Kaisa lagta hoga – a poem

kaisa lagta hai,
pyar se galey laga ke rona
tum jaantey ho

kaisa lagta hai,
baithey-baithey khwabon mein khona
tum jaantey ho

kaisa lagta hai,
aansuon se, muskurahton se, kisi pe pagal hona
tum jaantey ho

chaltey-bhagtey, beet jaati hai zindagi
dil dhadak nahi pata hai
chaltey-chaltey dard kartey hein paanv
insaan kahin pahunch nahi pata hai
muskuratey-muskuratey moonh thak jaatein hein
dil hans nahi pata hai
khushi ke aansoon kya hotey hein
kabhi jana nahi
aansuon mein umr nikal jati hai
pur mun khull ke ro nahi pata hai

tum ho, mein hoon
hum saath hein
billi ke bachchey ko hum saath sehlayengey
apney bachchey ko mein rakhungi tumhari god mein
usey lori hum saath sunayengey

akelapan chaho to bol dena mujhey,
chali jaoongi, kuchh der
lekin hum mun mein rehtey hein ek doosrey ke
complete akelapun kaisey paaogey ..
