hamārī aañkh meñ nokīle kāñTe
aur badan meñ
zahr ke neze tarāzū ho chuke the
jab siyah shab ne
gulābī sub.h ke ġharqāb hone kī ḳhabar par
ham se faurī tabsira māñgā
hamāre hoñT
itne ḳhushk,
aur itne darīda the
ki ham ik lafz bhī kahte
to reza reza ho jaate
qalam hāthoñ meñ kyā lete
ki apne haath pahle hī qalam the
(kyā suḳhan kahte
kahāñ likhte, kise likhte)
so ahl-e-jāh ne
jo tabsira (jo qatl-nāma) sāmne rakkhā
ham ahl-e-sabr ne
ḳhūñ-rañg hoñToñ kī darīda mehr
us par sabt kar dī
hamari aankh mein nokile kanTe
aur badan mein
zahr ke neze taraazu ho chuke the
jab siyah shab ne
gulabi subh ke gharqab hone ki KHabar par
hum se fauri tabsira manga
hamare honT
itne KHushk,
aur itne darida the
ki hum ek lafz bhi kahte
to reza reza ho jate
qalam hathon mein kya lete
ki apne hath pahle hi qalam the
(kya suKHan kahte
kahan likhte, kise likhte)
so ahl-e-jah ne
jo tabsira (jo qatl-nama) samne rakkha
hum ahl-e-sabr ne
KHun-rang honTon ki darida mehr
us par sabt kar di
