Poem:
Tumhay yaad hai…
Woh Coffee ka aik cup…
Jis k bahanay
betha tha pehli baar
mei tumharay sirhanay?
Yun mujay kuch
yaad hein
woh lamhay suhanay…
k jab tumharay labon ki
parchaai chhapp gayi thi
us pyalay par
jo pohancha tha
honton tak tumharay.
Larza gayi thi sansein,
aur uth raha tha dhuwan…
Jab ho raha tha Ik dil
dusray dil se ronuma.
Mein aaj phir usi jagaah
aik coffee ka cup
peenay aaya hun…
Kuch teri baatein
jo bhuli thi
unko bhi yaad kar
saath le aaya hun.
Par kia hai yeh majra
batlaye koi bhala…
Ajab hai ronuma
koi naya silsila yahan…
Jaise dia ho kisi ne sirf
haathon mein
thanda paani thama…
Woh teri dudh si mulayam
aankhein kahan hein?
Woh teri aanch si garam
qurbatein kahan hein?
Kaha hein woh teri
chaashni si batein…
Woh neem kardwi
shikayatein kahan hein?
Aaj lagta hai jese
dukaandaar ka dhyaan
kuch kam hai.
Pyaali to ghaliban wahi hai…
Par aaj coffee mein
dudh se le kar shakr
sabhi ghum hai.
Chalo mei ab ke
ye coffee ka aik cup
khud ghar mein banalunga…
Tuj par ik nayi nazm likh kar
kaam chalalunga.
— Dedicated to the lovers reminiscing in the nostalgia of beloved long gone.
