tamam raat sadak par hamein bithaya gaya
jab ehtimam nahin tha to kyon bulaya gaya

bula rahi thi koi chhanw aisi ujlat mein
ki apna saya bhi hum se nahin uthaya gaya

tumhein to aag dikhai gai suhulat se
hamein charagh samajh kar dhuan dikhaya gaya

bahut dinon mein utarta hai zang andar ka
bahut dinon meri aankhon ko aazmaya gaya

nadi ne aakhiri kankar bhi kar diya mayus
bas ek sans bacha tha so khinch laya gaya
