    ka.ī manzar badalte haiñ

    khulī āñkhoñ ke shīshe par sulagtī ḳhaak chehra

    charāġhoñ dhuāñ,

    khiḌkī,

    koī rauzan...

    havā ke naam karne ko hamāre paas kyā bāqī, bachā hai?

    lahū ke par lagī saḌkeñ

    kaTe sar par barastī jūtiyoñ ke shor meñ jaagā huā

    be-ḳhānumāñ nām-o-nasab,

    mātam-kunāñ girya-kunāñ āñkheñ,

    shikasta-rū sahar siskiyāñ...

    jaise

    masīhāoñ ke ujle pairahan par zaḳhm bharne

    rivāyat naqsh hotī hai

    hamāre paas kyā baaqī bachā hai?

    tilism-āvar shu.ūrī qahqahe

    kirneñ!

    dur-e-mahtāb se niklī huī kuchh mustarad kirneñ

    ridā.eñ!

    jin ke konoñ se bañdhe sikke

    mirā tāvān Thahre haiñ

    lahū tāvān meñ de kar

    maiñ ḳhālī haath aayā huuñ

    mire logo!

    bhañvar raah se bach kar maiñ ḳhālī haath aayā huuñ

    mujhe kis ne bulāyā thaa!

    kisī ummīd se mansūb raste ne

    jahāñ shāḳh-e-samar ab tak shajar kokh se bāhar nahīñ niklī

    jahāñ

    jīvan lambī āstīñ saañs letā hai

    mirī aahoñ sannāTā!!

    kai manzar badalte hain

    khuli aankhon ke shishe par sulagti KHak ka chehra

    charaghon ka dhuan,

    khiDki,

    koi rauzan

    hawa ke nam karne ko hamare pas kya baqi, bacha hai?

    lahu ke par lagi saDken

    kaTe sar par barasti jutiyon ke shor mein jaga hua

    be-KHanuman nam-o-nasab,

    matam-kunan girya-kunan aankhen,

    shikasta-ru sahar ki siskiyan

    jaise

    masihaon ke ujle pairahan par zaKHm bharne ki

    riwayat naqsh hoti hai

    hamare pas kya baqi bacha hai?

    tilism-awar shuuri qahqahe

    kirnen!

    dur-e-mahtab se nikli hui kuchh mustarad kirnen

    ridaen!

    jin ke konon se bandhe sikke

    mera tawan Thahre hain

    lahu tawan mein de kar

    main KHali hath aaya hun

    mere logo!

    bhanwar ki rah se bach kar main KHali hath aaya hun

    mujhe kis ne bulaya tha!

    kisi ummid se mansub raste ne

    jahan shaKH-e-samar ab tak shajar ki kokh se bahar nahin nikli

    jahan

    jiwan ki lambi aastin sans leta hai

    meri aahon ka sannaTa!!
