katata hun raat-bhar apne lahu ki dhaar ko
ye shor-o-shar to pahle din se aadam-zad mein hai
wo saneha hua tha ki bas dil dahal gae!
be-sabaat subh sham aur mera wajud
hamare shahr mein aane ki surat chahti hain
nadi kinare baiThe rahna achchha hai
in labon se ab hamare lafz ruKHsat chahte hain
kuchh gunah nahin isMein etiraf hi kar lo
peDon ki ghani chhanw aur chait ki hiddat thi
humne sare harf likhe to kis ke liye
