dasht ki be-payan wusat mein
kohsaron ke daman mein

zarra
apne hone aur na hone ka dukh jhel raha tha

zarra jo khud apne wajud mein
ek mukammal duniya hai

jis ke batn mein
sara nizam-e-shams-o-qamar poshida hai

jis ki wahdat ke sine mein
nazar na aane wali kasrat ka jalwa hai

ahl-e-nazar ne pichhli sadi mein
is pamal zamir ke andar

is be-nam wajud mein muzmar
us taqat ki gawahi di hai

jo is ke bedar khamir mein
sadiyon tak khwabida rahi hai

ahl-e-hunar ahl-e-hikmat ne
jab is khufta quwwat ka idrak kiya

zarre ka dil chaak kiya
sadiyon ki sahmi hui

na-asuda mahrumi ko be-bak kiya
isi tawanai ki badaulat

isi haqir se be-tauqir se
khakistar zarre ne

ek din
hiroshima ko khak kiya
