Raat Har Baar Liye Khauf Ke Khaali Paikar

Raat har baar liye...
Khauf ke khaali paikar,

Khoon mera maangne,
Be-khauf chali aati hai,

Aur jalti hui aankhon ke
Tahayyur ke tale,

Ek sannata,
Bahut shor kiya karta hai,

Kuchh to kat ta hai,
Tadapta hai,
Bahaata hai lahu,

Aur khul jaate hain,
Resho'n ke purane bakhiye,

Raat har baar meri
Jaagti palkein chun kar,

Andhe gumnaam dareechon pe,
Saja jaati hai,

Aur dhundlaye hue
Gard-zada raaston mein,

Ek aahat ka sira hai,
Jo nahin milta hai,

Aasman geeli chattano'n pe
Tikaaye chehra,

Siskiyaan leta hai,
Sahme hue bachche ki tarah,

Aur dareechon pe dhari
Kaanpti palkein meri,

Gul-zameenon ke naye
Khwab buna karti hain.!!
