Raat ka sukoon

Ajeeb sa sukoon hai raat mein...

Aur fir ye bhi khoobi hai,

Har shaks masoom hota hai aankh lag jane ke baad,

Ye raunak bhari zindagi bhi,

raat ko andhiyaara dhoondti hai..

Shama ki lau bhi raat ke aagaz par

dheemi hojati hai...

Maano chaand aasman ko

pehra de raha ho..

Aur chandni, patton par baithi

shabnam ki boondo se guftagu kar rahi ho..

fir aadhi raat ko wo teri ek kameez

se aarahi kasturi khushboo...

maano meri jalti cigarette ka maza

kirkira kar jaati hai...
