aap kyun chhedte hain dipak rag
shahar mein lag rahi hai khud hi aag

uth raha hai harim-e-dil se dhuan
lut raha hai suhaganon ka suhag

shoala-saman hui hai tariki
kaise jage hain raushni ke bhag

jaane kis kis hawas ko denge janam
botalon ke uda chuke jo kag

lag mein thi kabhi lagaw ki shan
ab labon mein lagaw ki hai lag

kaf-e-dariya ka dekhiye anjam
be-sabab laiye na munh jhag

jate lamhe duhai dete hain
nae atwar ke tariq pe jag

muskuraata hai khet sarson ka
todti hain jo ganw waliyan sag

sarkandon mein hai kenchuli atki
kahin lahra ke chhup gaya hai nag

chand par jo kamand dalte hain
mujh se kahte hain zindagi bhi tyag
