fazaon mein hai subh ka rang tari
gai hai abhi girls college ki lari

gai hai abhi gunjti gungunati
zamane ki raftar ka rag gati

lachakti hui si chhalakti hui si
bahakti hui si mahakti hui si

wo sadkon pe phulon ki dhaari si banti
idhar se udhar se hasinon ko chunti

jhalakte wo shishon mein shadab chehre
wo kaliyan si khulti hui munh andhere

wo mathe pe sadi ke rangin kinare
sahar se nikalti shafaq ke ishaare

kisi ki ada se ayan khush-mazaqi
kisi ki nigahon mein kuchh nind baqi

kisi ki nazar mein mohabbat ke dohe
sakhi ri ye jiwan piya bin na sohe

ye khidki ka rangin shisha girae
wo shishe se rangin chehra milae

ye chalti zamin pe nigahen jamati
wo honton mein apne qalam ko dabaati

ye khidki se ek hath bahar nikale
wo zanu pe girti kitaben sambhaale

kisi ko wo har bar tewari si chadhti
dukanon ke takhte adhure se padhti

koi ek taraf ko simatti hui si
kinare ko sadi ke batti hui si

wo lari mein gunje hue zamzame se
dabi muskurahat subuk qahqahe se

wo lahjon mein chandi khanakti hui si
wo nazron se kaliyan chatakti hui si

saron se wo aanchal dhalakte hue se
wo shanon se saghar chhalakte hue se

jawani nigahon mein bahki hui si
mohabbat takhayyul mein bahki hui si

wo aapas ki chheden wo jhute fasane
koi un ki baaton ko kaise na mane

fasana bhi un ka tarana bhi un ka
jawani bhi un ki zamana bhi un ka
