    yahīñ se guzrā thā

    kārvān-e-shīsha-garāñ

    tum ko mā'lūm hai pā-shikasta raahī

    darāz ūñToñ pe phūTtī shu’ā’eñ

    sabz laal niilī rū-pahlī aage

    darāz-qad shīshagar sārbāñ

    tamkanat se mahār thāme

    vo kārvāñ to manzil se milā hai

    sārbāñ

    mahmil pe jalva-afroz haiñ darāz

    ūñToñ pe un ke darāz-qad

    ab darāz-tar haiñ

    matā'-e-shīsha-garī

    chūr-chūr bikhrī hai rāhoñ meñ

    reza-reza

    havā meñ tahlīl ho ga.ī hai

    udaas raahī

    tum jo pā-barahna nikle the dhartī ke lams aarzū meñ

    chanchal havā āġhosh meñ zindagī asaas paane

    dekho

    tumhāre qadam lahūluhān haiñ havā ke bose tumhāre

    tishna-laboñ ko majrūh kar rahe haiñ

    vo kaun haiñ kyā tumhāre sāthī haiñ vo jinhoñ ne

    us shāhrāh se zarā haT kar rangīn plastic ke

    ḳheme lagā liye haiñ vo kaun haiñ jo plastic ke

    dabīz malbūs meñ plastic naqābeñ juute

    is dhaj se zaḳhmī zamīn ke siine par gāmzan haiñ

    shikasta raahī

    jo ho sake to pāgal havā se pūchho

    siyāh jhāḌiyoñ meñ kitne figār jism

    vo sab jo nikle the dhartī ke lams aarzū meñ

    jo ho sake to zaḳhmī havā ke siine pe ab

    figār dhartī pe apne lahū se tum apnā naam likh do

    siyāh jhāḌiyāñ ab bhī muntazir haiñ

    yahin se guzra tha

    karwan-e-shisha-garan

    tum ko ma'lum hai pa-shikasta rahi

    daraaz unTon pe phuTti shu’a’en

    sabz lal nili ru-pahli aage

    daraaz-qad shishagar sarban

    tamkanat se mahaar thame

    wo karwan to manzil se ja mila hai

    sarban

    mahmil pe jalwa-afroz hain daraaz

    unTon pe un ke daraaz-qad

    ab daraaz-tar hain

    mata'-e-shisha-gari

    chur-chur bikhri hai rahon mein

    reza-reza

    hawa mein tahlil ho gai hai

    udas rahi

    tum jo pa-barahna nikle the dharti ke lams ki aarzu mein

    chanchal hawa ki aaghosh mein zindagi ki asas pane

    dekho

    tumhaare qadam lahuluhan hain hawa ke bose tumhaare

    tishna-labon ko majruh kar rahe hain

    wo kaun hain kya tumhaare sathi hain wo jinhon ne

    us shahrah se zara haT kar rangin plastic ke

    KHeme laga liye hain wo kaun hain jo plastic ke

    dabiz malbus mein plastic ki naqaben jute

    is dhaj se zaKHmi zamin ke sine par gamzan hain

    shikasta rahi

    jo ho sake to pagal hawa se puchho

    siyah jhaDiyon mein kitne figar jism

    wo sab jo nikle the dharti ke lams ki aarzu mein

    jo ho sake to zaKHmi hawa ke sine pe ab

    ya figar dharti pe apne lahu se tum apna nam likh do

    siyah jhaDiyan ab bhi muntazir hain
