rang bujhne lage hain aankhon mein
buildingen jugnuon si lagti hain

chand tare kahan hain kya ma'lum
ladkiyan phul se badan wali

ek zara pas se guzarti hui
jo mera dard bant leti hain

so chuki hongi apni qabron mein
ab kahin zindagi ka nam nahin

bhuk ne panw bandh rakkhe hain
phir bhi chalne pe hun ba-zid ki abhi

chand lashen hain hasraton ki jinhen
subh se pahle dafn karna hai

bojh kuchh kam ho to kahin baithun
aur phir baithe-baithe so jaun

phir koi khwab dekhun kal ke liye
abhi ek roz aur jina hai
