    ik din apne kamre meñ maiñ

    baiThā baiThā soch rahā thā

    jitnī haiñ be-kār chīzeñ

    sab ko aaj maiñ yakjā kar luuñ

    aur kabāḌī ko de aa.uuñ

    ghar meñ ik kamra hai jahāñ par

    bahut chīzeñ paḌīñ huī haiñ

    jis meñ

    mere kaam kuchh bhī nahīñ hai

    ik lāThī hai ik baTva hai

    katthe chūne Dibiyā hai

    kahīñ sarautā paḌā huā hai

    Tañgī hai kone meñ ik chhatrī kaalī kaalī

    jis ko chūhoñ ne qatra hai jagah jagah se

    ik lakḌī kursī bhī hai

    būḌhī aur lañgḌī-lūlī

    is kamre ke ik kone meñ

    ik chaupā.ī paḌī huī hai

    apnī qismat ko rotī hai

    bilkul us ke baazū meñ

    būḌhā ik taḳht rakhā hai

    kiiḌe jis ko chaaT raheñ haiñ

    taḳht ke aage bilkul aage

    chīte ik khaal paḌī hai

    bhūñsā bhar ke rakhā huā thā jis ke andar

    ab to vo chūhoñ ek mohalla hai

    kuchh hirno ke sar bhī haiñ dīvār pe laTke ab tak

    jin ke uupar ab chiḌiyoñ ne apne apne tāj-mahal ta.amīr kiye hai

    kuchh talvāreñ ḳhuuñ pyāsī pyaas bujhāne taḌap rahīñ haiñ

    ik tote piñjra bhī hai

    ek surāhī rakkhī huī hai

    ik bīmār huqqa bhī hai

    khāñstā rahtā hai jo ab

    shāyad cancer ne us ko bhī jakḌā hai

    ik lakḌī almārī bhī kone meñ ḳhāmosh khaḌī hai

    jis meñ kuchh bosīda kapḌe rakkhe hue haiñ

    ik sandūq hai jis ke andar kuchh zevar haiñ

    jinkī qīmat ab bāzār meñ kuchh bhī nahīñ

    kuchh german aur kāñse pītal ke bartan bhī rakkhe haiñ

    ek tijorī bhī rakkhī hai

    jis ko dekh ke ab tak saarī chīzeñ jaltī haiñ

    ik nā-bīnā chashma bhī hai

    ik pagḌī bhī rakkhī huī hai

    kuchh juute chappal bhī haiñ jo

    auñdhe chitte leTe haiñ

    TūTe-phūTe se ik do haath ke pañkhe bhī haiñ

    aur ik taaq meñ chand kitābeñ

    bhūkī pyāsī chīkh rahīñ haiñ

    ik kone meñ kuchh tasvīreñ paḌī huī haiñ

    mere purkhoñ tasvīreñ

    jin ke uupar dhul jamī hai

    purkhoñ ye shān-o-shaukat

    ik kamre meñ band paḌī hai

    ek din apne kamre mein main

    baiTha baiTha soch raha tha

    jitni hain be-kar ki chizen

    sab ko aaj main yakja kar lun

    aur kabaDi ko de aaun

    ghar mein ek kamra hai jahan par

    bahut si chizen paDin hui hain

    jis mein

    mere kaam ka kuchh bhi nahin hai

    ek laThi hai ek baTwa hai

    katthe chune ki Dibiya hai

    kahin sarauta paDa hua hai

    Tangi hai kone mein ek chhatri kali kali

    jis ko chuhon ne qatra hai jagah jagah se

    ek lakDi ki kursi bhi hai

    buDhi si aur langDi-luli

    is kamre ke ek kone mein

    ek chaupai paDi hui hai

    apni qismat ko roti hai

    bilkul us ke bazu mein hi

    buDha sa ek taKHt rakha hai

    kiDe jis ko chaT rahen hain

    taKHt ke aage bilkul aage

    chite ki ek khaal paDi hai

    bhunsa bhar ke rakha hua tha jis ke andar

    ab to wo chuhon ka ek mohalla hai

    kuchh hirno ke sar bhi hain diwar pe laTke ab tak

    jin ke upar ab chiDiyon ne apne apne taj-mahal tamir kiye hai

    kuchh talwaren KHun ki pyasi pyas bujhane taDap rahin hain

    ek tote ka pinjra bhi hai

    ek surahi rakkhi hui hai

    ek bimar sa huqqa bhi hai

    khansta rahta hai jo ab

    shayad cancer ne us ko bhi jakDa hai

    ek lakDi ki almari bhi kone mein KHamosh khaDi hai

    jis mein kuchh bosida kapDe rakkhe hue hain

    ek sanduq hai jis ke andar kuchh zewar hain

    jinki qimat ab bazar mein kuchh bhi nahin

    kuchh german aur kanse pital ke bartan bhi rakkhe hain

    ek tijori bhi rakkhi hai

    jis ko dekh ke ab tak sari chizen jalti hain

    ek na-bina chashma bhi hai

    ek pagDi bhi rakkhi hui hai

    kuchh jute chappal bhi hain jo

    aundhe chitte leTe hain

    TuTe-phuTe se ek do hath ke pankhe bhi hain

    aur ek taq mein chand kitaben

    bhuki pyasi chikh rahin hain

    ek kone mein kuchh taswiren paDi hui hain

    mere purkhon ki taswiren

    jin ke upar dhul jami hai

    purkhon ki ye shan-o-shaukat

    ek kamre mein band paDi hai
