zamin par raushni hi raushni hai
khala mein ek kiran gum ho gai hai

main tanha ja raha hun su-e-manzil
ye parchhain kahan se aa rahi hai

ye sham aur raushni ki ye qataren
udasi aur gahri ho gai hai

uruj-e-mah hai aur maqbaron par
abad ki chandni chatki hui hai

ubhaar ai mauj-e-tufan-khez mujh ko
ye kashti ret mein dubi hui hai

hawa se hai kali jumban sar-e-shakh
ye kin hathon mein neze ki ani hai

gira hai shakh-e-gul se ek pata
kisi ne kya mujhe aawaz di hai
