suraj chhupa to raat ke par phailte gae
phir yun hua ki tez hawaon ke dosh se

aandhi utar ke gile darakhton pe chha gai
kuchh shakhen tut kar jo darakhton se aa padin

ek sath fakhtaen kai chikh kar girin
kuchh ghonslon ko tez hawaen nigal gain

din-bhar nikal raha hai magar unghta hua
qatil siyah-rukhon ka lahu sunghta hua
