rah sunsan kadi dhup pighalte sae
jism se lipti hui ruh kahan tak jae

sham tak phir mere qadmon mein girega suraj
din mein kitni hi bulandi pe ye par phailae

sang-rezon pe utarti hai kiran ki dewi
rang kohsar ke mukhde ka nikharta jae

dur kohsar ke daman mein khada ek shajar
kitni bisri hui yaadon ki sada dohrae

saikdon naqsh ubharne ko hain bechain magar
in riwayat ke patthar ko koi pighlae
