chalo aaj ek aur koshish hogi
phir ek sham dub jaegi sharab mein

zindagi ke andhere sard tukde
jam mein ghul kar honthon ke hawale honge

zaban pe thirakti tishnagi dhire dhire
halq tak phail jaegi

khamoshi ka libas pahne
kone mein qaid tanhai riha hogi

aur nas nas mein daud kar raqs karegi
mere lahu mein bah rahe us be-qabu shakhs ko

sambhaalne ki mashaqqat hogi
sulagti ruh us ki yaadon ki bhap mein

tap kar surkh lal ho jaegi
aankhon se garm bulbule tapakne lagenge

jam-dar-jam andaruni ubaal
pighalta jaega

jab aankhon ke paimane bilkul khali ho jaenge
tab us lal bistar par

meri ninden tumhaare khwabon ko
aaghosh mein le kar so jaegi
