“Sorry”



raat jab us ne merii nazm sunii
sun ke kuchh der vo hairaan rahii
aur phir kahne lagii….
“tum to aise nahiiN likhte thai kabhi
ye suKhan-goii kahaaN se seekhii?
aise jazbaat kahaaN se laaye?
aur ehsaas kii shiddat itnii?”

meri aaNkhoN meiN ubharte Gham ko
us ne mehsoos kiyaa hi hogaa
aur rafaaqat ke voh beetay lamhe
jin ko shaayad voh bhulaa baiThii thii
ek saa’at ke liye
Ghaaliban yaad kiyaa hi hogaa

is se pehle k laraztii aavaaz
aur palkoN pe thiraktay aaNsoo
us pe ilzaam koii dhar detay
maiN ne nazroN ko bachaate hue haule se kahaa
“pehle aalam hi kahaaN thaa aisa”
us ne yak laKht jhukaa liiN aaNkheiN
aur phir sahme hue lahje meiN
keh ke “sorry” huii ruKhsat mujh se
