Raat

So jao meethi neend mein, tere sone ki raat hai
Mujhko chhodo meri raatein, sheron ki shuruat hai.

Meri raatein sadko pe chalte-chalte kat ti hain
Meri raatein andhiyaron se baaten karte kat ti hain.

Tum to kaale saaye ki chaadar se darr jaate ho
Saanjh ke dhalte hi aatank se sihar jaate ho.

Sannaton ke saath tum kahan tak ja paoge
Apne hi jism ke larajne se darr jaaoge.

Raat ke husn ko tumne aanka hai kabhi
Rumani andheron ke pare jhanka hai kabhi.

Raat ke bikhre roop ko anjooli mein sameto
Andheron me nange paon sadko pe chalke dekho.

Kudrat ki nazaron ki hoti barsaat hai
Chand taaron ki angan mein neet nayee baraat hai.

Mujhko chhodo meri raatein, sheron ki shuruat hai
So jao meethi neend mein, tere sone ki raat hai.
