ek ajab si surat-e-haalat hai
din bhi lagta hai ki jaise raat hai

kaun khushiyon ko chura kar le gaya
kaun gham ki de gaya saughat hai

khetiyon mein bhuk hai ugne lagi
is dafa kaisi hui barsat hai

log hain sahme hue haalat se
mil rahi barud ki saughat hai

koi bhi 'saghar' nahin shadan yahan
id kya hai aur kya shabraat hai
