jag ke mere sath samundar raaten karta hai
jab sab log chale jaen to baaten karta hai

sham ko der se pahunchun to lagta hai khafa mujh se
mujh se bahut barham ho aisi ghaten karta hai

mere siwa shayad us ka bhi koi dost nahin
meri apni jaane kya kya baaten karta hai

dil gham se bojhal ho to dekho phir chheden us ki
chhinte munh pe mar ke kya barsaten karta hai

aur bhi gahri ho jati hai us ki sargoshi
mujh se kisi ki aankhon ki jab baaten karta hai

mujh ko motiyon se kya lena 'zeb' samundar bhi
jaane kya mere ashkon ki saughaten karta hai
