ek faza shoKH si gungunane lagi

ik fazā shoḳh sī gungunāne lagī

man kī be-kal sī kaliyāñ khilāne lagī

bhāgtī manzileñ sochte rāste

ek an-thak thakan raas aane lagī

shoḳh naddī kī bahut huī rāgnī

dūdhiyā chāñdnī meñ nahāne lagī

ik tire nuur se hai munavvar fazā

ik tirī mohnī dil lubhāne lagī

sā.atoñ kī hasīñ champa.ī raushnī

nit nayā shoḳh jaadū jagāne lagī

phir kabhī yaad kī had bharī kāmnā

āhaToñ hī se dil ko lagāne lagī

shoḳh palkoñ pe ruktī huī ik namī

kuchh uchaTte ta.alluq nibhāne lagī

ruḳh badaltī huī be-ruḳhī āḳhirash

sāmne baiTh kar muskurāne lagī

ek faza shoKH si gungunane lagi

man ki be-kal si kaliyan khilane lagi

bhagti manzilen sochte raste

ek an-thak thakan ras aane lagi

shoKH naddi ki bahut hui ragni

dudhiya chandni mein nahane lagi

ek tere nur se hai munawwar faza

ek teri mohni dil lubhane lagi

saaton ki hasin champai raushni

nit naya shoKH jadu jagane lagi

phir kabhi yaad ki had bhari kaamna

aahaTon hi se dil ko lagane lagi

shoKH palkon pe rukti hui ek nami

kuchh uchaTte talluq nibhane lagi

ruKH badalti hui be-ruKHi aaKHirash

samne baiTh kar muskurane lagi
