सूखे आँसू
ख़त्म हुई बातें प्यारा भी न रहा ये सन्नाटा खूबसूरत थी वो तड़प अब है खरोचती ये बेक़रारी दे दी खुशियाँ हो गये शुरू ये ग़म बह गये सारे रह गयीं ख़ाली ये आँखें कौन सम्भाले सिवाय मेरे अब ये उदासी?

“So, heard about the water shortage this year?” She asked like any stand-up comedian would start a joke. “Yyyepp! 30% short. I don’t get these farmers though. If they’ve no rain, let them have water tankers.” She grinned at a booing crowd. “Come on! Wouldn’t Marie Antoinette say that?” Her humor had but one fan. […]
