थी घनघोर काली और सर्द रात,
चारों और घोर सन्नाटा था,
थी आँखों की चुभन या अन्धकार,
कुछ भी तो नज़र ना आता था,
जिस की सुबह ना आई कभी,
क्या बोलूं ऐसी रात पे मैं!
और क्या बोलूं इस बात पे मैं?
हर तरफ मौत का मंज़र था,
ये शहर लाशों का समंदर था,
जाने वो कैसा दानव था,
जो इतना विकराल भयंकर था,
आंसू आंसू को रोकते थे,
क्या बोलूं ऐसे हालात पे मैं!
और क्या बोलूं इस बात पे मैं?
भय ही था जिसे कहा सबने,
भय ही था जिसे सुना होगा,
भय को सबने महसूस किय़ा,
भय का हर स्वाद चखा होगा,
भय को जिसने भय से देखा ,
क्या बोलूं ऐसे जज़्बात पे मैं!
और क्या बोलूं उस बात पे मैं?
Nice lines……Truly touching……
