jiwan tapti rit ka thal
sone ka dhoka pital

tera badan aur taj mahal
sundarta ke do symbol

duniya hai ek andha kuan
chaaron or hai jal hi jal

dhup ne jhanka khidki se
mach gai kamre mein halchal

pap dhulenge donon se
madira ho ya ganga-jal

dekh na bhaari patthar phenk
dil hai nazuk shish-mahal

'raj' hamin ne chhalkaya
apne lahu se jam-e-ghazal
