sunaun tumhein baat ek raat ki
ki wo raat andheri thi barsat ki

chamakne se jugnu ke tha ek saman
hawa par udin jaise chingariyan

padi ek bachche ki un pe nazar
pakad hi liya ek ko daud kar

chamakdar kida jo bhaya use
to topi mein jhat-pat chhupaya use

wo jham jham chamakta idhar se udhar
phira koi rasta na paya magar

to ghamgin qaidi ne ki iltija
jugnu

ai chhote shikari mujhe kar riha
khuda ke liye tu mujhe chhod de

meri qaid ke jal ko tod de
bachcha

karunga na aazad us waqt tak
ki main dekh lun din mein teri chamak

jugnu
chamak meri din mein na dekhoge tum

ujale mein ho jaegi wo to gum
bachcha

are chhote kide na de dam mujhe
ki hai waqafiyyat abhi kam tujhe

ujale mein din ke khulega kamal
ki itne se kide mein kya hai kamal

dhuan hai na shoala na garmi na aanch
chamakne ki tere karunga main jaanch

jugnu
ye qudrat ki karigari hai janab

ki zarra ko chamkae jun aaftab
mujhe di hai is waste ye chamak

ki tum dekh kar mujh ko jao thithak
na alhad-pane se karo paemal

sanbhal kar chalo aadmi ki si chaal
