Tamasha

raat jagmagati hai
bhiD shor hangame

zarq-barq pahnawe
surKH sim-gun dhani

raushni ke fawware
mard aurten bachche

aaDi-tirchhi saf bandhe
ek KHatt-e-nurin ke

nuqta-e-umudi ko
sar uThae takte hain

luka jag uThta hai
ek laT girti hai

mard aurten bachche
taliyan bachate hain

sirf ek hi aurat
chiKH rok leti hai

sirf ek hi bachcha
tilmila ke rota hai
