    maiñ jab is shahr meñ aatā huuñ saḌkoñ se guzartā huuñ

    to ik chhoTī laḌkī yaad aatī hai

    darīda pairahan TuuTā huā kashkol hāthoñ meñ

    aur us kashkol meñ sikke

    magar maiñ us sūrat dekh kar hairān hotā thā

    ajab puḳhtagī thī darj un ma.asūm āñkhoñ meñ

    ki jaise zindagī bhar tajraboñ bhiik māñgī ho

    yahāñ is shahr saḌkoñ pe yūñhī saiñkaḌoñ bachche

    liye kashkol hāthoñ meñ

    savālī rāh-gīroñ se

    kise fursat ki in chīzoñ tahrīreñ paḌhe samjhe

    magar chhoTī vo laḌkī baḌī mānūs thī mujh se

    vo mujh ko dekhtī to bhaag kar nazdīk aatī thī

    zarā muskurātī thī

    ki jaise koī rishta ho ki jaise koī apnā ho

    maiñ us kashkol meñ do-chār sikke Daal detā thā

    yuuñ bas be-irāda ek din maiñ us ke ghar pahuñchā

    bas ik TuuTā huā bosīda kamra thā

    aur ik TuuTā palañg jis par

    koī ma.azūr aurat thī

    jo shāyad us maañ hogī

    baras guzre

    aur us chhoTī laḌkī ne

    javānī ke zarā nazdīk jab pahlā qadam rakhā

    to us ke jism ko shāyad koī kashkol samjhā

    kalī khilne na paa.ī thī ki ḳhushbū luuT us

    ki vo to be-sahārā thī

    use vo de gayā koī jo māñgā na thā us ne

    ab us god meñ nannhī ik ma.asūm bachchī thī

    bahut din baa'd phir aanā huā us shahr meñ merā

    tajassus mujh ko le aayā usī bosīda kamre tak

    vahāñ kuchh bhī na badlā thā

    vahī bosīda kamra thā vahī TuuTā palañg bhī thā

    palañg par thī vahī laḌkī

    magar ab vo bas ik ma.azūr aurat thī

    usī lamhe darīda pairahan chhoTī ik laḌkī

    liye TuuTā huā kashkol hāthoñ meñ vahāñ aa.ī

    mujhe aisā lagā jaise kahānī bhī purānī thī

    vahī kashkol aur sikke vahī chhoTī ik laḌkī

    aur us ke saath bhī honā vahī thā

    jo ab tak hotā aayā thā

    use bhī ek din ma.azūr honā thā

    kabhī jab shahr saḌkoñ pe chhoTī koī laḌkī

    darīda pairahan kashkol hāthoñ meñ sañbhāle

    savālī ban ke mere paas aatī hai

    to maiñ kashkol meñ do-chār sikke Daal detā huuñ

    ki ik ma.azūr aurat mujh ko fauran yaad aatī hai

    main jab is shahr mein aata hun saDkon se guzarta hun

    to ek chhoTi si laDki yaad aati hai

    darida pairahan TuTa hua kashkol hathon mein

    aur us kashkol mein sikke

    magar main us ki surat dekh kar hairan hota tha

    ajab si puKHtagi thi darj un masum aankhon mein

    ki jaise zindagi bhar tajrabon ki bhik mangi ho

    yahan is shahr ki saDkon pe yunhi sainkaDon bachche

    liye kashkol hathon mein

    sawali rah-giron se

    kise fursat ki in chizon ki tahriren paDhe samjhe

    magar chhoTi si wo laDki baDi manus thi mujh se

    wo mujh ko dekhti to bhag kar nazdik aati thi

    zara sa muskuraati thi

    ki jaise koi rishta ho ki jaise koi apna ho

    main us kashkol mein do-chaar sikke Dal deta tha

    yun hi bas be-irada ek din main us ke ghar pahuncha

    bas ek TuTa hua bosida kamra tha

    aur ek TuTa palang jis par

    koi mazur aurat thi

    jo shayad us ki man hogi

    baras guzre

    aur us chhoTi si laDki ne

    jawani ke zara nazdik jab pahla qadam rakha

    to us ke jism ko shayad koi kashkol hi samjha

    kali khilne na pai thi ki KHushbu luT li us ki

    ki wo to be-sahaara thi

    use wo de gaya koi jo manga hi na tha us ne

    ab us ki god mein nannhi si ek masum bachchi thi

    bahut din ba'd phir aana hua us shahr mein mera

    tajassus mujh ko le aaya usi bosida kamre tak

    wahan kuchh bhi na badla tha

    wahi bosida kamra tha wahi TuTa palang bhi tha

    palang par thi wahi laDki

    magar ab wo bas ek mazur aurat thi

    usi lamhe darida pairahan chhoTi si ek laDki

    liye TuTa hua kashkol hathon mein wahan aai

    mujhe aisa laga jaise kahani bhi purani thi

    wahi kashkol aur sikke wahi chhoTi si ek laDki

    aur us ke sath bhi hona wahi tha

    jo ab tak hota aaya tha

    use bhi ek din mazur hona tha

    kabhi jab shahr ki saDkon pe chhoTi si koi laDki

    darida pairahan kashkol hathon mein sanbhaale

    sawali ban ke mere pas aati hai

    to main kashkol mein do-chaar sikke Dal deta hun

    ki ek mazur aurat mujh ko fauran yaad aati hai
