Sab log so rahe , kaan sun ho rakhe hai

Khusfus karti raat, ankhein ekaek khul gayi

Teen baje khauf, ashanti ko mastiskh mein jaga dede

Ekaant mein dhadhak, todne chale shabdanand aeke

Banta jab khud ka dimaag dushman gambhir

Karan bhi, Arjun bhi tu, dhanudharo ke takrate teer

Is ghabrahat ko cheer, rukti yeh gehri saas

Shanti hoti samapat, khich ke gaala khaas

Ahaas aisa jo dikhlaade khaauf do palak jhapak

Do shan mein lagne lage, saamne khadi maut, jaan hai halak tak

Kheech hawa, kas ke chaati daba, dhund dawa

Koi aur nahi, kewal tu aur woh, maang dua

Dhua jaise lag raha, saas hi saas mein atak raha

Cheekhega kaise, gala toh tang dhang se ghut raha

Pal pal mein kaise ek ek saas, shan se chut raha

Sapno se ukhaad, sachai se vaasta toot raha

Raato ka kalapan, tanaav ka parikshan

Mazbooti jaise kabaad mein, tod de kathin tan

Bhatakte vichaar, bavishye ke dar ka prachaar

Tareeke shanti ke, kam dikhte yeh asaar

Gheri soch ki yeh khaai, lautne ka koi jariya nahi

Dheere dheere samarpan, khel koi visfotak nahi

Uth khada aadhi raat ko, havi yeh harkat

Ulja de avdharanaye, atman se brahman tak

Kat kat ke need reh jaye, jhapkiyo ka ek karawan

Intezaar mein, chal raha ghanta yeh baarwaa

Parantu ankh thakti nahi, hawa gale se behti nahi

Shor ke beech , bachne ki umeed girti nahi

Sone ka avsar, dabaav ne pakda kaskar

Teen baje, bachke bistar ne nikla bachkar

Raaste ka ant , ghadi ka kata chal raha

Raat ke us paar intezaar subah ka ho raha
