Ek ladki
chup-chup
baithi rehti thi
kuch kisise zyaada
nahin kehti thi
dosto se toh ghula mili thi
par ladko se sharmaya karti thi
ek anjaan si khwahish chahti thi
apne dard hiqayat ko woh
kabhi nahi bataati thi
jab ek din aagaaz tere huya
zindagi mein uski
savera huya
falak se
malak
utar gayi thi ab
akelepan se andhera huya
ek din jab
uske saath tu baitha tha
tune hi ussey baatein
shuru kari...
