tirgi se raushni ka ho gaya
main mukammal shaeri ka ho gaya

der tak bhatka main us ke shahr mein
aur phir us ki gali ka ho gaya

so gaya aankhon tale rakh ke unhen
aur khat ka rang phika ho gaya

ek bosa hi diya tha raat ne
chand tu to raat hi ka ho gaya

raat bhar ladta raha lahron ke sath
subh tak 'kanha' nadi ka ho gaya
