aisa nahin salam kiya aur guzar gae

ab haqiqat lag raha hai mera afsana mujhe

hosh kho kar josh mein kuchh is tarah main bah gaya

teri surat mujhe batati hai

buz-dili to wo kar nahin sakta

wo yaqinan wali sifat hoga

koi karta hai jab hindostan ki baat a sahil

sab ke honTon pe wardat ke baad

meri aankhon mein hue raushan jo ashkon ke charagh

hum hain tahzib ke alam-bardar
