Ek mastmaula parinda udta hua dekha. Apni hi dhun me mast tha wo. Azaad lag raha tha aur khush bhi. Tabhi achaanak uske pankh lohe ke taaron se lad gaye. Us jagah se khoon behne laga. Tab use aur mujhe, dono ko ehsaas hua ke wo azaad hoke bhi azaad nahi tha , kyuki pinjra bada tha. Use udne to diya par nateeja kya nikla? Sirf khoon, dard, aur maalik ke liye nafrat, jo shaayad jaayaz thi
