maikhana

,akele ho agar tum maikhane mein to hataash met hona. tumhare liye mein hoon jo tumhare afsaano€se waakif hoon. is zarrenawaazi ka kyakarun, aadat se majbur hoon. mera shamsher nahi maanta ki mein akela hoon. toh mere lavz mere khayalaat mere saath dudte hai.

nazrein jo ghumti hai, muskaanon aur khoyi hui baaton mein, tab akeyla mehsus karta hai dil. kyu aye dil tu akeyla hai. kyu shamaa hite hue bhi andhera hai.

yeh jaam khayalon mein rehte khatm nahi hoti, kya yeh dil ki aarzoo hai, jo har0 zubaan mein bhari hui hoti hai.

jo sharaab chue laboon ko, gale laga loon apni chahton. magar kya karooon yeh kambakht dil e zameer kisi zalim se kam nahi hai. kann ke barabarr hote hue bhi, duniya samaa ke rakha hai.

aye maikhane

tujhe kya hai

zehr bharne ke alawa

tujhe kya shikwa hai.

tu woh hai,

jiski khwahish tawaaif bhi nahi apnati.

tu hi zindagi hai. lekin tu hi tawaif hai
