    kal jo qabristān se lauTā

    to tanhā.ī ik bojh uThā kar laayā

    aise lagtā thā ki maiñ bujhtā diyā huuñ

    aur sab log tamāshā.ī haiñ

    muntazir haiñ ki mere bujhne manzar dekheñ

    aise lagtā thā ki har gaam par khulte dahāne haiñ

    mere jism ko āġhosh meñ lene ke liye

    zindagī duur khaḌī hañstī rahī

    qahqahoñ ik samundar

    merī jānib mauj-dar-mauj baḌhā

    shab sannāTā

    falak-bos imārāt ke Darboñ meñ vo hilte hue saa.e

    jaise marghaT samāñ ho

    rāste naag mānind dahāne khole

    kahīñ fōtpath pe leTe hue be-jān se jism

    jin pe khambe yuuñ khaḌe the

    jaise ye katbe gaḌe hoñ

    phir achānak vo brakoñ creach

    surḳh-ḳhūñ ek favvārā

    vo ik kutte laash

    zindagī ek tilismāt-kadā

    jis dīvāroñ zīnat ke liye

    lamhoñ rañgī titliyāñ patthar huiiñ

    kal jo qabristan se lauTa

    to tanhai ka ek bojh uTha kar laya

    aise lagta tha ki main bujhta diya hun

    aur sab log tamashai hain

    muntazir hain ki mere bujhne ka manzar dekhen

    aise lagta tha ki har gam par khulte dahane hain

    mere jism ko aaghosh mein lene ke liye

    zindagi dur khaDi hansti rahi

    qahqahon ka ek samundar

    meri jaanib mauj-dar-mauj baDha

    shab ka sannaTa

    falak-bos imaraat ke Darbon mein wo hilte hue sae

    jaise marghaT ka saman ho

    raste nag ki manind dahane khole

    kahin footpath pe leTe hue be-jaan se jism

    jin pe khambe yun khaDe the

    jaise ye katbe gaDe hon

    phir achanak wo brakon ki creach

    surKH-KHun ka ek fawwara

    wo ek kutte ki lash

    zindagi ek tilismat-kada

    jis ki diwaron ki zinat ke liye

    lamhon ki rangi titliyan patthar huin
