The Dark Night (Hindi)

 

Log to khushiyon k

 aanshu bahate hain,
aur hame dekho..
apni barbadiyo pe bhi

 ailaane jhasn karte hai.

  

Hame to intezar hai
is ghani raat ke khatam hone ki,
khoobsurat subah ki
pahli kiran ko dekhne ki;

Par kambakht subah hone se

pahle hi aankh lag jati hai,
aur khulti hai fir talash mein
raat k andheri galiyon ki.

Machis ki tiliyan..

 bujhh jati hain yaha,

mashal bhi to milti nhi.
