kiran si ek andhere mein jhilmilai hai
ye kis ki chashm-e-sahar-khez muskurai hai

thahar nasim zara hum bhi sath chalte hain
gul-o-bahaar se apni bhi aashnai hai

junun ki rah mein rukte nahin hain diwane
farar ek dalil-e-shikasta-pai hai

ye jazb-e-dil ka asar hai ki ek tamasha hai
idhar huzur ka banda udhar khudai hai

gila kisi se na kar tere kuche tak saqi
hamein bhi gardish-e-dauran hi khinch lai hai

bujhe diyon ki zabanen dhuan ugalti hain
nai sahar ne saf-e-tirgi bichai hai

wahi gulon pe udasi wahi faza mein sukut
suna hai 'taj' chaman mein bahaar aai hai
