andhere band kamron mein pade the
ujale sair par nikle hue the

gharon mein khansti tanhaiyan thin
ye sannate purani nasl ke the

hawas ki bastiyan aatish-zada thin
bade kadwe-kisile waqiye the

sadaen jhinguron ki badh rahi thin
andhere sidhiyan chadhne lage the

suhagan the meri basti ke mausam
khanakti chudiyan pahne hue the

dhuan pani bagule dhup tufan
ye ajza to hamare jism ke the

andheri raat ke sada waraq par
kharabe dastan likhne lage the

bhatakne ke liye jab 'rind' nikle
kahan jaana hai raste puchhte the
