Desolation

Yeh jo,
gehre rang ki lipstick se
tum apne hothon ko sajaa rahi ho,
bataa rahi hai iski chamak,
kal din bhar, uski yaad mein,
kaafi cigarette ka dhuaan udaa thaa,
kaafi baney they saanson ke chhalle,
aur jaley they tumhaare honth bhi, kai baar.
Kya in jaley honthon ko,
aur der chhupa sakogi?

Yeh jo,
kaale rang ke chashme se
apni aankhon ko dhoop se bacha rahi ho,
ya chhupa rahi ho andhere ki aadh mein
aankhon ke neeche woh kaale ghere,
jo bataa rahe hain
kitni raatein kaati hain tumne jagkar,
uskey intezaar mein.
Aur kitney hee aansoo bahaaye gaye hain,
uss harjai ke jhoothe pyaar mein.
Kya in sach bolti aankhon ko,
aur der chhupa sakogi?

Yeh jo,
dagmag dagmag kar,
beech bazaar mein chalkar,
jala rahi ho laakhon ke dil,
woh madmastt chaal bhi gawaah hai,
pichhli raat ka,
Jab tumne akelepann ka jashn manaaya thaa.
Dekho, abhi tak uss aakhri jaam ka nasha, utraa nahin.
Kya is jhoomti chaal se, apne andar ka khaalipan,
aur der, chhupa sakogi?

Just Another Secret

Raat ke do baje
dheere se
ghar ka darwaaza kholti hai.
Damn you door. Don't make noise!

Dabe paaon
andhere se bhare
ghar ki deewaron mein
bijli ka switch dhoondti hai.
I hope he's sleeping. Ah, found it.


Magar ujaala hote hee
kuchh chaunk si jaati hai.
Fuck! What is he doing here?

"Arey Priya.
Aa gayi?
Tumhaara hee intezaar kar raha thaa.
Aaj bhi office mein kaafi kaam tha?
Kitna mehnat karti ho tum.
Tumhaare liye paasta banaaya hai.
Khaa lena.
Chal, I'll sleep.
Goodnight."

Ek minute laga usey
khud ko sambhaalne mein.
Achha hua, 
jo Rahul ko shaq nahin hua.
Pata chal jaata
toh usey kitna dukh hota.
Chhahe jaisa bhi ho
I still love him.
But waah Priya, waah.
Kisi baat ko secret rakhna
koi tujhse seekhe.


Aur muskuraate hue
gungunaate hue
let jaati hai
Rahul ke bagal mein.

Karwat lete hue
Rahul bhi hans raha hai.
Naadaan ladki.
Agar jaan gayi
ki sab kuchh jaanta hoon main
yeh ghar toot jaaega.
Ma baap ko dhakka lagega.
Waah Rahul, waah

Kisi baat ko secret rakhna
koi tujhse seekhe.
