Ta-Umar yaad rahegi duniya-e-zamane ki baat

Ta-Umar mujhe yaad rahegi duniya-e-zamane ki baat

Meri aansooyon ki raat

Meri tanhaiyon ki raat.

Bade behrahmi se tode mere khawabon ki baat

Woh saahil kinare toofano ki raat

Ujadi bastiyaan, woh aandhiyon ki raat.

Kisi taboot mein lapete woh anbhejhi chittiyon ki baat

Woh andheron mein jagati raat

Woh Chand ke saath jali raat.

- Romil Lucknawi
