DEEWAR

Kaun kehta hai ki deewaron ke kaan hote hain?

Maine to dekha hai unhe chalte hue

Is kone se us kone tak, subah savere, aankh malte hue


Jab kharaasha thha unhe bachpan mein ek baar

To khoon nikla thha

Magar jaane meri marham-patti kyun hui


Kabhi chidkar unpar kitaab patki

To mujh par waapas de maari

Kabhi sar tek kar royi

To unhone aansoo bhi pochhe mere

Band kamre mein jab unse sawaal poochhe

To mann me kuchh zara sa jawaab aaya to thha


Is waqt bhi jab main ye peeth tek kar likh rahi hoon

Wo peechhe se sahara de rahi hain

Jaise vaade ki pakki koi saheli

Mere akelepan pe pehra de rahi hai


Paas aao to ek baat kahoon, badi pyaari saheli hai meri

Par zyada na kahun to achha hai

Kaan bade tez hain uske!
