rang-e-kaenat kaha gaya mujh ko
aankhon mein base khwabon se

phir mubarra kiya gaya mujh ko
zindagi bhar ki jo kamai thi

kuchh jo izzat kahin banai thi
chand lafzon se kuchh hiqarat se

tahi-daman kiya gaya mujh ko
kari kar ke sab zamane mein

khule sar barahna kiya gaya mujh ko
husn-e-zan se jo zindagi hai hasin

rangon se khuli dilkashi hai yahi
sinf-e-nazuk ki nazuki hai yahi

us ke khwabon ko ta'biren jo milin
zindagi ke sab zawiyon se pare

rang-e-gul yunhi bikhar jaenge
dukh sab sukh mein badal jaenge

kari na maregi koi bhi nari
zist rahegi na us pe bhaari

sinf-e-nazuk samajh kar na maro mujh ko
rang-e-gul hun main is gulistan ki

khwabon ki aankhon mein main bhi basti hun
zamin ki god se mera bhi rishta hai

khushbu ban kar hum ne yun bikharna hai
manind-e-sahar khud mein yun ubharna hai

rang-e-kaenat ban kar har zamane mein
khud hi apni misal banna hai
