tagore jin gulon mein hai ab shumar tera
muddat se un gulon ko tha intizar tera

lekin payam-e-furqat afsos jab se aaya
ek aalam-e-tafakkur hindostan pe chhaya

is ke dil-e-hazin ka tha tu habib baqi
ek tu hi rah gaya tha is mai-kade ka saqi

tuti si ek mina ab tujh ko ro rahi hai
ro ro ke munh wo apna ashkon se dho rahi hai

mulk-e-sukhan ka tujh sa farman-rawa na dekha
duniya-e-shairi ka tujh sa khuda na dekha

dhunda karengi tujh ko hasrat bhari nigahen
jaengi sath tere is desh ki duaen

kuchh bebasi ka aalam gar ai khuda na hota
tagore is tarah se hum se juda na hota
