baaki sab kuchh bemani hai

har roj ek kavita likhney ka wayada kiya tha,
ab nibhatey nibhatey aadat si ho gayi hai, saath
wo chalti hi kaha hai
koi rubai
koi gazal
ya phir koi muktak
sabhi to apni apni dishaon mein ugatey hai
kisko samjhaun
ek hi bagiya mein khilney ke liyey
koi nahin manta
mainey kab kisee ki baat mani hai
hamesha kaha, dard hi sach hai,
baaki sab kuchh bemani hai
