Makan

aaj ki raat bahut garm hawa chalti hai

aaj ki raat na footpath pe nind aaegi

sab uTho, main bhi uThun tum bhi uTho, tum bhi uTho

koi khiDki isi diwar mein khul jaegi

ye zamin tab bhi nigal lene pe aamada thi

panw jab TuTti shaKHon se utare hum ne

un makanon ko KHabar hai na makinon ko KHabar

un dinon ki jo guphaon mein guzare hum ne

hath Dhalte gae sanche mein to thakte kaise

naqsh ke baad nae naqsh nikhaare hum ne

ki ye diwar buland, aur buland, aur buland

baam o dar aur, zara aur sanware hum ne

aandhiyan toD liya karti thin shamon ki lawen

jaD diye is liye bijli ke sitare hum ne

ban gaya qasr to pahre pe koi baiTh gaya

so rahe KHak pe hum shorish-e-tamir liye

apni nas nas mein liye mehnat-e-paiham ki thakan

band aankhon mein usi qasr ki taswir liye

din pighalta hai usi tarah saron par ab tak

raat aankhon mein khaTakti hai siyah tir liye

aaj ki raat bahut garm hawa chalti hai

aaj ki raat na footpath pe nind aaegi

sab uTho, main bhi uThun tum bhi uTho, tum bhi uTho

koi khiDki isi diwar mein khul jaegi
