Baaten Pagal Ho Jati Hain

meri band gali ke sare ghar

kitne ajib se lagte hain

mehrabi darwaze

jaise melancholia ki bimari mein

dhire dhire marte shaKHs ki

kich-bhari aankhen hun

aage baDhi hui balconiyan

jaise ahmaq aur hawannaq logon ki

laTki hui thoDiyan hoti hain

ek duje mein uljhe

baiThak aangan sone wale kamre

aur rasoiyan

sara yun lagta hai

jaise ek pagal ki gunjal sochen hon

un ke andar rahne wale

jaise

main bhi kya pagal hun

kya kya sochta rahta hun
