ek aawaz chikh rhi thi , kisi ki rooh kanp rhi thi

ek aawaz chikh rhi thi , kisi ki rooh kanp rhi thi

ki khin se sunai yeh diya “ kya yeh Zanezer kabhi tod paungi?”

“kya yeh maut-e-alam kabhi chor paungi?”

galib ne yeh sunke kaha

“ki tu kyu pareshan hoti hai?”

“kyu aanshoon se jism ko dhoti hai?

kya tujhe uss farishte pr yakin nhi?

kya tujhe apne sabr pr yakin nhi?

to itminan se bss aayat kr

uss khuda se saari shikayat kr”

phir voh shmi hui, sisakti hui avaz sunai padti hai

“ aisa bhi kya gunah humne kr dia?

ki hume apno ne hi ked kr diya

kya kusur tha iss rooh ka joh yun tadap rhi hai?

aur kya wakai me khuda ko saari pareshaniyan dikhai pdh rhi hain?”

“ae galib tu kya jane apno se thukrae jane ka drd?

ki unki ek muskurahat bhi hame gadgad kr deti hai,kyuki yeh hain toh hmare apne hi

chalo abh hum aur kya baaten kren

bss in zanzeron ki chaya me lipat jaen”
