Dew-malayen sachchi hoti hain

ghaDi do ghaDi ki masarrat
ye sadiyon pe phaila hua dew-qissa hamare lahu mein rawan hai

kisi ghonsle mein se anDe churaata hua surma
ek chite se gur sikhta koi bachcha

kaman khinchta aur mada ko nawak se niche giraata hua
aag daryaft karta hua koi laDka

ajab suraten hain
shab-e-dastan-goi sadiyon pe phaili hui hai

hawa margh-zaron ki yaKH-bastagi mein nahin rah saki
so yahan aa gai hai ki apna badan garm kar le

ye aag ab jibillat ki tartib ka lazima hai
bahimana KHaslat ko taskin deta hua ek unsur

hawa dew-malaon ke daur ki ek buDhiya hai
jis ko har ek dastan yaad hai

ye ghaDi do ghaDi ki masarrat
jise dastan-go ki baaton se hum ne kiya hai kashid

ek din aaega jab hawa apne qisse mein wo suraten laegi
jin ka aaina hum hain

shab-e-dastan-goi mein hum jo mabhut o hairan baiThe hue
dastan sun rahe hain

kabhi ek ThiThuri hui raat mein hum kahani ka markaz banenge
jo bachche adam hain

hamein dastan mein ghira dekh kar khilkhilaenge
mabhut-o-hairan honge
