kyuun bataataa nahin koi kuchh bhi — Alok Mishra

khud-kushi jaisi koi baat nahin
ik zaraa mujh ko bad-gumaani hai

mujhe pata hai ki rone se kuchh nahin hotaa
nayaa saa dukh hai to thoDaa chhalak gayaa huun main

sab sitaare dilaasa dete hain
chaand raaton ko chikhtaa hai bahut

kyaa zarurat hai mujh ko chehre ki
kaun chehre se jaantaa hai mujhe

main bhi bikhraa huaa huun apnon mein
vo bhi tanhaa saa apne ghar mein hai

ajiib khvaab thaa aankhon mein niind chhoD gayaa
ki niind guzri hai mujh ko zalil karte hue
