Jab raat ki tanhaai dil ban ke dhadakati hai
Yaadon ke dareeche mein chilaman si sarakati hai
Yoon pyaar nahi chhupata palakon ke jhukaane se
Aankhon ke lifaafon mein tahareer chamakati hai
Kush-rang parindon ke laut aane ke din aaye
Bichhade huye milate hain jab bark pighalati hai
Shoharat ki bulandi bhi pal bhar ka tamaasha hai
Jis daal pe baithe ho wo toot bhi sakati hai
