Khaali bore mein zaKHmi billa
jān-mohamād-ḳhān
safar āsān nahīñ
dhaan ke is ḳhālī bore meñ
jaan ulajhtī hai
paT-san kī mazbūt salāḳheñ dil meñ gaḌī haiñ
aur āñkhoñ ke zard kaToroñ meñ
chāñd ke sikke chhan-chhan girte haiñ
aur badan meñ raat phailtī jaatī hai...
aaj tumhārī nañgī piiTh par
aag jalā.e kaun
añgāre dahkā.e kaun
jidd-o-johd ke
ḳhūnīñ phuul khilā.e kaun
mere shola-gar panjoñ meñ jaan nahīñ
aaj safar āsān nahīñ
thoḌī der meñ ye pagDanDī
TuuT ke ik gande tālāb meñ gir jā.egī
maiñ apne tābūt kī tanhā.ī se lipaT kar
so jā.ūñgā
paanī paanī ho jā.ūñgā
aur tumheñ aage jānā...
ik... gahrī niind meñ chalte jaanā hai
aur tumheñ is nazar na aane vaale bore...
...apne ḳhālī bore kī pahchān nahīñ
jān-mohamād-ḳhān
safar āsān nahīñ
An Injured Tomcat in an Empty Sack
jaan-mohamad-KHan
safar aasan nahin
dhan ke is KHali bore mein
jaan ulajhti hai
paT-san ki mazbut salaKHen dil mein gaDi hain
aur aankhon ke zard kaToron mein
chand ke sikke chhan-chhan girte hain
aur badan mein raat phailti jati hai
aaj tumhaari nangi piTh par
aag jalae kaun
angare dahkae kaun
jidd-o-johd ke
KHunin phul khilae kaun
mere shola-gar panjon mein jaan nahin
aaj safar aasan nahin
thoDi der mein ye pagDanDi
TuT ke ek gande talab mein gir jaegi
main apne tabut ki tanhai se lipaT kar
so jaunga
pani pani ho jaunga
aur tumhein aage jaana
ek gahri nind mein chalte jaana hai
aur tumhein is nazar na aane wale bore
apne KHali bore ki pahchan nahin
jaan-mohamad-KHan
safar aasan nahin
