    chhail chhabīlā

    Thumak Thumak kar beach saḌak meñ

    aatī jaatī har gaaḌī se

    bhiik pūñjī uchak rahā hai

    fiqre kaste collage ke nau-ḳhez javānoñ se hans hans kar

    bāteñ kartā maTak rahā hai

    chaurāhe ishāra be-sharmī se ghuur rahā hai

    laal prānda lapak lapak kar

    naqlī kūlhoñ ko mas kartā laTak rahā hai

    ja.alī Dhalvānoñ se vo rañgīn dupaTTa

    ek taraf ko Dhalak rahā hai

    kaalī gaaḌī vaalā kitnī be-zārī se

    haath ko us ke jhaTak rahā hai

    pairoñ meñ ghuñgrū chhankātā

    mardāna chehre par mal kar jhuuT ġhāza

    nisvānī rañgoñ meñ luthḌā ek hayūlā

    jism aur jins ke ghanchakkar meñ bhaTak rahā hai

    ab vo thoḌā dam lene ko

    zard ishāre ke saa.e meñ aa baiThā hai

    zard ishāra afsurda hai

    aaj bhī us se pūchh rahā hai

    luule lañgḌe andhe bahre

    kitne ma.azūr yahāñ par roz aate haiñ

    tum kaise ma.azūr ho jis jins nahīñ hai

    taish meñ aa kar vo kahtā hai

    nahīñ nahīñ ye jhuuT hai bilkul

    maiñ ik aadhā mard huuñ lekin

    apnī aadhī jins kahīñ par kho baiThā huuñ

    zard ishāre ta.ana-zan hai

    gar tum aadhe mard the to phir

    āḳhir tum ne aurat ruup kyoñ dhārā

    zahr-ālūd nigāhoñ se vo zard ishāre ko taktā hai

    aur tīkhe andāz meñ yuuñ goyā hotā hai

    jins-zada logoñ meñ ghir kar zinda rahnā

    kab āsāñ hai

    aurat ruup hai jis se

    havas ke maare in logoñ ko dilchaspī hai

    aurat majbūrī mol lagā kar

    in logoñ ko haz miltā hai

    tum kyā jaano peT ye dozaḳh bharne ko

    kaise ḳhud ko bech ke ye kāġhaz miltā hai

    zard ishāra ro paḌtā hai

    rote rote phir kahtā hai

    ye batlāo itnī zillat aur hiqārat āḳhir kaise sah lete ho

    sach kahnā aise bhī insān to hoñge

    jin se tum ne

    insāñ hone ke naate

    kuchh to izzat paa.ī hogī

    kajrārī āñkhoñ se poñchh ke apne aañsū

    ik talḳhī se vo kahtā hai

    ham se asfal be-tauqīroñ ko izz-o-takrīm se kyā hai

    shukr ḳhudā muft sāñseñ milī huī haiñ

    ham ko to itnā bhī ġhanīmat hai ki ham ne

    apnī apnī an-dekhī maaoñ muqaddas

    kokh meñ puure nau mahīne izzat paa.ī

    sabz ishāra jal uTThā hai

    duur kisī gaaḌī se ik aḳhbār TukḌā

    beach saḌak meñ aan girā hai

    sarkārī bhartī ik tash.hīr hai jis meñ

    mard aur aurat donoñ ko ahl likhā hai

    rauñd ke apne pair ke nīche

    ye tahqīr-āmez tarāshā

    chhail chhabīlā

    Thumak Thumak kar beach saḌak meñ

    aatī jaatī har gaaḌī se

    bhiik pūñjī uchak rahā hai

    chhail chhabila

    Thumak Thumak kar beach saDak mein

    aati jati har gaDi se

    bhik ki punji uchak raha hai

    fiqre kaste collage ke nau-KHez jawanon se hans hans kar

    baaten karta maTak raha hai

    chaurahe ka ishaara be-sharmi se ghur raha hai

    lal pranda lapak lapak kar

    naqli kulhon ko mas karta laTak raha hai

    jali Dhalwanon se wo rangin dupaTTa

    ek taraf ko Dhalak raha hai

    kali gaDi wala kitni be-zari se

    hath ko us ke jhaTak raha hai

    pairon mein ghungru chhankata

    mardana chehre par mal kar jhuT ka ghaza

    niswani rangon mein luthDa ek hayula

    jism aur jins ke ghanchakkar mein bhaTak raha hai

    ab wo thoDa dam lene ko

    zard ishaare ke sae mein aa baiTha hai

    zard ishaara afsurda hai

    aaj bhi us se puchh raha hai

    lule langDe andhe bahre

    kitne hi mazur yahan par roz aate hain

    tum kaise mazur ho jis ki jins nahin hai

    taish mein aa kar wo kahta hai

    nahin nahin ye jhuT hai bilkul

    main ek aadha mard hun lekin

    apni aadhi jins kahin par kho baiTha hun

    zard ishaare tana-zan hai

    gar tum aadhe mard the to phir

    aaKHir tum ne aurat hi ka rup kyon dhaara

    zahr-alud nigahon se wo zard ishaare ko takta hai

    aur tikhe andaz mein yun goya hota hai

    jins-zada logon mein ghir kar zinda rahna

    kab aasan hai

    aurat hi ka rup hai jis se

    hawas ke mare in logon ko dilchaspi hai

    aurat hi ki majburi ka mol laga kar

    in logon ko haz milta hai

    tum kya jaano peT ka ye dozaKH bharne ko

    kaise KHud ko bech ke ye kaghaz milta hai

    zard ishaara ro paDta hai

    rote rote phir kahta hai

    ye batlao itni zillat aur hiqarat aaKHir kaise sah lete ho

    sach kahna aise bhi insan to honge

    jin se tum ne

    insan hone ke nate hi

    kuchh to izzat pai hogi

    kajrari aankhon se ponchh ke apne aansu

    ek talKHi se wo kahta hai

    hum se asfal be-tauqiron ko izz-o-takrim se kya hai

    shukr KHuda ka muft ki sansen mili hui hain

    hum ko to itna bhi ghanimat hai ki hum ne

    apni apni an-dekhi maon ki muqaddas

    kokh mein pure nau mahine izzat pai

    sabz ishaara jal uTTha hai

    dur kisi gaDi se ek aKHbar ka TukDa

    beach saDak mein aan gira hai

    sarkari bharti ki ek tashhir hai jis mein

    mard aur aurat donon hi ko ahl likha hai

    raund ke apne pair ke niche

    ye tahqir-amez tarasha

    chhail chhabila

    Thumak Thumak kar beach saDak mein

    aati jati har gaDi se

    bhik ki punji uchak raha hai
