Baat kuch
saal pehle,
Garmiyon ki
hai
Jab bijli
har roz chali jaati thi,
Aur roz
raat chhat par fir hawa khane
Woh aati
thi …
Main aur
mera dost,
Har raat
wahin chhat par baith
Usse dekha
karte the,
Woh kya
kehte hain,
Haan,
aankhein seka karte the …
Mehrooni
rang ki salwar,
Toh kabhi
firozi rang ka kurta,
Kabhi jeans
mein toh kabhi pajaame mein
Woh apni
dost ko lekar chhat par aati thi,
Thoda aasmaan
mein roshan chand ko niharti,
Thoda humein
dekh muskurati thi …
Hum bhi
kahaan shareef the,
Plan naye
roz banate the,
Jaan bhoojh
kar roz raat,
Naye naye
romantic gaane gungunate the …
Fir hua
yun,
Ki ek raat woh fir chhat par
tehelne aayi,
Hamesha ki
tarah hum bhi gungunaye,
Aur
achanak, suna ki uski chatt se kuch awaaz aa rahi hai
Pata chala
humare mukhde ka antra
Toh aaj woh
gaa rahi hai …
Aur fir kya
tha,
Dono chhaton
ke beech jo thodi duri thi,
Woh humne
ek chalaang mein hi puri ki,
Aur jaa
pahunche uss paar….
Uss raat
taaron ki chaadar tale,
Hum yunhi
baithe rahe,
Baatein toh
karne ko kaafi thi,
Par naa
jaane kyun hum dono chup rahe ….
Woh kehte
hain na,
Kabhi kabhar
bin kahe hi sab bol jaate hain,
Shayad waisi
hi raat thi woh,
Jiske pal
aaj bhi aasmaan mein uss chaand ko dekh yaad aa jaate hain ….
Garmiyon sang
woh bhi chali gayi thi,
Aur pehli
baarish ki khusbu sang,
Apni kuch
yaadein hamesha ke liye chod gayi thi …
Nisha,
shayad yehi naam tha uska…
Lovely! The low key ending is graceful. Loved reading it.
