ban gaye gunehgaar hum

sard hawa, kaatil fiza, 

aisa tha raat ki tannhai ka asar
bikhre hum aagosh mein unke, 

huye khud se bekhabar.

bayaan ki aankhon ne jo khaamosh chaahtein,
bekarar huyi chutne ko daayron se betaab nazar,

tan bheega, mann bheega,

machalte rahe armaan,
pighalte rahe jism madhosh,

dono na soye raat bhar.

guzre ek tufaan se.

ek dooje mein khud ko samete huye,
aur ban gaye gunehgaar hum,

shokh raat ka safar
