raat kee dastak daravaaze par hai
aaj kaa din bhee beet gayaa hai
kitanaa thaa ujaalaa phir bhee phir se
andhiyaaraa hee jeet gayaa hai
ekaant kee chaadar oḌh kar phir se
main khud men khoyaa jaataa hoo(n)
aa(n)khon ke saamane yaadon ke rath par
meraa hee ateet gayaa hai
sannaaTon ke gunjan men dabakar
apanee hee aavaaz naheen aatee mujhako
aa(n)khon kee sarahad par laḌataa
aa(n)soo bhee ab jeet gayaa hai
TooTe darpaN ke saamane baiThakar
main svayan ko khoj rahaa hoo(n)
yoo(n) hee baiThe baiThe jaane
kitanaa arasaa beet gayaa hai ... ..

sooraj ko, kachchee neend se

ghar sir par uThaayegaa.
aadat buree hai yah
