main ne sun rakkhi hai sahab ek kahani dariya ki
sham kinare baith ke ek din wo bhi zabani dariya ki

warna hum bhi aaine ke bhed se waqif ho jate
hum ne apni man-mani ki ek na mani dariya ki

ret ke chhote tukde par hi aabaadi maqsud hui
usi bahane chaaron jaanib hai sultani dariya ki

aankhen hi izhaar karen to shayad koi baat bane
suraj dhalte waqt jo dekhi thi virani dariya ki

subh-e-azal se ek hi jaise milte julte dariya hain
kis ne dekhi kis ne jaani shakl purani dariya ki

sat-samundar dekhne lag gae apne budhape ki jhuriyan
apne joban par jab aai shokh jawani dariya ki
