utho ki waqt khatm ho gaya
tamash-binon mein tum aakhiri hi rah gae ho

ab chalo
yahan se aasman tak tamam shahr chadaren lapet li gain

zamin sang-reza sakht
dant si safed malgaji dikhai de rahi hai har taraf

tumhein jahan guman-e-sabza tha
wo jhalak rahi hai kohna kaghazon ki barf

wo jo chale gae unhen to ikhtitamiye ke sab siyah manzaron ka ilm tha
wo pahle aae the isi liye wo aqalmand the tumhein

to subh ka pata na sham ki khabar tumhein to
itna bhi pata nahin ki khel khatm ho to us ko sham

kahte hain ai nanhe shaiqan-e-raqs
ab gharon ko jao
