sudoor kamana
sari oorjaean
sari kshamataean khone par,
yani ki
bahut bahut
bahut boodha hone par,
ek din chahooanga
ki too mar jae.
(isalie nahian bataya
ki too dar jae.)
haan us din
apane hathoan se
tera sanskar karuanga,
usake thik ek mahine bad
maian marooanga.
us din maian
tujh mari huee ka
sauandary dekhooanga,
tere sthaee maun se sunooanga.
qarib,
aur qarib jate hue
pahale mastak
aur aantim taur par
charan choomooanga.
apani budhiya ki
jhurriyoan ke sath-sath
usaki ek-ek khoobi ginooanga
uangaliyoan se.
jhurriyoan se zyada
khoobiyaan hoangi
aur phir ginate-ginate
ginate-ginate
uangaliyaan kaanpane lageangi
aangootha thak jaega.
phir man-man mean ginooanga
poore mahine ginata rahooanga
bahut kam souanga,
aur chhipakar nahian
apane bete-beti
pote-potiyoan ke samane
aansuoan se roooanga.
ek mahina,
halaanki zyada hai
par marana chahooanga
ek mahine hi bad,
aur us dauran
taza karooanga
teri ek-ek yad.
astik ho jaooanga
ek mahine ke lie,
bas tera nam japooanga
aur dhoooanga
falatoo jivan ka sakshat bojh
har pal tisoan roz.
in tis dinoan mean
kagaz nahian chhooooanga,
qalam nahian chhooooanga,
akhabar nahian padhooanga,
sangit nahian sunooanga,
bas apane bhitar
tujhi ko guanjauanga
aur tisavian rat ke
gahan sannate mean
khatak se mar jaooanga.
