Khaalis Ishq

Kitni khaalis thi muhabbat ek zamaane mein Jaise Amma-Baba ki, Amma hansti aur Baba muskurate, Amma roti to Baba tadap jaate. Baba chidte to Amma dar jaati, par har shaam, dono, phir ik dusre pe muskurate.

Kitni khaalis thi na unki muhabbat! Bin alfaazon ke duniya ki khabar lete, aur phir, bas ik dusre ko ghoorte. Ik bolti to ik sunte, bas, yun hi jeete.

Kitna khaalis tha na unka waqt, ik doosre ko yaad karte, saara din guzaarte aur bas ik jhalak mein, har shaam, khud ko khod dete.

Arz ho gaya, sab badal gaya. Par na wo badle, na unki muhabbat. Jaise aaj ki subah, Baba ko saans leni nahi thi, Amma akele saans le na saki.

Shayad aap aur main, Amma-Baba nahi, humari muhabbat bhi unki nahi. Par aisi bhi kya tanhai, kaise nahi tadpati aapko meri tanhai?
