Gulon ne chadar-e-shabnam se munh lapet liya,
labon pe so gayee kaliyon ki muskurahat bhi.

Khilna kam-kam kali ne seekha hai
uski aankhon ki neem khwabi se

Kali udaas hai kyon phool sookh jata hai,
hawa ki qatra-e-shabnam ise jalata hai.

Kaha usne gulka hai kitna sabaat,
kali ne yeh sunkar tabassum kiya.

Kali koi jahan pe khil rahi hai,
wahin ik phool bhi murjha raha hai.
