subhen kirnen tha main, phir bhi shamen phir bhi raat
ik parda, phir farda hai aur phir aage ki baat
sochen taare nochen aur ja pahunchen kitni duur
dil hai gahra ik ja thahra khoje apni zaat
ik chadar lafzon ki bun kar chhup chhup baithun ot
par ankhen apni hanken aur khulti jaae baat
ghaten us ki saari baten ghaten us ke taur
ghaat hai ulfat, ghaat hai nafrat aur nainan hain ghaat
anchal chhodun badal odhun pichhe pichhe chand
ankhen kholun, laakh tatolun kuchh nahin mere haat
ishq men pahle pal dil chanchal, duuja pal ik rog
tiije pal ye nainan jal-thal, chauthe pal sab maat
barkha ka qatra bhi dariya saare rut ke khel
bhadon ki chhajon barish bhi pal do pal ki baat
