raat andar utar ke dekha hai
kitna hairan-kun tamasha hai

ek lamhe ko sochne wala
ek arse ke baad bola hai

mere bare mein jo suna tu ne
meri baaton ka ek hissa hai

shahr walon ko kya khabar ki koi
kaun se mausamon mein zinda hai

ja basi dur bhai ki aulad
ab wahi dusra qabila hai

bant lenge nae gharon wale
is haweli ka jo asasa hai

kyun na duniya mein apni ho wo magan
us ne kab aasman dekha hai

aakhiri tajziya yahi hai 'malal'
aadmi daeron mein rahta hai
