    shāyad merī zamīn

    apne safar ke āḳhirī paḌāv se aage nikal chukī hai

    manzil par jalte hue falak-bos alaav hiddat kuchh itnī tez hai

    ki daraḳhtoñ ke jaḌoñ se le kar

    shāḳhoñ ke saroñ par aane vaalā baur tak

    pasīne aur garmī se haañp rahā hai

    vaqt kaThalī meñ ubalte hue hālāt ke saath

    ab ke kisī aql-mand ne havā ke haath par rakkhe hue

    tamām mausam bhī uThā kar Daal diye haiñ

    mujhe yaad hai ki shu.ūr pahlī sīḌhiyoñ par paañv rakhte

    kis asbiyyatī lamhe ne

    mere kānoñ meñ sargoshī thī

    ki tum apne baap paidā.ish se bhī bahut pahle girvī rakh diye ga.e the

    maiñ us din se le kar aaj tak bahī-khātoñ ke

    qarz vaale ḳhāne se nahīñ nikal sakā

    aur mere hāthoñ meñ itnī be-iḳhtiyārī bhar ga.ī hai

    ki mere ghar ke darvāze chābiyāñ har roz phisaltī huī

    merī uñglī āḳhirī por par aa jaatī haiñ

    aur maiñ dahshatnāk āñkhoñ se ḳhalā meñ dekhne lagtā huuñ

    ki jaise duur ġhulāmī ke siyāh manzar

    aadhe se zyāda darsī kitāboñ se bāhar nikal aa.e haiñ

    ḳhauf ke lambe nāḳhunoñ ne ḳhāk-zādoñ ke badan miTTī aise khurach hai

    jaise makānoñ dīvāroñ kachchā rañg

    tez bārishoñ meñ utar kar nāliyoñ meñ bah jaatā hai

    gharoñ mohalloñ aur saḌkoñ par nādīda dīvāreñ itnī ūñchī uThā ga.ī haiñ

    ki ham ikaTThe rahte hue ek saath chalte hue bhī

    ek dūsre ko dekh nahīñ sakte

    aur kyā kahūñ ki is saal dekhne sunñe aur bolne par bhī namkīñ lagā diyā gayā

    jaise ham sab apne apne badan meñ tanhā kar ke maar diye jā.eñge

    vo ahd zyāda duur nahīñ

    jab hameñ koī nasl mohanjodḌo aur haḌappā tarah daryāft karegī

    soch rahā huuñ ki hameñ kitne fiT gahrā khod kar nikālā jā.egā

    aur phir museum meñ rakhī huī shīshe almāriyoñ meñ

    purānī haDDiyoñ ke nīche ye tahrīr jab koī sayyāh rakh kar paḌhegā

    ki ye is daur insān thā jab taraqqī apne nuqta uruuj se bhī aage thī

    magar ta.alīm-yāfta is ma.āshre ke log ġhāroñ meñ rahne vāloñ se zyāda tahzīb-yāfta the

    ye ek shā.er thā

    jo ehsās qabr meñ

    apnī maut se pahle dafn kar diyā gayā

    shayad meri zamin

    apne safar ke aaKHiri paDaw se aage nikal chuki hai

    manzil par jalte hue falak-bos alaw ki hiddat kuchh itni tez hai

    ki daraKHton ke jaDon se le kar

    shaKHon ke saron par aane wala baur tak

    pasine aur garmi se hanp raha hai

    waqt ki kaThali mein ubalte hue haalat ke sath

    ab ke kisi aql-mand ne hawa ke hath par rakkhe hue

    tamam mausam bhi uTha kar Dal diye hain

    mujhe yaad hai ki shuur ki pahli siDhiyon par panw rakhte hi

    kis asbiyyati lamhe ne

    mere kanon mein sargoshi ki thi

    ki tum apne bap ki paidaish se bhi bahut pahle girwi rakh diye gae the

    main us din se le kar aaj tak bahi-khaton ke

    qarz wale KHane se nahin nikal saka

    aur mere hathon mein itni be-iKHtiyari bhar di gai hai

    ki mere ghar ke darwaze ki chabiyan har roz phisalti hui

    meri ungli ki aaKHiri por par aa jati hain

    aur main dahshatnak aankhon se KHala mein dekhne lagta hun

    ki jaise dur ghulami ke siyah manzar

    aadhe se zyaada darsi kitabon se bahar nikal aae hain

    KHauf ke lambe naKHunon ne KHak-zadon ke badan ki miTTi aise khurach di hai

    jaise makanon ki diwaron ka kachcha rang

    tez barishon mein utar kar naliyon mein bah jata hai

    gharon mohallon aur saDkon par nadida diwaren itni unchi uTha di gai hain

    ki hum ikaTThe rahte hue ek sath chalte hue bhi

    ek dusre ko dekh nahin sakte

    aur kya kahun ki is sal dekhne sunne aur bolne par bhi namkin laga diya gaya

    jaise hum sab apne apne badan mein tanha kar ke mar diye jaenge

    wo ahd zyaada dur nahin

    jab hamein koi nasl mohanjodDo aur haDappa ki tarah daryaft karegi

    soch raha hun ki hamein kitne fiT gahra khod kar nikala jaega

    aur phir museum mein rakhi hui shishe ki almariyon mein

    purani haDDiyon ke niche ye tahrir jab koi sayyah rakh kar paDhega

    ki ye is daur ka insan tha jab taraqqi apne nuqta uruj se bhi aage thi

    magar talim-yafta is maashre ke log ghaaron mein rahne walon se zyaada tahzib-yafta the

    ye ek shaer tha

    jo ehsas ki qabr mein

    apni maut se pahle dafn kar diya gaya
