    mujhe pata bhī na chalā

    aur maiñ tābūt-nagar aa gayā

    ye itnā mub.ham bhī na thā

    tābūt-nagar

    jis galiyoñ meñ

    insān apnī parchhā.iyoñ se kaT jaate haiñ

    tābūt nagar ke chaar chob darvāze aur darīche

    insānoñ ke muntazir haiñ

    jo apne gharoñ meñ dafn haiñ

    jab yaḳh-basta havā.eñ Takrātī haiñ un gharoñ se

    to ye log apnī badbū-dār saañs

    kisī ġhubāre tarah apne andar bhar lete haiñ

    jab log apnī ḳhāmoshī se uktā jaate haiñ

    shor talāsh meñ

    dīvāroñ ko toḌ kar

    bāhar nikal aate haiñ

    apne aziim maqsad aaḌ meñ

    ek dūsre ko daar se laTkāte haiñ

    mujhe pata bhī na chalā

    aur maiñ tābūt-nagar aa gayā

    pichhlī raat

    kyūñki har insān ek pichhlī raat hotī hai

    jab bille rote haiñ

    jab ḳhāna-zād makḌī jaalā buntī hai

    jis ke markaz meñ chamak uThtā hai chāñd

    jab insānoñ ke andar ke jhaaḌ jhankār

    un ke kānoñ nathnoñ se

    un ke dahan aur maq'ad se

    bāhar nikal aate haiñ

    jab zahrīle kukurmutte ugte haiñ

    un shiryānoñ se

    jinheñ apnī zarūrat ke mutābiq

    vo apne chaugāth par sajāte haiñ

    ḳhūbsūrat rangoñ se rangte haiñ

    ḳhūbsūrat lafzoñ se Dhak kar

    duniyā ke sāmne laate haiñ

    pichhlī raat

    kisī ne kahā thā

    ab is raat mātam be-kār hai

    vaqt aa chukā hai ki log

    apne tābūt se uThā.e jaa.eñ

    dho dhulā kar achchhe kapḌe pahnā.e jaa.eñ

    na.e sire se dafnā.e jaa.eñ

    is zarūrat aa chukī hai

    ki tārīḳh se logoñ ke nā-jā.ez qabze haTā.e jaa.eñ

    to maiñ ne nafī meñ sar hilāyā

    ye hamāre ḳhuun meñ hai

    ye jarsūme kabhī nahīñ marte

    inheñ baar baar uThne lat hai

    inheñ baar baar dafnānā zarūrī ho jaatā hai

    aur maiñ mez se uThne vaalā āḳhirī shaḳhs na thā

    jise apne tābūt ke andar jaanā thā

    na ye āḳhirī baar thā ki mujhe tābūt se bāhar aanā thā

    na ye āḳhirī baar thā ki na.e sire se

    ek na.e mātam ke saath ek na.e katbe ke saath

    mujhe ek na.e tābūt meñ apnā ghar basānā thā

    aur mujhe pata bhī na chalā

    maiñ tābūt-nagar aa gayā

    mujhe pata bhi na chala

    aur main tabut-nagar aa gaya

    ye itna mubham bhi na tha

    tabut-nagar

    jis ki galiyon mein

    insan apni parchhaiyon se kaT jate hain

    tabut nagar ke chaar chob darwaze aur dariche

    insanon ke muntazir hain

    jo apne gharon mein dafn hain

    jab yaKH-basta hawaen Takraati hain un gharon se

    to ye log apni badbu-dar sans

    kisi ghubare ki tarah apne andar bhar lete hain

    jab log apni KHamoshi se ukta jate hain

    shor ki talash mein

    diwaron ko toD kar

    bahar nikal aate hain

    apne azim maqsad ki aaD mein

    ek dusre ko dar se laTkate hain

    mujhe pata bhi na chala

    aur main tabut-nagar aa gaya

    pichhli raat

    kyunki har insan ki ek pichhli raat hoti hai

    jab bille rote hain

    jab KHana-zad makDi jala bunti hai

    jis ke markaz mein chamak uThta hai chand

    jab insanon ke andar ke jhaD jhankar

    un ke kanon nathnon se

    un ke dahan aur maq'ad se

    bahar nikal aate hain

    jab zahrile kukurmutte ugte hain

    un ki shiryanon se

    jinhen apni zarurat ke mutabiq

    wo apne chaugath par sajate hain

    KHubsurat rangon se rangte hain

    KHubsurat lafzon se Dhak kar

    duniya ke samne late hain

    pichhli raat

    kisi ne kaha tha

    ab is raat ka matam be-kar hai

    waqt aa chuka hai ki log

    apne tabut se uThae jaen

    dho dhula kar achchhe kapDe pahnae jaen

    nae sire se dafnae jaen

    is ki zarurat aa chuki hai

    ki tariKH se logon ke na-jaez qabze haTae jaen

    to main ne nafi mein sar hilaya

    ye hamare KHun mein hai

    ye jarsume kabhi nahin marte

    inhen bar bar ji uThne ki lat hai

    inhen bar bar dafnana zaruri ho jata hai

    aur main mez se uThne wala aaKHiri shaKHs na tha

    jise apne tabut ke andar jaana tha

    na ye aaKHiri bar tha ki mujhe tabut se bahar aana tha

    na ye aaKHiri bar tha ki nae sire se

    ek nae matam ke sath ek nae katbe ke sath

    mujhe ek nae tabut mein apna ghar basana tha

    aur mujhe pata bhi na chala

    main tabut-nagar aa gaya
