    faqat ḳhālī piñjra badan paḌā thā

    aur nīm-vā in kivāḌoñ har charcharāhaT meñ

    hairāniyāñ boltī thiiñ

    zamīñ fazā se

    mujhe kis ne bāhar Dhakelā

    falak tak mirī dastaras kyuuñ nahīñ thī

    na jaane maiñ kab tak ḳhalā meñ bhaTaktī rahī thī

    vahīñ par

    munaqqash darīchoñ meñ

    sarsabz beleñ sutūnoñ se lipTī huī thiiñ

    chamakte hue chhat ke fānūs raushnī meñ

    beloñ ke pattoñ āñkhoñ meñ Thahrī namī

    jhilmilāne lagī thii!

    magar sab nazreñ

    sajī Tabaloñ par jamī thiiñ

    kisī ko ḳhabar kab huī thī

    vahāñ meñ nahīñ thī

    faqat KHali pinjra badan ka paDa tha

    aur nim-wa in kiwaDon ki har charcharahaT mein

    hairaniyan bolti thin

    zamin ki faza se

    mujhe kis ne bahar Dhakela

    falak tak meri dastaras kyun nahin thi

    na jaane main kab tak KHala mein bhaTakti rahi thi

    wahin par

    munaqqash darichon mein

    sarsabz belen sutunon se lipTi hui thin

    chamakte hue chhat ke fanus ki raushni mein

    belon ke patton ki aankhon mein Thahri nami

    jhilmilane lagi thi!

    magar sab ki nazren

    saji Tabalon par jami thin

    kisi ko KHabar kab hui thi

    wahan mein nahin thi
