andhere band kamron mein paDe the

añdhere band kamroñ meñ paḌe the

ujāle sair par nikle hue the

gharoñ meñ khāñstī tanhā.iyāñ thiiñ

ye sannāTe purānī nasl ke the

havas kī bastiyāñ ātish-zada thiiñ

baḌe kaḌve-kisīle vāqiye the

sadā.eñ jhīñguroñ kī baḌh rahī thiiñ

añdhere sīḌhiyāñ chaḌhne lage the

suhāgan the mirī bastī ke mausam

khanaktī chūḌiyāñ pahne hue the

dhuāñ paanī bagūle dhuup tūfāñ

ye ajzā to hamāre jism ke the

añdherī raat ke saada varaq par

ḳharābe dāstāñ likhne lage the

bhaTakne ke liye jab 'riñd' nikle

kahāñ jaanā hai raste pūchhte the

andhere band kamron mein paDe the

ujale sair par nikle hue the

gharon mein khansti tanhaiyan thin

ye sannaTe purani nasl ke the

hawas ki bastiyan aatish-zada thin

baDe kaDwe-kisile waqiye the

sadaen jhinguron ki baDh rahi thin

andhere siDhiyan chaDhne lage the

suhagan the meri basti ke mausam

khanakti chuDiyan pahne hue the

dhuan pani bagule dhup tufan

ye ajza to hamare jism ke the

andheri raat ke sada waraq par

KHarabe dastan likhne lage the

bhaTakne ke liye jab 'rind' nikle

kahan jaana hai raste puchhte the
