siyah raat se hum raushni banate hain
purani baat ko aksar nai banate hain

kal ek bachche ne hum se kaha banao ghar
so hum ne kah diya thahro abhi banate hain

hum ek aur hi manzar ki tak mein hain miyan
ye dhup-chhanw ke naqshe sabhi banate hain

musawviran-e-fana apne canwas pe kabhi
na koi shahr na koi gali banate hain

hum us dayar mein zinda hain jis ke sare log
kabhi fatila kabhi lablabi banate hain
