Kia karon mein. Kaha jaon?
Ghar kis galli mei hai? Kaha se aaon?
Sabz tamasha be-saaz he
Khudaa shayad naraz he
Khudaa bulata he, bhool jaati hon
Gum jaati hon is shehr mein
Ghul jaati hon seher mein,
Phir ulatti paltti aa jaati hon
Sarhaane raat ke baatein karne
Khamosh bistar, bechain tamasha
Kuch nahi he hosh ke liye
Khwaab ke behte jism ka
Aadaab mujhe aate nahi
Aadaat thori kamzor hein
Khuda bulata he shayad, nahi shayad
Khudaa se keh do aati hon, aati hon
Galli galli kisi kaam se shayad
Ye haath phelae jaati hon
Abhi surkh raat humraaz he meri
Intazaar karo zara, aati hon
