paigham-e-shabab aa raha hai
shakhon pe gulab aa raha hai

jazbe ka parinda kyun na tadpe
rahon mein sarab aa raha hai

hoshyar rahe khirad ki mahfil
ek khana-kharab aa raha hai

sarshaar hain waqt ke katore
jam-e-mai-e-nab aa raha hai

is tarah shafaq ko nind aai
ehsas ko khwab aa raha hai

insan hai be-haya kuchh aisa
haiwan ko hijab aa raha hai

taron ki nigah kyun na chamke
chehre pe naqab aa raha hai

kora hai ye hashiya khudi ka
hasti ka wo bab aa raha hai

ungli mein ubhar rahi hai sozish
hathon mein rubab aa raha hai

puchha jo sawal aasman se
dharti se jawab aa raha hai

ghulta hai dimagh ai 'karamat'
sar par jo azab aa raha hai
