aasman rahaton ki jawan sej tha
raushni puchhti hai ki main

kaise andha hua
main to andha hi thahra magar

wo jo bina hain kyon
sat rangon ko bhi

ek hi jaante hain
raushni kal jahan dhup thi

aaj saya bani
kis ke pairon se chal kar

yahan tak chale aae tum
raat ke sath mujh ko nigalne ki khwahish

kitni mahngi padi hai
koi suraj tumhaare badan mein bhi palne laga hai

ye zamin
ek kanton-bhara taj kyon ban gai hai
