dhali jo sham nazar se utar gaya suraj
hawa kisi ne uda di ki mar gaya suraj

sahar hui nahin kab se guzishta sham ke baad
ghurub ho ki na jaane kidhar gaya suraj

saji hui hai sitaron ki anjuman ai dil
ki para para falak par bikhar gaya suraj

laga ki khinch li us ne zamin pairon se
laga ki talwon ko chhu kar guzar gaya suraj

ye kaisa jalwa ke binai lut gai meri
ki meri aankh ke andar utar gaya suraj

chhupa tha maslahatan sham se samet ke nur
muhib raat ye samjhi ki dar gaya suraj

shafaq tamam lahu-rang ho gaya lekin
hujum-e-gham se bahut pur-jigar gaya suraj

hamesha taj ka iqbaal yun buland raha
jidhar jidhar nazar aaya udhar gaya suraj
