kisi se pooch lenge

"raasta bhatak gayen hain shayad"
"chalo kisi se pooch lein"
aur dekhne lage aas paas
poocha janein kitno se
par na maaloom tha
sach me kisiko na maalom tha

koi achaanak se bola
"chaliye main bhi us oor ja raha hu"
umeed liye
chal diye hum aage

raaste lamba dikh raaha tha
chalte rahe hum ek disha me
ek sadak jud jaati doosre se
chalte rahe hum ek disha me
aur ab shaq hone laga ki shayad
kahin bhatak gaye hain

kar himmat pooch liya
"aapko maaloom to hai na"
"main to aaya nahi kabhi yahan
ek musafir ne mujhe bataya tha"

ab jirah se kya fayda
raat bhi ghani ho chali thi
yahi soch humne kar liya padav

aur jab subah hogi
"to fir kisi se pooch lenge"
