pahle khud ko jalaega suraj
phir kahin jagmagaega suraj

lamha lamha karega ek jagah
aur sadiyan banega suraj

mere aansu na pi saka ab tak
yun to dariya sikhaega suraj

bahte pani mein jhank lene do
khud-bakhud dagmagae suraj

zulf lahra ke mat chalo din mein
rasta bhul jaega suraj

chal ke nudrat-'nawaz' ke ghar tak
jaane kis roz aaega suraj
