Hua tha kuch kal

Aankh khuli toh dustak par akhbar roll hua pada tha

Utha kar dekha

bayaan-e-haal kuch ajeeb hi lag raha tha

Meri kachchi neend ke sapne, 
surkhiyon ki tarah pehle panne pe bikhre thay..

Halki halki si hawa kati ghaas se khelti, 
thand ka aaghas kar rahi thi

Pichli raat ki baarish ki narmi
abhi bhi akhbar ke panno mein mehsus ho rahi 

Yeh bhari sardi mein bhi baarish hoti hai bhala?

Panne palte, chai chadhai

Raat ki bchi aadhi cigarette ash tray se utha kar

Stove ki daabi aanch se jala hi raha tha

Ki nazar 4th page ke gumshuda column pe chapi meri photo par gai..

Abhi toh nahi mra hoon main yaar..

Ek kash liya,

Hawa mei dhuien se bante shape ko dekh hi raha tha

Ki yaad aaya..

Kuch hua tha kal raat ko shaayad..

Patthar chale thay chowk pe

Saham gaya tha sabb kuch minto ke liye

Jaise pata nahi kitne barson ki aag chupa kar rakhi ho

Aur taash ki ek chaal ki tarah,

kisi ne ek hi baar mei saara daanv chal diya ho

Hua tha kuch kal shaayad
aag bhadki dono taraf se
humle hue, ghar toode
raakh ka dhuan baadal ki tarah chaa raha tha.. 

Tasveerien dhundli dhundli si hain

Ek badnaseeb patthar ka impression abhi bhi hai sir parr..

Uffff...

Pata nahi kya hua tha

Kisne kiya tha..

Humein kya pata..

Yeh sapne aur reality ke beech banta mera never-ending illusion..
