Ek rangiin jhijhak ek saadaa payaam
kaise bhuuluun kisii kaa vo pahalaa salaam

phool rukhsaar ke rasmasaane lage
haath uthaa qadam dagmagaane lage

rang-saa Khaal-o-Khad se chhalakane lagaa
sar se rangiin aanchal Dhalakane lagaa

ajanabiyat nigaahen churaane lagii
din dhadakane lagaa lahar aane lagii

saans men ik gulaabii girah pad gaii
honth tharraaye simate nazar gad gaii

rah gayaa umr bhar ke liye ye hijaab
kyon na sambhalaa huaa de sakaa main javaab

kyon main be-qasd be-azm be-vaastaa
duusarii samt ghabaraa ke takane lagaa
