wo suraj ki pahli kiran le ke apne gharon se chale jab
to chehre gulabon ki surat khile the

jabinon pe sajdon ki tabindagi thi
libason ki shaistagi zeb-e-tan thi

nigahon mein shauq-e-safar ki chamak
aur qadmon mein thi aabshaaron ki masti

mujhe yun laga zindagi
aasmanon pe gaya hua git dohra rahi hai

sar-e-sham suraj ki dhalti kiran
sath apne liye jab gharon ko wo laute

to chehron ki lali
libason ki shaistagi mar chuki thi

nigahon mein gahri thakan thi
jo qadmon se takra rahi thi

mujhe yun laga zindagi
phir gunahon ki padash mein

aasman ki hadon se nikali gai hai
