Ek Baat

Ek baat kahu...

Jis kaya mei mai lipti hu
us kaya ki kahani ho tum
jis fasaane to gunguna rahi hu
us fasaane ka tarana ho tum
jaane kisse dhoondhne chali thi mai
is udasi ke ghambhare saathi ho tum
mere shabd tum ho
meri tanhai bhi tum
meri ragini, mera josh ho tum
jis goonj ka intezaar tha
wo buland ehsaas ho tum

aaj ek baat keh du?
har baat ki neev ho tum
mera badbadana
mera chup ho jaana
meri takleef; mera muskarana
aaj meri zindagi ka har karan ho sirf tum
kyu mujhe tadpa rahe ho
kyu majboor kar rahe ho
kyu meri sacchai ka prashnchinh ban gaye ho

ye ladki khamosh hai
jo bolta badan hai;
wo bas tumhe khamoshi ko sunne ka nyota bhej raha hai
ek baat kahu?
bolo tumhe kaise mohit karu
kya mere payal ki jhankar bahut nahi hai?
kya mere aankhon ka kajal kuch feeka pad gaya hai?
tumne mujhme wo kya nahi pehchana
dhoondh lo
mere ye akshar hai mera pratibimb.
