nind aankhon mein jo aati to jagane lagte
khwab bachchon ki tarah shor machane lagte

raat ko ghar nahin aata to mere ghar wale
subh ke waqt meri khair manane lagte

tere aa jaane se phir aa gai zakhmon pe bahaar
tu nahin aata to sab zakhm purane lagte

wo hamein dhundh ke ek raat mein ghar le aaya
hum use dhundne jate to zamane lagte

qais jangal ko agar chhod ke aa jata 'rais'
to mere shahr ke ladke bhi satane lagte
