Raat

Badi lambi hai raat
Meri khid-ki se bas uske per dikhte hain
Aakhiri peher fere lagati
Imaan dake ser bik-te hain

Badi Bhookhi hai raat
Sab roshni meri kha gayee
Dur koson hai dariya
Mera joda paani baha gayee

Badi shatir hai raat
Lambi ferist gunaah ki
Khud se bhaagi huee
Sab sadti ruhoon ko isne panaah di

Badi muflis hai raat
Footpath par thand hai thodi sehar main
Kai marte hain roz
Jaan ki keemat hai kodi sehar main

Badi kaafir hai raat
Fir dal gayee dharam, zakhm k mavaad main
Gayee raat har majhab ka kam se kam ek banda mara
Raat ke us ghinone fadaad main
