    tumhāre dukh ne

    mere andar ek shahr-e-mātam daryāft kiyā

    jahāñ har roz mere janm par jashn-e-girya manāyā jaatā hai

    tum apnī hañsī tohfa

    kaalī īñToñ se banā.e ga.e us taaq

    meñ rakh do

    jahāñ charāġh ḳhāmoshī

    aur raat siskiyāñ sāñpoñ tarah

    sarsarātī haiñ

    hāñ!! sāñpoñ se yaad aayā

    aaj sāñpoñ se visāl raat hai

    aañsū ḳhushk haiñ ġhusl kaise karūñ?

    mere zaḳhmoñ se girne vaale kiiḌe

    mere saa.e se baḌe ho rahe haiñ

    mujhe apnī nigahbānī mat kaho

    maiñ to ḳhud apnī hifāzat meñ chorī ho jaatā huuñ

    shiryānoñ ke sad-rāhe par lahū rāsta

    bhuul gayā hai

    shahr mujhe merī aañkh se nahīñ dekhtā

    ā.īna mujh par nigāh paḌte be-aks ho jaatā hai

    dekho....

    raat ke kashkol meñ

    ek nigāh bhiik bhī nahīñ

    puure chāñd ko tanhā.ī ne toḌ Daalā

    ab us kirchiyāñ merī ashtray

    meñ paḌī haiñ

    kaho ki kyā kahūñ?

    āvāzoñ ke nīlām-ghar meñ mujhe to

    chup lag jaatī hai!

    tumhaare dukh ne

    mere andar ek shahr-e-matam daryaft kiya

    jahan har roz mere janm par jashn-e-girya manaya jata hai

    tum apni hansi ka tohfa

    kali inTon se banae gae us taq

    mein rakh do

    jahan charagh ki KHamoshi

    aur raat ki siskiyan sanpon ki tarah

    sarsaraati hain

    han!! sanpon se yaad aaya

    aaj sanpon se visal ki raat hai

    aansu KHushk hain ghusl kaise karun?

    mere zaKHmon se girne wale kiDe

    mere sae se baDe ho rahe hain

    mujhe apni nigahbani ka mat kaho

    main to KHud apni hifazat mein chori ho jata hun

    shiryanon ke sad-rahe par lahu rasta

    bhul gaya hai

    shahr mujhe meri aankh se nahin dekhta

    aaina mujh par nigah paDte hi be-aks ho jata hai

    dekho

    raat ke kashkol mein

    ek nigah ki bhik bhi nahin

    pure chand ko tanhai ne toD Dala

    ab us ki kirchiyan meri ashtray

    mein paDi hain

    kaho ki kya kahun?

    aawazon ke nilam-ghar mein mujhe to

    chup lag jati hai!
