Jila-watan hone se pahle

is KHabar ke aane ke baad
main apne ghar ki khiDkiyan

band karti hun
bijli ke tar switch-off kar deti hun

freeze mein rakha khana
paDos mein de deti hun

bacha hua dudh gali ki billi ke aage
Dal deti hun

aur ek gilass ThanDa pani piti hun
tamam darwaze lock kar ke

saDak par nikal jati hun
dopahar se pahle

ya raat ke kisi pahar
sarkari gaDi mein

sarkari murda-KHane mein
mujhe baqi jila-watanon ke sath

phenk diya jaega
aur ek KHabar chhapegi

mulzima fulan-bint-e-fulan ke ghar
purane sanduq mein

purane kapDon ki tahon mein
bahut si nazmen

qabil-e-e'tiraaz haalat mein pai gain
