Waqt ne aisi pheri ungliya gili ret par

har lahar ke sath mera Naksh badlata raha

Komal kabhi, kabhi malin kutil sa kahi

Kadam kadam par naya saya mujhe milta raha

Ek shikhar, ek kann hun ya thokaro ki dhul mein

Nit nayi pahchaan se hi man mera ladta raha

Saaf ukarin tasviron se mil raha sagar kuch yun

Aks mera hole hole maati main khota raha

Dhun main apni madmast tha kuch yu samaa

Chode bina nishaniya meri bas aage badta chala

Bas aage badta chala

Baadlo main jane kaise chup gayi thi chandani

Tare the jo raat bhar ye aasma damka rahe

Har lahar ke sang maano dubati ho roshani

Thik usi pal ek aur katra bulbule le aa rahe

Thodi jo gharayi raat ye bhi natkhat ho chala

Goud main soyi roshani se atkheli karta phire

Har machalati dhaar ko chooti hai kuch yu pawan

Thande pade saagar main ek chingaari sulgaati chale

Koi batalaye to zara poochkar isase mujhe

Kis nashe main raat bhar ye be-khouf lahlahati rahe

Shabnamo ki barisho se bhigta rahe daaman yunhi

Har lahar ki raagini bas kano main gungunati rahe

Atak jaye kahin palanko ke beach main hi ye samaa

Aankh khule jab bhi, in palon ki yaad mahakati rahe
