जो दरवाजे के पास,
गोल गोल चक्कर लगाता था,
शून्य के इर्द-गिर्द!
गिर जाता था,
फिर होश संभाल कर,
घूमने लगता था,
उसे जाना नही था कहीं,
बस यूँ ही काट देनी थी,
अपनी बची खुची ज़िन्दगी।
आज किसी भीड़ मे जब ,
एक ख्वाब से,
हाथ छुड़ा कर घर आया,
तो बड़ी देर तक जेहन में,
वो कुत्ता,
वो कुत्ता,
गोल गोल घूमता रहा ।
शायद वो समझता है इंसान से ज्यादा की जिंदगी और कुछ भी नहीं है ...
