    dekhte dekhte unhoñ ne sayyāre ko lafzoñ se bhar diyā

    faisloñ aur fāsloñ ko tuul dene fan unheñ ḳhuub aatā hai

    jahāz bandar-gāhoñ meñ khaḌe haiñ

    aur gharoñ, godāmoñ, dukānoñ meñ

    kisī lafz ke liye jagah nahīñ rahī

    itne bahut se lafz... uff ḳhudāyā!

    mujhe is zamīn par chalte hue aThThā.īs baras ho ga.e

    baap, maañ, bahnoñ, bhā.iyoñ aur mahbūbāoñ ke darmiyān

    insānoñ ke darmiyān

    maiñ ne dekhā

    in ta.arīfoñ, ta.ārufoñ aur ta.aziyatoñ ke liye

    un ke paas larazte hue hoñT haiñ

    DabDabā.ī huī āñkheñ haiñ

    garm hatheliyāñ haiñ

    unheñ kisī iblāġh zarūrat nahīñ

    nān-bā.ī gungunātā hai

    use lafz nahīñ chāhiye

    ek naand... aaTā ghūñdhne ke liye

    ek taḳhta... peḌe banāne ke liye

    ek salāḳh tannūr se roTī nikālne ke liye

    nān-bā.ī kaam ḳhatm kar lo to mere paas aanā

    yahāñ kināre par sarkandoñ jañgal aap aap ug aayā hai

    kuchh qalam maiñ ne tarāshe haiñ

    aur ek bāñsurī...

    baaqī sarkandoñ se ek kashtī banā.ī hai

    gaDaryā, kisān, kāshtkār, mausīqār, āhan-gar

    sab tayyār haiñ

    kuchh āvāzeñ kashtī meñ rakh haiñ

    madrase ghanTī...

    ek lorī

    aur ek duā

    ek na.ī zamīn par zinda rahne ke liye is se ziyāda kuchh nahīñ chāhiye

    dekhte hi dekhte unhon ne sayyare ko lafzon se bhar diya

    faislon aur faslon ko tul dene ka fan unhen KHub aata hai

    jahaz bandar-gahon mein khaDe hain

    aur gharon, godamon, dukanon mein

    kisi lafz ke liye jagah nahin rahi

    itne bahut se lafz uff KHudaya!

    mujhe is zamin par chalte hue aThThais baras ho gae

    bap, man, bahnon, bhaiyon aur mahbubaon ke darmiyan

    insanon ke darmiyan

    main ne dekha

    in tarifon, taarufon aur taziyaton ke liye

    un ke pas larazte hue honT hain

    DabDabai hui aankhen hain

    garm hatheliyan hain

    unhen kisi iblagh ki zarurat nahin

    nan-bai gungunata hai

    use lafz nahin chahiye

    ek nand aaTa ghundhne ke liye

    ek taKHta peDe banane ke liye

    ek salaKH tannur se roTi nikalne ke liye

    nan-bai ka kaam KHatm kar lo to mere pas aana

    yahan kinare par sarkandon ka jangal aap hi aap ug aaya hai

    kuchh qalam main ne tarashe hain

    aur ek bansuri

    baqi sarkandon se ek kashti banai hai

    gaDarya, kisan, kashtkar, mausiqar, aahan-gar

    sab tayyar hain

    kuchh aawazen kashti mein rakh li hain

    madrase ki ghanTi

    ek lori

    aur ek dua

    ek nai zamin par zinda rahne ke liye is se ziyaada kuchh nahin chahiye
