दस्तक

वोह गलियाँ जाने पहचाने से थे,
और वोह दर्द जानी पहचानी सी,
दस्तक देता रहा फिर भी,
हाँ वोह खामोशी भी पहचानी सी थी...

चल दिए मुडकर हमेशा की तरह,

दस्तक दो, चार, दस. बस.

पहरा गुरूर का कुछ इस तरह

कि चाहत और ईबादत का फासला बना रहा

(Typos maaf karein. Chandra bindu mila naheen.)

Alas! This was meant to be encouraging! I like this pithy style better than the more elaborate lyrical compositions you seem to favour, even in your stories. :-). (Nothing wrong with that. I'm simply expressing a personal preference.)

You seem well acquainted with the concept of dard in its many flavours. So for instance, I'd be interested to see you try your hand at Abhimanyu & his Angst in 8 lines or less.

Please do continue writing. I'll remember to express my appreciation in more recognizable ways!

@Monika, actually I do prefer short over long. It's tough though, still learning the art:)
