    hamesha se vahī maḳhdūsh hālat

    ek aadhī meñgnī dum se lagī hai

    naak meñ balġham bharā hai

    haDDiyāñ ubhrī huī haiñ pusht

    do roz pahle

    muñDī hai uun merī

    sardiyoñ ke din haiñ

    chaTyal be-numū maidān meñ

    revaḌ ke andar

    sar jhukā.e

    ghaas ummīd meñ

    maddham shikasta chaal chaltā

    ḳhushk DanThal

    aur polythene ke murda lifāfoñ ko chabātā

    din Dhale baaḌe meñ aatā huuñ

    hamesha se vahī dozaḳh bhārī raat

    kohna ḳhauf asrār

    gahrī

    nukīlī qatliyoñ vaale suar

    kuttoñ lambī bhūñk

    kohre aur andhere chaḌhā.ī

    bheḌiyoñ ke daañt

    ḳhatra!

    sub.h-dam baaḌe meñ

    koī aadmī aatā hai

    moTī chhāl rassī gale meñ Dāltā hai

    zab.h-ḳhāne taraf chaltā hai

    duniyā apne andar mast hai

    arz-o-samā apnī jagah maujūd haiñ

    paanī usī sur.at se dariyāoñ meñ bahtā hai

    pahāḌoñ vahī istādgī

    sab kuchh vahī hai

    hast sāñseñ

    musalsal chal rahī haiñ

    muzmahil kamzor Tāñgeñ

    ek duuje se ulajhtī dastiyāñ

    be-mā.egī āḳhirī lamha

    zabān-e-be-zabānī

    ek dam gardan pe

    tezī se chhurī chaltī hai

    qissa ḳhatm hotā hai

    hamesha se yahāñ qurbān hotā aa rahā huuñ

    kār-āmad jānvar huuñ

    khaal se juute

    sunahrī uun se bantī haiñ sar Topiyāñ

    aur gosht paktā hai

    hamesha se wahi maKHdush haalat

    ek aadhi meingni dum se lagi hai

    nak mein balgham bhara hai

    haDDiyan ubhri hui hain pusht ki

    do roz pahle hi

    munDi hai un meri

    sardiyon ke din hain

    chaTyal be-numu maidan mein

    rewaD ke andar

    sar jhukae

    ghas ki ummid mein

    maddham shikasta chaal chalta

    KHushk DanThal

    aur polythene ke murda lifafon ko chabaata

    din Dhale baDe mein aata hun

    hamesha se wahi dozaKH ki bhaari raat

    kohna KHauf ka asrar

    gahri bu

    nukili qatliyon wale suar

    kutton ki lambi bhunk

    kohre aur andhere ki chaDhai

    bheDiyon ke dant

    KHatra!

    subh-dam baDe mein

    koi aadmi aata hai

    moTi chhaal ki rassi gale mein Dalta hai

    zabh-KHane ki taraf chalta hai

    duniya apne andar mast hai

    arz-o-sama apni jagah maujud hain

    pani usi surat se dariyaon mein bahta hai

    pahaDon ki wahi istadgi

    sab kuchh wahi hai

    hast ki sansen

    musalsal chal rahi hain

    muzmahil kamzor Tangen

    ek duje se ulajhti dastiyan

    be-maegi ka aaKHiri lamha

    zaban-e-be-zabani

    ek dam gardan pe

    tezi se chhuri chalti hai

    qissa KHatm hota hai

    hamesha se yahan qurban hota aa raha hun

    kar-amad jaanwar hun

    khaal se jute

    sunahri un se banti hain sar ki Topiyan

    aur gosht pakta hai
