tamam khel-tamashon ke darmiyan wahi

koshish hai gar uski ki pareshan karega

wo shab-e-gham jo kam andheri thi

dil ki dhaDkan ab rag-e-jaan ke bahut nazdik hai

KHud apni chaal se na-ashna rahe hai koi

narm aawazon ke bich

maut ka intizar safed chaak se

sham ka raqs

ab raat aa rahi hai

khokhle bartan ke honT

tumhaare dard se jage to unki qadr khuli

tum mere kamre ke andar jhankne aae ho kyun

hawaen shahr ki aaluda-e-kasafat hain

nami utar gai dharti mein tah-ba-tah aslam

unhen ye fikr ki dil ko kahan chhupa rakkhen
