Kahani gul-zamina ki

gul-zamina!
suno

toda-e-KHak par
apni konpal si ungli se

kya likh rahi ho?
gul-zamina ne sharbat bhari aankhen upar uThain aur kahne lagi

kuchh hi din qabl
ye toda-e-KHak hi mera school tha

main ne allah ka nam
ya-hafizo

us ki diwar par likh diya tha
mere kaghaz, qalam, aur kitaben

mere kumbe ke ham-rah sab miT chuke hain
main yahan roz aati hun

apni yaadon ke baste se
pichhle sabaq DhunDhti hun

safha-e-KHak par un ko likhti hun
aur lauT jati hun

meri qismat mein paDhna nahin hai
na ho!

mera aamoKHta
mera likhna to jari rahe
