kis ne aa kar hum ko di aawaz pichhli raat mein
kaun hum ko chhedne aaya hai in lamhat mein

hum mile the mal par kal jis lachakti dal se
kanch ki thin chudiyan us mah-jabin ke hat mein

ruh-parwar kaifiyat mausam ki thi phir us ka sath
yar samjhe hum ne daru pi hai is barsat mein

sabz pedon ki sunen ya un se phir apni kahen
der tak uljhe rahe kal hum usi ek baat mein

tez chalti thi hawa aur dolte the ped bhi
guftugu un se hui thi ek andheri raat mein

mabadon ki ghantiyan kal eka-eki baj uthin
jaane kis ne un ko chheda pur-sukun haalat mein

pyar ki rut is tarah aai ki sab hairan the
ek hum hi to na be-qabu hue jazbaat mein
