raat ki khuli khidki
band hone wali hai

chand ke katore mein
os bharne wali hai

ye ajab safar is ka
ab tamam hota hai

la-zawal hone ka
dekho kya bahana hai

kal bhi ek haqiqat tha
aaj bhi fasana hai

aasman ki jaanib
sab ke hath uthte hain

us ke khun ki surkhi
barg-o-bar laegi

be-namaz bandon par
yani un darindon par

har qadam masaib ka
intizar laega
