ghubar-e-waqt mein ab kis ko kho rahi hun main
ye barishon ka hai mausam ki ro rahi hun main

ye chand pura tha be-ikhtiyar ghatne laga
ye kya maqam hai kam-umr ho rahi hun main

is abr-e-baran mein manzar barasne lagte hain
baras rahi hai ghata baal dho rahi hun main

main gard-baad ka ek sar-phira bagula thi
khalaen odh ke ru-posh ho rahi hun main

ye sham waqt se pahle chhupa na de suraj
sunahri dhup mein chunari bhigo rahi hun main

udas os mein gum-gashta aansuon ki kasak
larazti kanpti mala piro rahi hun main

khala mein kho gain baaten hansi ki aawazen
sukhan-shikasta hun alfaz kho rahi hun main

main ji rahi hun ya jine ka wahm hai mujh ko
na-jaane jag rahi hun ki so rahi hun main

ye zard sham jo suraj ganwae baithi hai
'sahar' sitara-e-aflak ho rahi hun main
