raat se jang koi khel nain
tum charaghon mein itna tel nain

aa gaya hun to khinch apni taraf
meri jaanib mujhe dhakel nain

jab main chahunga chhod jaunga
ek sarae hai jism jail nain

bench dekhi hai khwab mein khali
aur patri par us pe rail nain

jis ko dekha tha kal darakht ke gird
wo hara azhdaha tha bel nain
