ye kaisi raat hai jo chhupchap hai
kaisi ye hai jo gumnaam hai
man mein chhupaye kayi aadse
thahri si raat hai jo badnam hai
gamgast waqt bhi sahma sa hai
sannate dastak dete sareaam hai
baadlo ki chadar lipete dara chand hai
khauf ki ye raat hai jo badanam hai

sawere ko jakde huye
andhere se bare ye nishachar
dahshat ki nayi kahani hai
laal surkh aankho se
jindgi ko takti hai
kaali kaali raat fir se aayi hai
aawaj karte ye darwaje
kahi sukhe ped hai darte

jaise hi sham dhalti hai
sannate satane aa jate hai
is raat ka jo khuni anjaam hai
ye kaisi raat hai jo chhupchap hai
kaisi ye hai jo gumnaam hai
man mein chhupaye kayi aadse
thahri si raat hai jo badnam hai
