waqt ki shakl mein chalta hai jo suraj hi to hai
raat ko din mein badalta hai jo suraj hi to hai

hain ayan ret ke dariyao mein partaw us ke
qatra-e-ab mein dhalta hai jo suraj hi to hai

ghaiz ye kis ka hai pani ke azabon mein nihan
kohsaron ko nigalta hai jo suraj hi to hai

chehra-e-subh bhi wo sham bhi wo raat bhi wo
roz lamhon mein pighalta hai jo suraj to hai

chaudhwin shab ko ujalon se saja deta hai kaun
ban ke mahtab nikalta hai jo suraj hi to hai

raushni hi to har ek zist ka masdar hai 'miraq'
bin dikhe sanson mein jalta hai jo suraj hi to hai
