    tum kahte ho kavitā likh do

    mujhe ḳhuun bahāna paḌtā hai

    shabdoñ khīñchā-tānī meñ

    nabzoñ dhāga kaTtā hai

    ġham ke nokīle nashtar se

    dil par gudvānā paḌtā hai

    banjar kāġhaz ke siine meñ

    ḳhanjar ban jaanā paḌtā hai

    nazmoñ ġhazloñ ke jhagḌe se

    zaḳhmoñ ko chhuḌānā paḌtā hai

    vo galī jahāñ vo rahtā thā

    us galī meñ jaanā paḌtā hai

    us har baat bayāñ karke

    phir naam miTānā paḌtā hai

    vo aks jise maiñ yaad nahīñ

    use raqs dikhānā paḌtā hai

    saare tevar girvī rakh kar

    us ko chhuḌvānā paḌtā hai

    vaah vaah ke mai-ḳhānoñ meñ dhut

    ghar le kar aanā paḌtā hai

    pāgal-pan had tak ke

    phir vāpas aanā paḌtā hai

    sab chaturā.ī bik jaatī hai

    jab shunya kamānā paḌtā hai

    ātish-bāzī ātish-bāzī

    ḳhud ko jalānā paḌtā hai

    zevar nahīñ ta.avīz hai ye

    partoñ meñ chhupānā paḌtā hai

    kahte ho ek kavitā likh do

    tum kahte ho kawita likh do

    mujhe KHun bahana paDta hai

    shabdon ki khincha-tani mein

    nabzon ka dhaga kaTta hai

    gham ke nokile nashtar se

    dil par gudwana paDta hai

    banjar kaghaz ke sine mein

    KHanjar ban jaana paDta hai

    nazmon ghazlon ke jhagDe se

    zaKHmon ko chhuDana paDta hai

    wo gali jahan wo rahta tha

    us gali mein jaana paDta hai

    us ki har baat bayan karke

    phir nam miTana paDta hai

    wo aks jise main yaad nahin

    use raqs dikhana paDta hai

    sare tewar girwi rakh kar

    us ko chhuDwana paDta hai

    wah wah ke mai-KHanon mein dhut

    ghar le kar aana paDta hai

    pagal-pan ki had tak ja ke

    phir wapas aana paDta hai

    sab chaturai bik jati hai

    jab shunya kamana paDta hai

    aatish-bazi aatish-bazi

    KHud ko hi jalana paDta hai

    zewar nahin tawiz hai ye

    parton mein chhupana paDta hai

    kahte ho ek kawita likh do
