makaan sheeshe ka

banvaate ho 'aazar'

bahut aayenge patthar

dekh lena

you made your house

with glass, 'aazar'

just watch...

many stones will come at it

subh le jaate hain hum

apna janaaza ghar se

shaam ko phir

use kaandhon pe uTha laate hain

in the morning, i take my

funeral procession out from my home

only to bring it back

on my shoulders each evening
