lapata

MORE BYMubashshir Ali Zaidi

    maiñ lāpatā ho gayā huuñ

    ka.ī hafte hue

    police ko report likhvā.e

    tab se roz thāne jaatā huuñ

    havaldār se pūchhtā huuñ

    merā kuchh patā chalā

    hamdard police afsar māyūsī se sar hilātā hai

    phañsī phañsī āvāz meñ kahtā hai

    abhī tak tumhārā kuchh surāġh nahīñ milā

    phir vo tasallī detā hai

    kisī na kisī din

    tum mil jāoge

    behosh

    kisī saḌak ke kināre

    burī tarah zaḳhmī

    kisī aspatāl meñ

    laash sūrat

    kisī nadī meñ

    merī āñkhoñ meñ aañsū aa jaate haiñ

    maiñ bāzār chalā jaatā huuñ

    apnā istiqbāl karne ke liye

    gul-farosh se phuul ḳharīdtā huuñ

    apne zaḳhmoñ ke liye

    chemist se

    marham-paTTī sāmān

    thoḌī ruuī

    aur dard-kushā goliyāñ

    apnī āḳhirī rusūmāt ke liye

    masjid dukān se ek kafan

    aur apnī yaad manāne ke liye

    ka.ī mom-battiyāñ

    kuchh log kahte haiñ

    kisī ke marne par

    mom-battī nahīñ jalānī chāhiye

    lekin vo ye nahīñ batāte

    ki aañkh taara lāpatā ho jaa.e

    to raushnī kahāñ se laa.eñ

    ghar charāġh bujh jaa.e

    to phir kyā jalā.eñ

    main lapata ho gaya hun

    kai hafte hue

    police ko report likhwae

    tab se roz thane jata hun

    hawaldar se puchhta hun

    mera kuchh pata chala

    hamdard police afsar mayusi se sar hilata hai

    phansi phansi aawaz mein kahta hai

    abhi tak tumhaara kuchh suragh nahin mila

    phir wo tasalli deta hai

    kisi na kisi din

    tum mil hi jaoge

    behosh

    kisi saDak ke kinare

    ya buri tarah zaKHmi

    kisi aspatal mein

    ya lash ki surat

    kisi nadi mein

    meri aankhon mein aansu aa jate hain

    main bazar chala jata hun

    apna istiqbaal karne ke liye

    gul-farosh se phul KHaridta hun

    apne zaKHmon ke liye

    chemist se

    marham-paTTi ka saman

    thoDi rui

    aur dard-kusha goliyan

    apni aaKHiri rusumat ke liye

    masjid ki dukan se ek kafan

    aur apni yaad manane ke liye

    kai mom-battiyan

    kuchh log kahte hain

    kisi ke marne par

    mom-batti nahin jalani chahiye

    lekin wo ye nahin batate

    ki aankh ka tara lapata ho jae

    to raushni kahan se laen

    ghar ka charagh bujh jae

    to phir kya jalaen
