    maiñ jiinā chāhtā huuñ

    magar kīḌe-makoḌoñ aur be-māya maḳhlūqāt tarah

    reñg reñg kar nahīñ!

    maiñ jiinā chāhtā huuñ

    magar apne bātin meñ

    kulbulāte shar par

    zāhirī aḳhlāq ridā

    Daal kar nahīñ

    maiñ jiinā chāhtā huuñ

    magar aise nahīñ

    ki mere vajūd ke andar

    buġhz havas aur riyā-kārī bārūdī surañgeñ

    bichhī hoñ

    aur har lahza har pal

    ye ḳhauf

    ki kab koī

    remote control se

    anā aur ġhairat ehsās aur jazbe

    ḳhūb-sūrat imāratoñ ko

    Dhā de

    maiñ jiinā chāhtā huuñ

    apne puure vajūd saarī ikā.īyoñ ke saath

    aur mujhe ye ehsās na satā.e

    ki ye zindagī

    kisī bhiik meñ huī sāñsoñ hissa hai

    maiñ jiinā chāhtā huuñ

    ek aisī duniyā meñ

    jahāñ mulk-gīrī ke junūn

    itne shadīd na hoñ ki

    itemi tavānā.ī se mumayyaz ālāt fazā ko masmūm kar deñ

    insān us hazāroñ barsoñ purānī qadreñ

    aisī pāmāl ho jaa.eñ jaise haqīr zarre

    magar maiñ jāntā huuñ

    ye sab mumkin nahīñ

    to maiñ marnā chāhūñgā

    par aisī maut nahīñ

    ki merī laash ko

    qabristān tak pahuñchāne meñ

    takalluf majbūrī aur zabardastī shā.iba ho

    duā meñ hilte hue lab

    aur uThā.e hue haath

    majbūrān o rasman hoñ

    haañ aisī maut jo kisī āñkhoñ meñ

    Thahre hue chand qatre

    ḳhāmoshī se mere kafan meñ

    jazb ho jaa.eñ

    aur bas!!

    main jina chahta hun

    magar kiDe-makoDon aur be-maya maKHluqat ki tarah

    reng reng kar nahin!

    main jina chahta hun

    magar apne baatin mein

    kulbulate shar par

    zahiri aKHlaq ki rida

    Dal kar nahin

    main jina chahta hun

    magar aise nahin

    ki mere wajud ke andar

    bughz hawas aur riya-kari ki barudi surangen

    bichhi hon

    aur har lahza har pal

    ye KHauf

    ki kab koi

    remote control se

    ana aur ghairat ehsas aur jazbe

    ki KHub-surat imaraton ko

    Dha de

    main jina chahta hun

    apne pure wajud ki sari ikaiyon ke sath

    aur mujhe ye ehsas na satae

    ki ye zindagi

    kisi ki bhik mein di hui sanson ka hissa hai

    main jina chahta hun

    ek aisi duniya mein

    jahan mulk-giri ke junun

    itne shadid na hon ki

    itemi tawanai se mumayyaz aalat faza ko masmum kar den

    insan us ki hazaron barson ki purani qadren

    aisi pamal ho jaen jaise haqir zarre

    magar main jaanta hun

    ye sab mumkin nahin

    to main marna chahunga

    par aisi maut nahin

    ki meri lash ko

    qabristan tak pahunchane mein

    takalluf majburi aur zabardasti ka shaiba ho

    ya dua mein hilte hue lab

    aur uThae hue hath

    majburan o rasman hon

    han aisi maut jo kisi ki aankhon mein

    Thahre hue chand qatre

    KHamoshi se mere kafan mein

    jazb ho jaen

    aur bas!!
