Abhi picchle baras ki to baat hai,

sardiyon ki khamoshi thi aur main tanha tha….

Aur fir bahaar ayee, tum aye, log aye, mehfil lagi….

Raat-raat bhar thehhaake lagte rahe,

Chaand bhi nashe mein tha, chaandni bhi saroor mein thi

Dheere-dheere raat dhalti gayee,

Saroor uterane laga, chaand chhupne laga

Sooraj ne bhi kale chashme pehan liye

Paido’n se patte peele hoke girrne lage

Ankho se kuch rang uterane lage,

Garam saanse baraf bannene lagi,

Parinde gharo’n ko lautne lage

Aur aur main khamosh ho gya,

Yeh abh ki sardiyon ki baat hai, 

Aur main akela hoon fir se iss 'safar' mein.
