zard sae jo sar-e-sahra uthe the
raqs karte dandanate jhumte

shahr ke diwar-o-dar ko chatte
baad-o-baran se lipatte

chandni raaton ki unnabi surangon mein sarakte
dhup ki sadkon pe lahraate machalte

tahniyon ke darmiyan sargoshiyan karte
mahal ki sidhiyon tak aa gae hain

aao dekhen
dast-e-afi mein koi mantar bacha hai

ya nahin
