Kareeb aakar log badal jaate hai

Kareeb aakar log badal jaate hai
Baadal bina baras ke chale jaate hai
Is baat ka ehsaas use kab hoga Romil
Zindagi takleef deti hai, maut ke sang log guzar jate hai.

Unhe sitamgar kyon na kahu Romil
Jo aankhon se neendein cheen kar, khawab de jaate hai.

Aur

Jis naam ko raat bhar likh-likh ka choomati rahi aankhein tumhari
Subah hone tak woh naam haatheliyon se bigad jaate hai.

- Romil Lucknawi
