kal raat kahani pariyon ki
baji ne sunai chupke se

phir dhire dhire hawa chali
aur nindiya aai chupke se

halke the kahin gahre the kahin
rangon ki wo barish dekhi thi

thin jis mein bahut si taswiren
hum ne wo numaish dekhi thi

phir sab se chhupa ke hum ne bhi
taswir banai chupke se

fursat jo mili to hum yun hi
kuchh waqt bitane baithe the

garmi ke dinon mein dholak par
ek git sunane baithe the

maghrib ki taraf se itne mein
badli bhi ghir aai chupke se
