“Aaj jaane ki zidd na karo…
Yun hi pehlu mein baithe raho…”
Haath mein ek garma garam masala
chai ka pyaala liye,
Khidki pe baithe, baarish ki
boondon ko nihaar rahi thi Rashi.
Is mausam ka mazaa hi kuch alag
hota hai!
Yeh barsaat kabhi bheegaati hai
toh kabhi muskuraana seekhati hai.
Yeh barsaat humein aksar
sataati rehti hai! Ha-ye!
Rashi ke liye, yeh mahina bahut
hi khaas tha,
Bada azzez tha use yeh saawan ka
mahina.
Par aaj, is pyaar bhare mausam
ki meeti si yaadein sanjone ke liye,
Uske saath… Koi nahi tha…!
Khayaloan mein doobe hue,
Achanak se Rashi ki nazar, uski
building ke neeche,
Raaste par chal rahe ek peele
rang ke chaate par padi…
Haldi ke rang se bhi peela,
bilkul chamakte suraj jaisa!
Aise rang ka chaata bhi koi leke
ghoomta hai bhalaa?
Aur who bhi… ek ladka…?
Rashi ki aankhoan
mein curiosity chamki!
Woh jhat se khidki se
jhank kar taadne lagi.
Kabhi daayein, toh
kabhi baaein!
Upar neech,
aade-tedhe, sab koshish kar li!
Apni gardan itni
marodne par bhi Rashi,
Us peele chaate
waale ajnabee ka chehra dekh nahi paayi!
Dikhe… toh uske
Woodland ke shoes.
Jo baarish ke chik
chik mein black se brown ho rahe the!
Bechare…
Rashi nirash hoke
andar jaane hi waali thi,
Jab us peele chaate
waale ajnabee ne upar uski khidki ki oar dekha,
Aur ek pyaari se smile ke saath,
He winked…!
Aur ek pyaari se smile ke saath,
He winked…!
Apne ghar se koasoan dur, ek
anjaane se shehar mein, aaj…
Rashi ka pehla janamdin tha!!!
