Kahaani Jaani Pehchaani Si Hai (Part 2)

(Concluding part. Please refer to the previous poem)

....Samjhaya thaa kai baar
gar hai saccha pyaar
toh seekhle karna
apne partner pe
aetbaar.

Magar nahin.
Baat dimaag mein kahaan jaane waali thee.
Akal toh saari
gym mein utaar li
janaab ne.
Body jo banaani thee.

Bola
"Sahi keh raha hai bro.
Aetbaar uspe hai
khud pe lekin
bharosa nahin.
Darrta hoon
koi kami naa reh jaaye
khud ke pyaar mein.
Darrta hoon
Koi aur na karde poori
uss ek kami ko.
Shaq uspe nahin
khud per hai."

Kehkar
chup karaa deta thaa
hamesha.
Aur hamesha ki tarah
bhaag raha hai
Priya ko manaane ke liye.

Usi pal
jeb se apni
photo nikaala maine
apni "Priya" ka.
Kuchh saal pehle
main bhi
ek "Rahul" hee toh thaa.

Aankh ke kone se nikalta hua
ek aansoo ponchha
aur socha
aaj tehelte tehelte
kaafi shaam ho gayi hai.
Akela ghar
intezaar karta hoga.

Akela ghar
intezaar karta hoga.
