din ko bhi itna andhera hai mere kamre mein

din ko bhi itna andhera hai mire kamre men saaya aate hue darta hai mire kamre men ghham thaka-hara musafir hai chala jaega kuchh dinon ke liye thahra hai mire kamre men subh tak dekhna afsana bana dalega tujh ko ik shakhs ne dekha hai mire kamre men dar-ba-dar din ko bhatakta hai tasavvur mera haan magar raat ko rahta hai mire kamre men chor baitha hai kahan soch raha huun main 'zafar' kya koi aur bhi kamra hai mire kamre men din ko bhi itna andhera hai mere kamre mein saya aate hue darta hai mere kamre mein gham thaka-haara musafir hai chala jaega kuchh dinon ke liye thahra hai mere kamre mein subh tak dekhna afsana bana dalega tujh ko ek shakhs ne dekha hai mere kamre mein dar-ba-dar din ko bhatakta hai tasawwur mera han magar raat ko rahta hai mere kamre mein chor baitha hai kahan soch raha hun main 'zafar' kya koi aur bhi kamra hai mere kamre mein
