chae ki mez se lag kar main khada tha khamosh
wo samoson se bhari plate liye pas aai

aur pucha bahut aahista se
nak ki kil ko angrezi mein kya kahte hain

umr hogi koi chaubis baras
dhedh do sal ka beta tha bahut pyara sa

jo kabhi god mein hota to kabhi bhag ke
aangan mein chala jaata tha

nak mein baen taraf kil thi aaankhon mein chamak
aur chamak wo jo gunahon ko chhupa leti hai

kale baalon mein gundhi sham ki ranai thi
aisi ranai jo aadab bhula deti hai

zabt aur fahm ko na-waqt sula deti hai
khun mein soi hui aag jaga deti hai

dad dena to bahut daur ki baat
ek bhi nazm tawajjoh se nahi us ne suni

hum kahin aur rahe aur wo kahin aur rahi
nak ki kil ko angrezi mein kya kahte hain
