Ye Tanha Raat Ye Gahri Fazaa'en

Ye tanha raat ye gahri fazaa'en,
Use dhundhen ke us ko bhool jaa'en,

Khayalon ki ghani khamoshiyon mein,
Ghuli jaati hain lafzon ki sada'en,

Ye raste rahrawo'n se bhaagte hain,
Yahaan chhup chhup ke chalti hain hawa'en,

Ye paani khamoshi se bah raha hai,
Ise dekhein ke is mein doob jaa'en,

Jo ghum jalte hain sheyro'n ki chita mein,
Unhein phir apne seene se laga'en,

Chalo aisa makaa'n aabaad kar lein,
Jahaan logo'n ki aawazein na aa'en..!!
