kamre mein khamoshi hai aur bahar raat bahut kali hai
unche unche pedon par siyahi ne chhawni dali hai

tez hawa kahti hai pal mein barkha aane wali hai
wo sola-singar kiye apni hi soch mein khoi hui hai

sanson mein wo gahra pan hai jaise be-sudh soi hui hai
dil mein sau arman hain lekin meri samt nigah nahin hai

yun baithi hai jaise us ke dil mein kisi ki chah nahin hai
