diwaron ke pichhe
phir kal raat
merī āñkheñ be-ḳhvāb rahīñ
kamre kī sākit dīvāroñ ke us paar
vahī garajtā vahshī lahja
ghuTī ghuTī siskī ko
kitnī be-rahmī se noch rahā thā
Dūbtī raat ke sannāTe meñ
us kī madad ko kise pukārūñ
kaun aa.egā
koī muhāfiz aayā bhī to
dīvāroñ ke andar ke qānūn ke aage
ḳhud ko aajiz batlā.egā
aksar aisā hī hotā thā
aksar bhor samay tak vo yūñhī rotī thī
lekin aaj achānak kyoñ ḳhāmosh huī
ḳhauf kī ThanDak
merī ruuh talak dhañs aa.ī
sub.h savere
maiñ ne dekhā
us ke darvāze ke aage
kuchh qānūn ke rakhvāle
ik ambulance ke paas khaḌe the
amn kī ḳhātir
ab un qātil hāthoñ meñ
zanjīr paḌī thī
mayyat ambulance meñ dharī thī
phir kal raat
meri aankhen be-KHwab rahin
kamre ki sakit diwaron ke us par
wahi garajta wahshi lahja
ghuTi ghuTi siski ko
kitni be-rahmi se noch raha tha
Dubti raat ke sannaTe mein
us ki madad ko kise pukarun
kaun aaega
koi muhafiz aaya bhi to
diwaron ke andar ke qanun ke aage
KHud ko aajiz batlaega
aksar aisa hi hota tha
aksar bhor samay tak wo yunhi roti thi
lekin aaj achanak kyon KHamosh hui
KHauf ki ThanDak
meri ruh talak dhans aai
subh sawere
main ne dekha
us ke darwaze ke aage
kuchh qanun ke rakhwale
ek ambulance ke pas khaDe the
amn ki KHatir
ab un qatil hathon mein
zanjir paDi thi
mayyat ambulance mein dhari thi
