bahte dariyāoñ meñ paanī kī kamī dekhnā hai

umr bhar mujh ko yahī tishna-labī dekhnā hai

rañj dil ko hai ki jī bhar ke nahīñ dekhā tujhe

ḳhauf is kā thā jo ā.inda kabhī dekhnā hai

shab kī tārīkī dar-e-ḳhvāb hamesha ko band

chand din ba.ad to duniyā meñ yahī dekhnā hai

ḳhuun ke qatroñ ne tūfān uThā rakkhā hai

ab rag-o-pai meñ mujhe barf jamī dekhnā hai

kis tarah reñgne lagte haiñ ye chalte hue log

yaaro kal dekhoge yā aaj abhī dekhnā hai
