Jhuk jata hai nidhaal sa hokar sar-e-nayaaz,
shiddat pazeer hoti hai jab marhalon ki dhoop.

Tumhare aariz-e-gulgoon ki fikr hai mujhko,
hawas ki dhoop kadi hai zara thahar jao.

Chehre par hain bikhri zulfen,
“raat ka suraj” dhoop ugaaye.

Udti thee khak khushk tha chashm-e-hayaat ka,
khaula hua tha dhoop se paani faraat ka.
