aaj kii raat bahut garm hawaa chalatii hai
aaj kii raat na phuTapaath pe nii.nd aayegii
sab uTho, mai.n bhii uThuu.N, tum bhii uTho, tum bhii uTho
ko_ii khi.Dakii isii diiwaar me.n khul jaayegii

ye zamii.n tab bhii nigal lene pe aamaadaa thii
paa.Nv jab TuuTatii shaaKo.n se utaare hamane
in mashiino.n ko Kabar hai na makaano.n ko Kabar
un dino.n kii jo gufaa_o.n me.n guzaare hamane

sirf Kaakaa thaa jo sach puuchho to Kaakaa bhii na thaa
jisake ye kasad ye aiwaan utaare hamane
haath Dhalate gaye saa.Ncho.n me.n to thakate kaise
naKsh ke baad naye naKsh nikhaare hamane

kii ye diiwaar baland aur baland aur baland
baam-o-dar aur zaraa aur sa.Nwaare hamane
( aa.Ndhiyaa.N to.D liyaa karatii thii.n shama_o.n kii lave.n
ja.D diye isaliye bijalii ke sitaare hamane ) -2

ban gayaa kasar to pahare pe ko_ii baiTh gayaa -2
so rahe Kaak pe ham chorii kii taamiir liye
apanii nas nas me.n liye mehanat-e-paiham kii chhan
band aa.Nkho.n me.n isii kasar kii tasviir liye

are din pighalataa hai usii tarah saro.n par ab tak
raat aa.Nkho.n me.n khaTakatii hai siyaah tiir liye

aaj kii raat bahut garm hawaa chalatii hai
aaj kii raat na phuTapaath pe nii.nd aayegii
sab uTho, mai.n bhii uThuu.N, tum bhii uTho, tum bhii uTho
ko_ii khi.Dakii isii diiwaar me.n khul jaayegii
