Aadha...

Jab raat ke do baje
dhuein ki dukan se
ek saya
tin cup chay pikar
vapas aa raha tha

falaq ki gardan pe
ek sadhak ko dekha
uska jism
andhere se sil kar
buna gaya tha
uski harek part mein
pyas aur bhay ka aks tha
harek darwaje ka tala tha bhay
aur chabhi thi pyas

falaq saat din pahle
sirf falaq hi tha...
haan ek pyas thi shayad
ki main kyun hoon...
vaqt ke sath sath
darwaje kholta jata hai
aur khud ko khota jata hai

aadhe tak aasan tha
kyunki
tab tak uske wajood ki sankhya thi
lekin ab rupantaran ka vaqt hai
sankhya madhya mein tangi hai
use chunana hai
ki wo khud ko kho de
ya khud ko pa le..

uski tadap shirsh pe hai
usne aadha andhera khoya hai
aur aadha chand paya hai
ab wo kya karei....????
