kala jadu phail raha hai
aur khuda khamosh khada hai

kale sae nach rahe hain
chaar taraf pur-shor hawa hai

aag dikha kar jalne walo
kis ki aag mein kaun jala hai

sans bhi tum lete ho kyun-kar
uff kitni masmum hawa hai

lakhon bheden daud rahi hain
ek gadariya hank raha hai

raqs-kunan hun ek rassi par
aur tawazun bigad raha hai

main raste ko dhund raha hun
rasta mujh ko dhund raha hai

kaun hai ye betab jo kab se
raste mein chup-chap khada hai
