tare

aakash ke nile mandal par jo taron ki gul-kari hai
saj us ki kya man-lewa hai dhaj kaisi pyari pyari hai
aur kahkashan jo bich mein hai wo phulon ki phulwari hai
kya nikhra nikhra gulshan hai kya pyari pyari kyari hai


tasnim nikal kar kausar se firdaus ke andar sari hai
ya samjho dudh batashon ki aakas pe ganga jari hai
aur tare jab is sagar par kuchh hanste hanste aate hain
munh nur se apna dhote hain aur khaliq ke gun gate hain


kya jagmag jagmag karti hain qindilen in mah-paron ki
kya jot jhala-jhal hoti hai in sundar rup sitaron ki
mat dane dunke jaan inhen ye hat nahin banjaron ki
ye hire jham jham karte hain mat bujh chita angaron ki


kya nuri nuri mashal hain in pyare pyare taron ki
kya jhilmil jhilmil karti hain fanusen shab-bedaron ki
kya rup anup muzayyan hai jo mahfil ko dikhlate hain
jhumka ka rang shabistan ka sab khaliq ke gun gate hain
