kali raat ke sahraon mein nur-sipara likkha tha
jo hum pe guzre the ranj sare jo KHud pe guzre to log samjhe
shabnam hai ki dhoka hai ki jharna hai ki tum ho
jo dikh raha usi ke andar jo an-dikha hai wo shairi hai
sab ne mana marne wala dahshat-gard aur qatil tha
kuchal kuchal ke na foot-path ko chalo itna
jo dikh raha usi ke andar jo an-dikha hai wo shaeri hai
wo jin daraKHton ki chhanw mein se musafiron ko uTha diya tha
main hun bhi to lagta hai ki jaise main nahin hun
