आज सुबह के अख़बार में / केदारनाथ सिंहआज सुबह के अख़बार में

एक छोटी-सी ख़बर थी
कि पिछली रात शहर में
आया था बाघ !
किसी ने उसे देखा नहीं
अँधेरे में सुनी नहीं किसी ने
उसके चलने की आवाज़
गिरी नहीं थी किसी भी सड़क पर
ख़ून की छोटी-सी एक बूँद भी
पर सबको विश्वास है
कि सुबह के अखबार मनें छपी हुई खबर
गलत नहीं हो सकती
कि ज़रूर-ज़रूर पिछली रात
शहर में आया था बाघ

(In the morning papers
There was a small piece of news
That last night
A tiger had come into the city
Nobody saw it In the darkness, nobody
Heard its footsteps
Nor on any street
A small drop of blood fell
But everyone believes
That the news in the morning papers
Cannot be false
That certainly last night
A tiger had come into the city.)
