rang-e-duniya kitna gahra ho gaya
aadmi ka rang phika ho gaya

raat kya hoti hai hum se puchhiye
aap to soe sawera ho gaya

dubne ki zid pe kashti aa gai
bas yahin majbur dariya ho gaya

aaj khud ko bechne nikle the hum
aaj hi bazar manda ho gaya

gham andhere ka nahin 'danish' magar
waqt se pahle andhera ho gaya
