shafaq ke phul thaali mein sajae sanwli aai
charaghon se lawen khinchin darichon mein nami aai

mein samjha us se milne ki ghadi aai
hawa jarub-kash thi aasman-asar tinkon ki

jise apni suhulat ke liye duniya ye tan-asan duniya ek murawwat mein
hujum-e-khalq kahti hai

meri aankhen tahi gul-dan ki surat munderon par
gali se uthne wali gard ko titli batati hain

ye manzar munjamid ho kar safar aaghaz karta hai
lahu ki barq-raftari tanaben khench leti hai

ye kaisi sham-e-shahzadi
shafaq ke phul thaali mein sajae zina-e-shab se utar aai

mein samjha us se milne ki ghadi aai
salakhon se lahu phuta lahu mein raushni aai
