koi mausam ka jhoka tha....

Koi mausam ka zhoonka tha..
Jo is deewar par latki tasweer tirchi kar gaya hai..

gaye mausam me ye deewaren yun sili nahi thi..
magar is dafa na jane kyon inme seelan aa gayi hai…
dararen pad gayi hai…

aur seelan behti hai…aise
jaise… khusk rukhsaroon pe geelen aason chalte ho..

Ye barrish…
ye barish gungunati thi…isi chhat ki munderon par..
ye khidki-khidkiyon k kaanch pe ubgli se likh jaati thi sandese…
bilakhti baithi rehti hai ab..band roshandano k peeche..

hawa ki saans kyon bojhal hai?
meri waakif thi jab aati thi..
aur bhar jaati thi aise..
jaise badbaan bhathe hain kasti mein..

Dupehren aisi lagti hai..
bina muhron ke khaali khaane rakhe hain…
na koi khelne wala hai baazi..
aur na hi koi chaal chalta hai..

na din hota hai…aur na hi raat..
sabhi kuch ruk gaya hai…

wo kya mausam ka jhonka tha…jo is deewar par latki tasweer tirchi kar gaya hai…
