us toophani rat
jab baras raha tha ahankar
aur jag utha tha ravan
nee dilli ke ramalila maidan mean
kroor attahasoan ke bich
ardhyaratri mean maianne
ek bhatakati huyi
din, malin, kintu shalin
yuvati ko
sisakate huye dekha
utsukatavash pas jakar poochha
‘‘devi !
itani rat gaye tum yahaan ?’’
usane sisakate hue kaha
‘‘maian ek parityakta hooan,
mera pati ‘vidhan’ hai,
jo ek phaishanapast
adhunika ‘phareb’ ke sath
vivah racha laya hai,
usi ne mujhe
ghar se bahar nikala hai
ek topivale neta ne
mujhe tiraskrit dekhakar
mere pati ko lata da hai,
doorase bhagavavastradhari baba ne
neta ji ko bhi pachha da hai,
usane
meri luti asmita ko
sari duniya ke age
numaish si banakar
paros dala hai,
ab chhote chhote bachche bhi
mujhe muanh chidhate haian
aksar un pattharoan se ghav bhi ho jate haian
jinhean ve meri or nirarthak hi chalate haian
ab maian apani shalinata par pachhata rahi hooan
sirph ‘sachchaee’ hone ka
dand pa rahi hooan.
