    maiñ to paidā.ish se ik shahzādī thī

    husn mire paikar meñ yuuñ dar aayā thā

    siñghār ke ā.īne meñ jab maiñ jhāñktī to

    ḳhud par shaidā hone lagtī

    ḳhvāhish mere dil meñ paidā hone lagtī

    ki merī puujā log kareñ

    sar ke mire qadmoñ par dhareñ

    lekin jab maiñ ne añgḌā.ī se husn pe apne naaz kiyā

    mahsūs kiyā ki duniyā ko nārāz kiyā

    thūkā nafrat se logoñ ne

    aur mujh ko nā-hanjār kahā

    badkār kahā

    ik roz unhoñ ne bāloñ se mere afshāñ

    merī nochī, noche kānoñ se āveze

    bāñhoñ se chūḌī aur kaḌe

    yuuñ hāthoñ kānoñ se mujh ko nañgī kar ke

    ik zindāñ meñ Daal diyā

    qumchī ke nishānoñ se merā shaffāf badan

    niilā thā magar

    maiñ ne na jhukāyā apnā sar

    ki maiñ to paidā.ish se thī ik sultāna

    jab thaam ke maiñ dīvār uThī

    to tab bhī merī chaal meñ thā

    pahlā vaqār-e-shāhāna

    be-dāġh ik ā.īne ke gahre bātin meñ

    apne raushan māthe pe likhe

    asrār jo paḌhnā chāhtī maiñ

    Dar jaatī maiñ

    ye pūchhtī ḳhud se ''kaun hai tū?''

    āmāq se merī ruuh ke ik āvāz ubhar kar ye kahtī

    hai'' terī duniyā duur kahīñ''

    us lamhe ke phailāv meñ maiñ Dar ke samā.ī rahtī thī

    āñkhoñ se mirī ashkoñ dhārā bahtī thī

    thā mujh ko yaqīñ ik roz mirā shohra sun kar

    chaar ā.īna bāñdhe aa.egā

    merā pujārī shahzāda

    aur qaid se merī mujh ko chhuḌā le jā.egā

    sūraj rath-gāḌī mere sar par se roz guzartī thī

    āñgan meñ utarte saa.e ko maiñ ḳhauf se dekhā kartī thī

    jab vo na mujhe lene aayā

    to ik din maiñ ne maut se minnat ki aa

    ai merī mohram! mujh meñ samā

    vo merā kahnā maan ke mujh meñ yuuñ mastāna dar aa.ī

    ki mere ḳhuun meñ chhan chhan ghuñghrū baj uTThe

    maiñ jhuum uThī

    aur chāñd ke daf par āñgan meñ shab bhar nāchī-

    us sub.h unhoñ ne mere badan ko chaukhaT par murda paayā

    main to paidaish hi se ek shahzadi thi

    husn mere paikar mein yun dar aaya tha

    singhaar ke aaine mein jab main jhankti to

    KHud par shaida hone lagti

    KHwahish mere dil mein paida hone lagti

    ki meri puja log karen

    sar la ke mere qadmon par dharen

    lekin jab main ne angDai se husn pe apne naz kiya

    mahsus kiya ki duniya ko naraaz kiya

    thuka nafrat se logon ne

    aur mujh ko na-hanjar kaha

    badkar kaha

    ek roz unhon ne baalon se mere afshan

    meri nochi, noche kanon se aaweze

    banhon se chuDi aur kaDe

    yun hathon kanon se mujh ko nangi kar ke

    ek zindan mein Dal diya

    qumchi ke nishanon se mera shaffaf badan

    nila tha magar

    main ne na jhukaya apna sar

    ki main to paidaish hi se thi ek sultana

    jab tham ke main diwar uThi

    to tab bhi meri chaal mein tha

    pahla sa waqar-e-shahana

    be-dagh ek aaine ke gahre baatin mein

    apne raushan mathe pe likhe

    asrar jo paDhna chahti main

    Dar jati main

    ye puchhti KHud se kaun hai tu?

    aamaq se meri ruh ke ek aawaz ubhar kar ye kahti

    hai teri duniya dur kahin

    us lamhe ke phailaw mein main Dar ke samai rahti thi

    aankhon se meri ashkon ki dhaara bahti thi

    tha mujh ko yaqin ek roz mera shohra sun kar

    chaar aaina bandhe aaega

    mera pujari shahzada

    aur qaid se meri mujh ko chhuDa le jaega

    suraj ki rath-gaDi mere sar par se roz guzarti thi

    aangan mein utarte sae ko main KHauf se dekha karti thi

    jab wo na mujhe lene aaya

    to ek din main ne maut se minnat ki ki aa

    ai meri mohram! mujh mein sama

    wo mera kahna man ke mujh mein yun mastana dar aai

    ki mere KHun mein chhan chhan ghunghru baj uTThe

    main jhum uThi

    aur chand ke daf par aangan mein shab bhar nachi-

    us subh unhon ne mere badan ko chaukhaT par murda paya
