ki virani kahan kam hoti hai
muqaffal gharon
aur qahva-khanon ki bhunbhunahat men
saari baten to log karte hain!
kitabon ki jilden, kaghazon ka shor
mobile ke paighamat
aur vaqt guzar jaata hai
halanki nahin guzarta
bachchon ko sidhiyan chadha chukne ke baad
dahliz par baith kar
kisi be-samt ufuq ko ghurte hue?
hisab karte hue
un khvabon kaa, jo dekhe
