Nazm

curfew-zada shahr ki
bewa saDken

aankhen kholti hain
nagar ke garbh mein

kya dekhti hain nahin malum
hairat-zada hain

dharti shayad
garbh dhaaran

kar rahi hai
chand chhup kar

khiDkiyon se jhankta hai
aawara kutte

Toliyon mein bhunkte hain
zindagi

barahna so rahi hai
main

raat si kaT rahi hun
puri wadi mein

curfew nafiz hai
