chhae hue hain chaar taraf para-ha-e-abr
aaghosh mein liye hue duniya-e-ab-o-rang

mere liye hai un ki garaj mein surud-o-chang
paigham-e-imbisat hai mujh ko sada-e-abr

utthi hai halke halke suron mein nawa-e-abr
aur qatr-ha-e-ab bajate hain jal-tarang

gahraiyon mein ruh ki jagi hai har umang
dil mein utar rahe hain mere naghm-ha-e-abr

muddat se lut chuke the tamanna ke bar-o-barg
chhaya hua tha ruh pe goya sukut-e-marg

chhoda hai aaj zist ko khwab-e-jumud ne
un baadalon se taza hui hai hayat phir

mere liye jawan hai ye kaenat phir
shadab kar diya hai dil un ke surud ne!
