itne bedar zamane men ye sazish-bhari raat
meri tarikh ke siine pe utar aai thi
apni sanginon men is raat ki saffak sipah
duudh piite hue bachchon ko piro laai thi
ghar ke angan men ravan khuun tha ghar valon ka
aur har khet pe shoalon ki ghata chhai thi
raste band the lashon se pati galiyon men
bhiid si bhiid thi tanhai si tanhai thi
