My Hands Clasped Under A Veil Poem by Ravi Kopra

main haath joDay, ghoonghat pehnay, dheemi roshni main udas baithi thee
"tu aaj kyon murjhaaee si lagti hai
kyon itni preshaan si lagti hai"
Kyon k aaj main ne us ko baDa gussa kar diya hai
aur ab pachtaey main baithi hoon

kabhi bhool na paaoNgi, ghabraya hua vo bahar nikla
us ka chehra dukh se bhra hua tha
bina railing pakDay main us ka peecHay
gali tak bhaagti chali gayi
dum ghut raha tha mera, rotay hue main ne kaha:
Main to sirf mazaak hi kar rahi thee
is k siva kuch na keh rahi thee
mar jaaoNgi main tere bina.
araam se muskratay vo bola:
baDi hawaa chal rahi hai yahaaN
jaa, jaa wapis ghar chali jaa.
