dil se ek aag ki diwar ubharti jae
zina zina shab-e-tanhai utarti jae

tum se milne ka jo barson mein kabhi aae khayal
har taraf faslon ki ret bikharti jae

waqt ki chaal ko hum ro ke rahen kamre mein
aur idhar raat andha dhund guzarti jae

tapta sahra hai har ek shahr aur ummid-e-sukun
ek badli hai jo upar se guzarti jae

main to auqat ke phailao mein badhta jaun
aur jo ek shai mere andar hai wo marti jae

jaane kya bhut chhupe baithe hain is aangan mein
raat jae to wahan kanpti darti jae

wo nazar phul khilati chale pahlu pahlu
ban ke kanta sa dilon mein bhi utarti jae
