Darkhwast hai is raat se

darkhwast hai is raat se,
khamosh kar de mere khayalon ko bhi,
ke chain nahi mila hai in ankhon ko kab se,
udhaar de de kuch neend inhe bhi,

ke ojhal ho jaaye uske khayal chupke se,
pata na chale mujhe bhi,
aur main fir ja milun zindagi se,
na jagaun is raat ko bhi...

Ke ab main...

ke ab main aatish ki tarah hun,
ke ab main dil me lagi jalan ki tarah hun,
ke ab main baarish ki tarah hun,
ke ab main dil pe lage marham ki tarah hun,

ke ab main ek aansu ki tarah hun,
ke ab main mazboot kaandhe ki tarah hun,
ke ab main mehkti sason ki tarah hun,
ke ab main sab hun par khud nahi hun...
