sham ke surmai andhere mein
ek parinda udan bharta hai

chahta hai kisi ka sath mile
raat ki be-qarariyon ka azab

yaad kar ke wo kanp uthta hai
is liye sham ke dhundalke mein

ghonsle ko wo chhod deta hai
aur musalsal safar mein rahta hai

lekin us ka safar sada ki tarah
tishnagi ka azab sahta hai
