Aaj phir raat k sannate mein goonj raha hai shanti ka shor,
aaj phir aankhon se udi hui neend le jaa rahi kagaz aur kalam ki aur,
Aaj phir ghadi ki goonjti tick-tick waqt ko bhula jaati hai,
aaj phir khamoshi k saamne alfaazon ki bissat nahin tik paati hai,
Aaj phir likhne ki koshish jo main kar jaati hoon,
Raat k iss gehraate andhere mein nishabd, nihathha, nistabdh apne ko paati hoon…..
Aaj phir jo ye nidrabhav ka alam hai,
Jaag kar raat ke andheron mein rang dhoondhne ko tayyar ham hain…..
