namakaharaam – a poem by Kumar Ambuj

jis thaalee mein khaata hai usee ko maarata hai thokar
jis ghar mein rahata hai usee mein lagaata hai sendh

tum yaad karo,
tumane usakee thaalee mein varshon tak kitana kam khaana diya
yaad karo, tumane use ghar mein utanee jagah bhee nahin dee
jitanee tilachatte, choohe, chhipakaliyaan ya kutte gher lete hain.
