raat piya, pichhavaare
paharoo thanaka kiya.
kanp-kanp kar jala diya
bujh-bujh kar yah jiya
mera ang-ang jaise
pachhue ne chhoo diya
badee raat gae kaheen
panduk pihaka kiya.
aankhadiyaan pagalee kee
neend huee chor kee
palakon tak aa-aakar
baadh rukee lor kee
rah-rahakar khidakee ka
palla udhaka kiya.
patharae taaron kee jot
dabadaba gaee
man kee anakahee sabhee
aankhon mein chha gaee
suna kya na tumane,
yah dil jo dhadaka kiya.
