Traffic Signal

Hum jaa rahe the,
woh aa rahe the,
woh to rasta dekh rahe the,
par hum unhe dekh rahe the,
itne main ek mod aa gaya,
unhone to sahi mod lie,
par humne har baar galtian ki,
woh to unke gher pahunch gaye,
aur kuch galtion ne humein bhi unke gahr pahucha dia,
aj kal hamara unki galion se aana jaan hai,
woh aj bhi sahi raste se apne ghar ko jaate hain,
aur hum bhi galat raste se unke ghar hi jaate….

hum soch main hi doobe hue the ke,
peeche se ek bhai saab ne horn daba dia,
daba kya dia dabate hi rahe,
kehne lage ki bike chalate hue,
kisi ko pehli baar khayalon main dekha,
aati jaati gaadion ke shor ne,
un bhai saab ke shor ne,
mujhe sundar sapne se jagaya,
mujhe bahut krodh aaya,
samne bhi koi nazr nahi aaya,
tabhi humein agle signal ka khayal aaya,
aur humne fir pehla gear lagaya…
