wahshat bhari raaton ko kinara nahin milta
dil dub chala subh ka tara nahin milta

milte hain bahut yun to jo aaghosh-kusha ho
dil ke liye wo dard ka dhaara nahin milta

is ahd ki taswir mein apna bhi lahu hai
dhunde se magar nam hamara nahin milta

qudrat ka karam ho to alag baat hai warna
mushkil mein to apnon ka sahaara nahin milta

sadiyan hain faqat ek hi lamhe ki kahani
lamha jise kho de wo dobara nahin milta
