tirgi badh rahi hai bahar ki
raat bhi be-charagh hai ghar ki
abginon ki tarah tuut gai
jab imarat banai patthar ki
shaam palken bichhae baithi hai
ab thakan bhuul jaao din bhar ki
zindagi manzilon ko thukra kar
thokaren kha rahi hai dar-dar ki
sirf jazbon ko sard karna tha
zindagi ho to jaati patthar ki
