vaqt kī rāgnī giit gaatī rahī
aur maiñ giit kī dhun banātī rahī

barq thī gir ga.ī shaḳhs thā jal gayā
der tak raakh se aañch aatī rahī

hijr kī raat thī jāgnā shart thā
chāñdnī niiñd ke par banātī rahī

aap hī aap vo gungunātā rahā
aap hī aap maiñ muskurātī rahī

jal ga.ī maiñ magar dil jigar kab jale
aañch kī ik kamī sar uThātī rahī

kaam aulād ke sahl hote rahe
māmtā farz apnā nibhātī rahī

waqt ki ragni git gati rahi
aur main git ki dhun banati rahi

barq thi gir gai shaKHs tha jal gaya
der tak rakh se aanch aati rahi

hijr ki raat thi jagna shart tha
chandni nind ke par banati rahi

aap hi aap wo gungunata raha
aap hi aap main muskuraati rahi

jal gai main magar dil jigar kab jale
aanch ki ek kami sar uThati rahi

kaam aulad ke sahl hote rahe
mamta farz apna nibhati rahi
