chand aangan mein jab utarta hai
zard patton mein rang bharta hai

kaun rukta hai umr bhar ke liye
aks pani mein kab thaharta hai

koi kaise kahin pe ruk jae
waqt har haal mein guzarta hai

husn-e-be-khud ko dekhne ke liye
aaina der tak sanwarta hai

husn-e-be-kal ki ru-numai tak
koi jita hai koi marta hai

apne jaison mein mo'atabar ho kar
aadmi aadmi se darta hai
