मैंने
बुनना सीना सीख लिया
तुम्हारी कविता से कर्ण लगा के
फिर जो
अपना कम्बल देखा -
एक फटे कोने से बरबस
मेरा ठंडा मन झांक रहा था
तो फिर सीना शुरू किया
एक और कच्चे  धागे
से सुई पिरो
मन ठिठुरन को ठीक किया
सीवान का उधड़न
जब गया संभल
सोचा गुरू को सप्रीत बता दूँ
गुलज़ार -
मैं ने तो
सीना बुनना सीख लिया।

Refer Gulzar's poetry: yaar julahe...

lovely...so beautiful. Thanks for sharing ur Tarkeeb. It's really so lyrical and so well said.
Don't know why but i ALSO seem to be thinking of Zehra Nigah along with that vision in white and his MUJHKO BHI TARKEEB SIKHA DO YAAR JULAHE...

Mulayam garm samjhaute ki chadar
Yeh chadar mein ne barson mein buni hai
Kahin bhi sach ke gul boote nahi hai
Kissi bhi jhooth ka taanka nahin hai
Issi se main bhi tan dhak loongi apna
Issi se tum bhi aasooda rahoge
Na khush hoge, na pashmarda hoge

(Warm and soft, this blanket
Of compromise has taken me years to weave
Not a single flower of truth embellishes it
Not a single false stitch betrays it
It will do to cover my body though
And it will bring comfort too,
If not joy, nor sadness to you)

Love me do, Love me True said...
