    hamāre shahr ābādī ke darmiyān

    kisī bhī samjhaute ke imkān ko mustarad karte hue

    shahr ke shumāl maġhrib meñ

    duur tak phailī huī pahāḌī meñ ek shigāf Daal diyā gayā hai

    pahāḌī ko kāTne ye achhūtā ḳhayāl

    shahr ke kuchh me.amāroñ ke zehn meñ kyā aayā

    shahr ke makānoñ ke dar-o-dīvār

    is na.ī tafrīq ke shor-o-shar se

    tap kar surḳh ho ga.e

    aur shahr ke uupar mañDlāne lage

    qismat āzmā.ūñ ke azā.em

    shahr ko ab na.e zāviyoñ se dekhā jaane lagā

    ab is pahāḌī meñ

    ka.ī ek aise maqāmāt dikhā.ī dene lage haiñ

    jahāñ se use mazīd kaaTā

    kamzor kiyā saktā hai

    pahāḌī ke kaTte

    us paas ābādiyoñ ne apnī hudūd ko

    na.e sire se tartīb de liyā hai

    kaTāo se shahr meñ havā dabāo

    ġhair-mustahkam ho gayā hai

    gāḌiyoñ ke route badalne lage

    jamī jamā.ī ābādī

    mutazalzal ho ga.ī

    bāzāroñ aur ḳharīdāroñ ke rañg ruup

    aur chehre mohre tabdīl ho ga.e haiñ

    log shāh-rāhoñ

    makānoñ

    parkoñ

    schōloñ aur ibādat-gāhoñ ko

    yuuñ dekhne lage

    jaise un ke biich bhī unheñ

    shigāf dikhā.ī dene lage hoñ

    kaTī huī pahāḌī ne

    ham sab ke chehroñ ke biich

    ek mustaqil darāḌ Daal hai

    in me.amāroñ se zyāda

    jinhoñ ne pahāḌī meñ shigāf Daalā

    ham har us shai se ḳhauf-zada haiñ

    jis meñ ba-zāhir koī shigāf darāḌ dikhā.ī nahīñ detī

    par jis ke darmiyān se

    mustaqil jhāñk rahī hai

    kaTī huī pahāḌī

    hamare shahr ki aabaadi ke darmiyan

    kisi bhi samjhaute ke imkan ko mustarad karte hue

    shahr ke shumal maghrib mein

    dur tak phaili hui pahaDi mein ek shigaf Dal diya gaya hai

    pahaDi ko kaTne ka ye achhuta KHayal

    shahr ke kuchh meamaron ke zehn mein kya aaya

    shahr ke makanon ke dar-o-diwar

    is nai tafriq ke shor-o-shar se

    tap kar surKH ho gae

    aur shahr ke upar manDlane lage

    qismat aazmaun ke azaem

    shahr ko ab nae zawiyon se dekha jaane laga

    ab is pahaDi mein

    kai ek aise maqamat dikhai dene lage hain

    jahan se use mazid kaTa

    ya kamzor kiya ja sakta hai

    pahaDi ke kaTte hi

    us pas ki aabaadiyon ne apni hudud ko

    nae sire se tartib de liya hai

    kaTao se shahr mein hawa ka dabao

    ghair-mustahkam ho gaya hai

    gaDiyon ke route badalne lage

    jami jamai aabaadi

    mutazalzal ho gai

    bazaron aur KHaridaron ke rang rup

    aur chehre mohre tabdil ho gae hain

    log shah-rahon

    makanon

    parkon

    schoolon aur ibaadat-gahon ko

    yun dekhne lage

    jaise un ke bich bhi unhen

    shigaf dikhai dene lage hon

    kaTi hui pahaDi ne

    hum sab ke chehron ke bich

    ek mustaqil daraD Dal di hai

    in meamaron se zyaada

    jinhon ne pahaDi mein shigaf Dala

    hum har us shai se KHauf-zada hain

    jis mein ba-zahir koi shigaf ya daraD dikhai nahin deti

    par jis ke darmiyan se

    mustaqil jhank rahi hai

    kaTi hui pahaDi
