Raat ke Khaab sunaayeN kis ko raat ke Khaab suhaane the
DhuNdhle dhuNdhle chehre the par sab jaane pahchaane the

Ziddii vahshii alhaR chanchal miiThe log rasiile log
HoNT un ke GhazaloN ke misr’e aaNkhoN meN afsaane the

Ye laRkii to in galiyoN meN roz hii ghuumaa kartii thii
Is se un ko milnaa thaa to is ke laakh bahaane the

Ham ko saarii raat jagaayaa jalte bujhte taaroN ne
Ham kyuuN un ke dar pe utre kitne aur Thikaane the

Vahshat kii unvaan hamaarii in meN se jo naar banii
DekheNge to log kaheNge ‘Insha’ ji diiivaane the
