Chal Bhaag Chalen!
Kitni door tak,
Main tera haath pakad ke aaya tha,
Kitni veeraniyan theen,
Jinhen hum ne basaya tha.
Jaaney kis ko shikayat thee hum se...
Jaaney kaun bigda baitha tha?
Jaaney kis ki dua main tanaffur tha itna...
Jaaney kaun itna bhara baitha tha?
Kiyun hanstey dilon ko saugwar kiya...
Yun muskurati akhiyun ko ashkbaar kiya?
Kiya gunaah kiya tha main ne...?
Jo is shiddat se tujhey pyar kiya!
Aaj khadshaat main ghira baitha hoon,
Ufaq par ubharti kaali aandhiyun ko,
Aur teri aankhun main chillati faryaad ko,
Main khali khali nazrun se dekh raha hun.
O janaan!
Teri aankhun ka karb...
Mairey dil main utra jaata hai.
Chal Bhaag Chalen!!
Dekh!
Toofan badhaa aata hai.
Magar yeh kiya?
Mairey paaon iss raet main,
Tairey paaon uss reet main,
Aisey kiyun jakdey gayey hain?
Mohabbat...
Gunaah to nahin!
Mohabbat, gunaah hi to nahin.
Magar jaaney kiyun,
Teri meri iss duniya main,
Mohabbat hi ko panaah nahin!!
Chal Bhaag Chalen...
Mohabbat ko panaah nahin!!!
I have been meaning to post this poem, I had written way back in 1997-98, for a long time. AWK, the kvetcher, had posted it on her blog once as a guest post, and here is thanking her for the encouragement. This is one of those rare poems of mine which even I like, one that does not get booed despite its bordering-on-scandalous title, and the only one I can recite from memory. Some six years later, I had written a sequel to this poem, which I intend posting soon....
It just felt the right sort of update when everyone seems to be exchanging roses....:) ¶ 2/15/2005 01:38:00 PM
