ek wijdan ke bargad ke ghane ped tale
ek pal mund ke aankhen jo sameta khud ko

daman-e-waqt ki manind wo pal phail gaya
jism aur jaan zaman aur makan ek hue

khud chamakne laga tarik hijab
sat rangon mein wo tariki bati

aur un rangon ke dariyaon se
zohra nahid surayya ke mazamir ka naghma utha

be-karan nur mein ghul-mil gae saton dariya
tezi aisi ki hazaron khurshid

thandak aisi ki hazaron mahtab
be-karan nur ki tah mein jab utar kar khulin meri aankhen

tere aaghosh mein rakhe hue mein sar nazar aaya khud ko
be-karan nur teri aankhon mein paya main ne

aur is nur ki tah mein khud ko
