raat din chalta hai charcha kya kahen
dekhte hain sab tamasha kya kahen

sakht phanda hai hazaron sal ka
kis ne bin ganthon ke bandha kya kahen

jugnuon ka jhund man mein aa basa
hai ujala ya andhera kya kahen

lene dene se hue kitne wo khush
kha gae donon hi dhoka kya kahen

baadalon ke ped ug aae ghane
kab dhanak dalegi jhola kya kahen

bail kolhu mein hai kab se ghumta
kaisi manzil kaisa rasta kya kahen
