Boski

Gulzar

vaqt ko aate na jaate na guzarte dekha

na utarte hue dekha kabhi ilham ki surat

jama hote hue ik jagah magar dekha hai

shayad aaya tha vo khvabon se dabe paanv hi

aur jab aaya khayalon ko bhi ehsas na tha

aankh ka rang tulua hote hue dekha jis din

main ne chuma tha magar vaqt ko pahchana na tha

chand tutlae hue bolon men aahat bhi suni

duudh ka daant gira tha to vahan bhi dekha

boski beti miri chikni si resham ki dali

lipti-liptai hui reshmi tangon men padi thi

mujh ko ehsas nahin tha ki vahan vaqt pada hai

palna khol ke jab main ne utara tha use bistar par

lori ke bolon se ik baar chhua tha us ko

badhte nakhunon men har baar tarasha bhi tha

chudiyan chadhti utarti thiin kalai pe musalsal

aur hathon se utarti kabhi chadhti thiin kitaben

mujh ko maalum nahin tha ki vahan vaqt likha hai

vaqt ko aate na jaate na guzarte dekha

jamaa hote hue dekha magar us ko main ne

is baras boski atharah baras ki hogi
