ek andhera aankh jhapak kar lakh andhere lae
chand ki nazren dipak par hain dipak jalta jae

ban-basi jogi matwala rag anokhe gae
patthar ke sine ka sapna sanp bane bal khae

purab ki badmast hawa rahon pe phan phailae
ang ang dikhla kar nagin lapak lapak lahrae

dipak-rag koi sulga kar hirdai aag lagae
mandir jal kar rakh bane aur purab ko ud jae

purab ke gul-buton par bhi ek naya rang aae
sat rang ki sat zaminen sat samundar lae

koi kare jiwan ujyara koi to rup dikhae
nain ki nirmal nazuk nayya be-sudh nir bahae

kisi ki aas pe sanjh sawere kaun kinare aae
chand ki nazren dipak par hain dipak jalta jae

ek andhera aankh jhapak kar lakh andhere lae
