....phoolo'n ka kya hoga.....parveen shakir

suna hai
titliyo'n par koi hadd jaari hoti hai
agar gulqand khud hi shahad ki sab makhiyo'n ke ghar pahunch jaye
tau un ko gul-ba-gul awaara gardi ki haajat kya
hawa ki chaal bhi kuch na-munasib hoti jaati thii
so titli aur makkhi aur hawa
na mehramo'n se door rakhi jaa rahi hai'n
magar yeh bhi koi sochey
ke phir phoolo'n ka kya ho ga
chaman mein aise kitne phool ho'n ge
ke jo khud-vasl aur khd baa aavar ho'n !
