ہوٹل میں ایک شام
جونہی نرم ہوا ہوٹل کے پردوں سے ٹکرائی
ایک لذت بھری صدا نے میرے کانوں کی لوئوں کو چوما
’’دال، بھنڈی، ٹنڈے، آلو قیمہ، چکن کڑاہی‘‘
’’جی صاحب۔۔۔۔!‘‘
’’کیا کھائیں گے آپ‘‘
میں نے دال کا کہا اور باہر دیکھنے لگا
تندور پہ ہنگامہ آرائی کا منظر
جیسے کسی محاذ پر شورِ قیامت
نان بائی لبوں پہ مسکراہٹ سجائے
