ajab dasht-e-hawas ka silsila hai
ajab dasht-e-havas kā silsila hai
badan āvāz ban kar gūñjtā hai
ki vo dīvār ūñchī ho ga.ī hai
ki merā qad hī chhoTā ho gayā hai
gale tak bhar gayā andhā kuaañ bhī
mirī āvāz par kam boltā hai
maiñ apnī jāma-poshī par pashīmāñ
vo apnī be-libāsī par fidā hai
badan par chyūñTiyāñ sī reñgtī haiñ
ye kaisā khurdurā bistar bichhā hai
vo āñkheñ ho ga.iiñ taqsīm do par
javāb ab aur mushkil ho gayā hai
vo bahte pāniyoñ par naqsh hogā
jo bhīgī ret par likkhā huā hai
paḌhā thā jo kitāb-e-zindagī se
vahī lauh-e-badan par likh diyā hai
ajab dasht-e-hawas ka silsila hai
badan aawaz ban kar gunjta hai
ki wo diwar unchi ho gai hai
ki mera qad hi chhoTa ho gaya hai
gale tak bhar gaya andha kuan bhi
meri aawaz par kam bolta hai
main apni jama-poshi par pashiman
wo apni be-libasi par fida hai
badan par chyunTiyan si rengti hain
ye kaisa khurdura bistar bichha hai
wo aankhen ho gain taqsim do par
jawab ab aur mushkil ho gaya hai
wo bahte paniyon par naqsh hoga
jo bhigi ret par likkha hua hai
paDha tha jo kitab-e-zindagi se
wahi lauh-e-badan par likh diya hai
