    ek an-jānā Dar

    jab vo paidā huī thī

    us ke andar jazb thā

    ek añdherī koTharī ḳhauf

    rag rag meñ basā thā

    ek ūñchā.ī se gir jaane dahshat

    pīchhe pīchhe chal rahī thī

    ek darvāze ke pīchhe ke chhup jaane shauq

    zindagī sab se pahlī aarzū thī

    khiḌkiyoñ oT se galiyoñ manzar dekhnā

    zindagī sab se pahlī justujū thī

    jab zarā vaqt guzrā

    aql ke tāroñ jumbish se badan jaagā

    hifāzat tasavvur is qadar vahshat-zada thā

    ki apne jism se sharmindagī hotī rahī

    phir ḳharīdāroñ duniyā meñ zarā sun-gun huī

    dil dhaḌakne sadā mādūm ho kar rah ga.ī

    ḳhauf ke gahne sajā kar

    aur jhijak ke be-tahāshā phuul pahnā kar

    ḳharīdāroñ ne us ko phir se andhī koTharī meñ qaid kar Daalā

    vo jis ḳhauf vo bachpan se sahtī aa rahī thī

    phir zarā hosh aayā

    daur-e-nau-umrī gayā to aañkh se parda haTā

    manzar nazar aane lage

    paañv chaukhaT taraf baḌhne lage

    ik qadam rakkhā thā ki nanhe nanhe haath ik zanjīr ban kar aa ga.e

    ab vo is raste meñ hai sab jis ko rāh-e-marg kahte haiñ

    munjamid āñkhoñ meñ ab manzar Thaharte nahīñ

    ab kisī chaukhaT jānib paañv baḌhte nahīñ

    nanhe nanhe haath kuchh is tarah ūñche ho ga.e

    ab dastaras se duur haiñ

    apnī zanjīroñ meñ ḳhud mahsūr haiñ

    us andhī koTharī par ek katba nasb hai

    ''is jagah dildār-begam dafn hai

    vo afīfa pārsā sābir-o-shākir so rahī hai

    yahāñ se ġhair mardoñ guzarnā man.a hai

    barā.e fātiha jo aanā chāhe aa.e

    lekin duur se paḌh le''

    ek an-jaana sa Dar

    jab wo paida hui thi

    us ke andar jazb tha

    ek andheri koThari ka KHauf

    rag rag mein basa tha

    ek unchai se gir jaane ki dahshat

    pichhe pichhe chal rahi thi

    ek darwaze ke pichhe ja ke chhup jaane ka shauq

    zindagi ki sab se pahli aarzu thi

    khiDkiyon ki oT se galiyon ka manzar dekhna

    zindagi ki sab se pahli justuju thi

    jab zara sa waqt guzra

    aql ke taron ki jumbish se badan jaga

    hifazat ka tasawwur is qadar wahshat-zada tha

    ki apne jism se sharmindagi hoti rahi

    phir KHaridaron ki duniya mein zara sun-gun hui

    dil dhaDakne ki sada madum ho kar rah gai

    KHauf ke gahne saja kar

    aur jhijak ke be-tahasha phul pahna kar

    KHaridaron ne us ko phir se andhi koThari mein qaid kar Dala

    wo jis ka KHauf wo bachpan se sahti aa rahi thi

    phir zara sa hosh aaya

    daur-e-nau-umri gaya to aankh se parda haTa

    manzar nazar aane lage

    panw chaukhaT ki taraf baDhne lage

    ek qadam rakkha hi tha ki nanhe nanhe hath ek zanjir ban kar aa gae

    ab wo is raste mein hai sab jis ko rah-e-marg kahte hain

    munjamid aankhon mein ab manzar Thaharte hi nahin

    ab kisi chaukhaT ki jaanib panw baDhte hi nahin

    nanhe nanhe hath kuchh is tarah unche ho gae

    ab dastaras se dur hain

    apni zanjiron mein KHud mahsur hain

    us ki andhi koThari par ek katba nasb hai

    is jagah dildar-begam dafn hai

    wo afifa parsa sabir-o-shakir so rahi hai

    yahan se ghair mardon ka guzarna mana hai

    barae fatiha jo aana chahe aae

    lekin dur se paDh le
