itne bedar zamane mein ye sazish bhari raat
meri tarikh ke sine pe utar aai thi

apni sanginon mein is raat ki saffak sipah
dudh pite hue bachchon ko piro lai thi

ghar ke aangan mein rawan khun tha ghar walon ka
aur har khet pe shoalon ki ghata chhai thi

raste band the lashon se pati galiyon mein
bhid si bhid thi tanhai si tanhai thi
