ज़िन्दगी
भूमिका विहीन,
किश्तों में छपने वाली
एक अजीबोग़रीब किताब,
जिसे नाम सदा
पढ़ने वाले ही देते हैं!

यह तो यातना के
तलघर में क़ैद
इन्साफ मांगता
शहर मेरा है।

मस्तिष्क सुन्न
आत्मा बेचैन
शायद फिर कोई कविता
आ रही है।

आज बाजार में
कई नक़ाब खरीदे गए,
एक जायदात
नीलाम होगी कल।
*
एक आग पी थी
और उगाये थे शब्द
हथेलियों पर

आवाज़ जिनकी
उधार नहीं
वे क्यूँ हैं खामोश?

हर शै पर एक असहनीय बोझ,
जिसके तले दबा आज का इंसान
हर रोज उठता है,
ज़िन्दगी का बोझ ढोते चलता है,

("चाँद का पैवन्द")

लोग चुप हैं
कि वे डरते हैं शब्दों की मौत से
इस चुप्पी से
मर नहीं रहे अब शब्द
मर रहे हैं अर्थ अब शब्दों के
