tamam auraq shabnamistan-e-sahar ki kirnon se jagmagae
tulua hoti hai subh jaise kali tamanna ki muskurae

kahin darakhton mein ghol chidiya ka baith kar chahchaha raha hai
kahin se toton ka jhund uttha faza-e-gulshan mein ghul machae

sadak jo aati hai chhawni se chahal-pahal us pe khub hi hai
nikal ke gunjaan bastiyon se bara-e-tafrih sab hain aae

usi pe aata hai ek motor bhi dak-khane ki dak lene
usi pe jate hain kuchh dehati ladi hui gadiyan hakae

tahalne jati hain ladkiyan kuchh hasin phulon ki kyariyon mein
nigah-jadu shabab-jadu jo aankh dale wo lut hi jae

idhar se ganga ko ja rahe hain kuchh aadmi chhagalen sambhaale
udhar se ganga se aa rahi hai kuchh aurten nur mein nahae

udhar se collage ki ek ladki bhi apne collage ko ja rahi hai
kitab dabe qadam badhae shabab thame nazar jhukae

udhar se ek naujawan lady nae khayalon ki aa rahi hai
nigah-e-raqsan shabab uryan jo is ko dekhe wo muskurae

udhar se shair 'nushur'-e-hairan bhi apni sairon mein ja raha hai
qadam takhayyul mein dagmagae nae shababon se chot khae
