raat dekha tha bhagta jangal
ek wahshat mein hanpta jangal

ek shikari ne fakhta mari
dard mare tha kanpta jangal

mujh ko apna hi khauf hai sahab
mere andar hai jagta jangal

barishon mein dhamal padti hai
bund pi kar hai nachta jangal

kis ne boe hain sahn mein kante
kaun ghar ghar hai bantta jangal

raat basti mein phir utarti hai
pahle us ko hai palta jangal

ab darinde hain shahar mein phirte
kash 'babar' na katta jangal
