Bilakh ke bola mujhe neend kyon nahin aati,
Rituein rangeen hai phir bhi nazar nahin aati
Hazaron ranginiyan bhari hui fizaon main,
Mere dil ko magar kabhi nazar nahin aati.
Utha ke dekha jo akhbaar din-b-din maine,
Koi khushal khabar bhee nazar nahin aati.
Sani lahu main har khabar to koi kya kariye
Kahin se methi-khabar kabhi nahin aati
Hai kahin shor dhamakon ka; kahin aansuon ki guhar;
Siyasatdaron ke ghar talak koi cheekh kaun nahin jaati.
Sharare khushiyon ke chamke bahut mere dil main,
Mere zehan ki gali us tarf nahin jaati.
Bilakh ke phir bola mujhe neend kyon nahin aati,
Use phir maine kaha yaar “ab to neend ko bhee neend nahi aati”
;)
