dhaage

ek chaadar hawa ke jhonke se ud kar aayi thi...
chaadar mein kuch aaadhe adhoore phool bane the...

phoolo ko poora karne mein bhool gaye ki woh asli nahi
kabhi sui ungliyo pe chubhi to maan lete ki woh kaante hain...
koshiso se phoolo mein jaan daalte gaye...
achanak ek din dekha ki phool mehakne lage hain...

phool cheekh cheekh kar kehte ki woh dhaage hain, bikhar jaayenge...
magar unme se aati khushboo kehti tumhi ne mujhe piroya hai bikharne thode hi doge...

kabhi mai phoolo ko poora karta to kabhi phool mujhe...
kabhi mai chaadar ko odh leta kabhi chaadar mujhe odh leti...

phir ek din achaanak ek dhoban aayi apni chaadar ki khair jaan ne...
chaadar se boli apne jism mein suiyaan piro kar kya paaya hai tumne...
yeh jise tum phool jaan rahi ho yeh rang jo tumme bhar gaye hain...
tum chaadar thi safed...rang bharne waale aksar rang badal jaate hain...

dhoban ne chaadar ko dhoya..geelepan mein chupke se chaadar royi...
idhar meri suyiyaan kho si gayi daraaz ke kisi kone mein...

dhaago ki kismat hai,
khud hi phool bante hain,
khud hi mehakne lagte hain...
bas jaate hain ek chaadar mein,
to nikal hi nahi paate bina toote..
