Barish ke Baad

Barish ke baad sheherthoda sa saaf lagta hai,jaise kisi ne ussemaafi maang li ho.

Sadak pe paani thehra hai,aur usme aasman kaek chhota sa tukdakhud ko dekh raha hai.

Main us tukde se bachkenikal jaata hoon —kuch cheezein todne kamann nahin karta.

Chhat pe do kursiyaan hain, ek pe main baitha hoon,

Raat aayi hai, magar tanha nahin aayi hai woh, saath laayi hai wohi baatein jo main bhool chuka tha.

tum se ek baat kehni thi, magar lafz kam pad gaye — so maine khamoshi likh di.
