bachapan se hee us par jaise mera junoon tha, kabhee-kabhee mazaaq mein kahatee thee main ki agar main byaah kar dooje gaanv chalee gaee to… hans padata, kahata ye gamakatee dhoop to bas meree hai!
us din gaanv mein abeeragulaal baras raha tha, bahut udaas tha, bahut!
saare thikaanon par mujhe talaashata hua mere peechhe bageechee tak aaya, main sharaarat se phat jhoole par chadh gaee, isee beech paayal gir padee, dheere se use utha kar dekhata raha, phir patthar par rakh ke haath ke tesu us par rakh bola- “agale maah byaah hai hamara…”
sunaee dena band ho gaya, tadak kar jhoole kee rapat toot gaee!
kuchh din baad suna usane kuchh kha liya… kitana jhooth!
jo hamare bagair ber tak kabhee na kha saka, vo kaise…
ek paayal ne phir sada ke lie bajane se inkaar kar diya!
udaas rang
