kisi rut mein jab muskuraata hai tu
numu pattharon mein jagata hai tu

tera shoala-e-nutq ruh-e-rawan
ufuq-ta-ufuq phail jata hai tu

kabhi kholta hai samundar ke raaz
kabhi ek qatra chhupata hai tu

kabhi gharq kar de safine hazar
kabhi ek kashti taraata hai tu

kabhi phunk de wadi-e-gul tamam
kabhi aag mein gul khilata hai tu

kabhi sharh-e-la-taqnatu ke liye
sarabon mein dariya bahata hai tu

gawara nahin tujh ko viraniyan
kharabon ko phir se basata hai tu

siyah sakht maujon ke aaseb mein
jazire dhanak rang ugata hai tu

tere izn se andhi aaankhon mein nur
kabhi khak mein ram jagata hai tu

kiran bhej kar ek zulmat ki
shahanshahon ko zalzalata hai tu

ujalon mein hain teri ranginiyan
andheron mein shamen jalata hai tu
