paper-weight
Thos shīshe kā banā huā hai
jis ke andar
phuul haiñ
jaise samundar kī tah meñ
khilte haiñ
aaTh jal-pariyāñ haiñ
jo raqs kar rahī haiñ
paper-weight
is liye hai ki
kāġhaz ko havā kī zad se mahfūz rakhe
paper-weight
ek sayyāra hai
jis meñ log rahte baste haiñ
lekin paper-weight in sab bātoñ se be-ḳhabar hai
use to sirf
shā.erī kī aañkh ne zindagī dī
aur maar diyā
paper-weight
Thos shishe ka bana hua hai
jis ke andar
phul hain
jaise samundar ki tah mein
khilte hain
aaTh jal-pariyan hain
jo raqs kar rahi hain
paper-weight
is liye hai ki
kaghaz ko hawa ki zad se mahfuz rakhe
paper-weight
ek sayyara hai
jis mein log rahte baste hain
lekin paper-weight in sab baaton se be-KHabar hai
use to sirf
shaeri ki aankh ne zindagi di
aur mar diya
