mazaak

koshish kam kahan karta hoon.. kafi kaha-suna..
phir maaf kiya.. tumhari hothon se woh tirchhi
muskaan.. munh chidhati naalaayaki ka ehsaas har
ulte-seedhe pal.. kamzori, kaayarta aur ek-adh
kaamyaabi kabhi-kabhi.. in nanhi tinko ke sahaare
tair-tair na-ummeediyon ke khare paani se
saraabor.. doobne ki himmat hoti to azaadiyan kab
ki paa leta.. aur phir tumhari hothon se adhjali
cigarette ki tarah sulagti ye thes bhari muskaan..
unhi angaaron se jalaakar raakh kar deta..
