Girya-e-sagan

jab kutte raat ko rote hain

to aksar log samajhte hain

kuchh aisa hone wala hai

jo hum ne ab tak socha tha na hi samjha tha

jo hona tha wo kab ka lekin ho bhi chuka

ye shahr jala

is shahr mein raushan hanste baste ghar the kai

sab rakh hue

aur un ke makin

kuchh qatl hue

kuchh jaan bacha kar bhag gae

jo ba-ismat thin

ruswai ki KHak oDh ke rahguzar par baiThi hain

kuchh bewa hain

kuchh pa-basta rishton ki wahshat sahti hain

kuchh adh-nange bhuke bachche

din bhar aawara phirte hain

har jaanib mujrim hi mujrim

un mein se kuchh hain pesha-war

kuchh sikh rahe hain jurm ke fan ke raaz nae asrar nae

jo hona tha ye sach hai us mein se to bahut kuchh ho bhi chuka

lekin shayad kuchh aur bhi hone wala hai

kutte to aaKHir kutte hain

din bhar kachre ke Dheron par

wo mare mare phirte hain

jab raat utarne lagti hain

aane wale dushman-mausam ki dahshat se

sab mil kar rone lagte hain
