MORE BYSara Shagufta

    ḳhālī ā.ankhoñ makān mahñgā hai

    mujhe miTTī lakīr ban jaane do

    ḳhudā bahut se insān banānā bhuul gayā hai

    merī sunsān ā.ankhoñ meñ aahaT rahne do

    aag zā.iqa charāġh hai

    aur niiñd zā.iqa insān

    mujhe pattharoñ jitnā kas do

    ki merī be-zabānī mash.hūr na ho

    maiñ ḳhudā zabān muñh meñ rakhe

    kabhī phuul ban jaatī huuñ aur kabhī kāñTā

    zanjīroñ rihā.ī do

    ki insān in se zyāda qaid hai

    mujhe tanhā marnā hai

    so ye āñkheñ ye dil

    kisī ḳhālī insān ko de denā

    KHali aaankhon ka makan mahnga hai

    mujhe miTTi ki lakir ban jaane do

    KHuda bahut se insan banana bhul gaya hai

    meri sunsan aaankhon mein aahaT rahne do

    aag ka zaiqa charagh hai

    aur nind ka zaiqa insan

    mujhe pattharon jitna kas do

    ki meri be-zabani mashhur na ho

    main KHuda ki zaban munh mein rakhe

    kabhi phul ban jati hun aur kabhi kanTa

    zanjiron ki rihai do

    ki insan in se zyaada qaid hai

    mujhe tanha marna hai

    so ye aankhen ye dil

    kisi KHali insan ko de dena
