vo abnormal nahin tha
sirf us ko normal banne ki hasrat thi
kai ḳhanon men us ki zindagi baTne lagi thi
vo apni koshish-e-na-mo’tabar se tang aa kar
nim-jan ho kar
ek ḳhane men panah lene laga tha
bani amat-gah-e-tir-e-nafrat shaḳhsiyat us ki
use bhi ḳhud se nafrat ho chuki thi
magar is nafrat-e-manus ki takrar se us ne
durusht o na-muvafiq zindagi se sulh kar li thi
yahi tha kisa-e-aḳhlaq us ka
gharibi ne sharafat chhin li thi
aur us ki shaḳhsiyat ke pairahan men
guhar-baron ke badle sang-reze jaḌ diye the
vo abnormal nahin tha
magar ab us men ḳhud ko normal karne ka yaara bhi nahin tha
use ab ye gavara bhi nahin tha
gali-kuchon ki saari gandagi ka
tirgi ka
vo ab haqdar varis ban chuka tha
