raat-kudee ne daavat dee
sitaaron ke chaaval phatakakar
yah deg kisane chadha dee
chaand kee suraahee kaun laaya
chaandanee kee sharaab peekar
aakaash kee aankhen gahara gaeen
dharatee ka dil dhadak raha hai
suna hai aaj tahaniyon ke ghar
phool mehamaan hue hain
aage kya likha hai
aaj in taqadeeron se
kaun poochhane jaega
umr ke kaagaz par
tere ishq ne angootha lagaaya,
hisaab kaun chukaega!
qismat ne ek nagama likha hai
kahate hain koee aaj raat
vahee nagama gaega
kalpavrksh kee chhaanv mein baithakar
kaamadhenu ke chhalake doodh se
kisane aaj tak dohanee bharee!
hava kee aahen kaun sune,
chaloon, aaj mujhe
taqadeer bulaane aayee hai…
