ras-bhare hont
phul se halke

jaise billor ki surahi mein
baada-e-atishin-nafs chhalke

jaise nargis ki gol aankhon se
ek shabnam ka arghawan qatra

shafaq-e-subh se darakhshanda
dhire dhire sambhal sambhal dhalke

ras-bhare hont yun larazte hain!
yun larazte hain jis tarah koi

raat din ka thaka hua rahi
panw chhalni nigah mutazalzal

waqt sahra-e-be-karan ki jahan
sang-e-manzil-numa na aaj na kal

dafatan dur! dur aankh se dur
shafaq-e-sham ki siyahi mein

qalb ki aarzu-nigahi mein
farsh se arsh tak jhalak utthe

ek dhoka sarab manb-e-nur!
ras-bhare hont dekh kar 'tasir'

raat din ke thake hue rahi
yun taraste hain, yun larazte hain!
