raat din aag mein pala suraj

raat din aag meñ palā sūraj

ban charāġh-e-haram jalā sūraj

zindagī dhuup chhāñv donoñ hai

har kisī ko sikhā gayā sūraj

aaj jī bhar ke dhuup khānī hai

muddatoñ ba.ad hai ugā sūraj

sāñjh se ab visāl hone ko hai

sahmā sahmā thakā thakā sūraj

sāmnā pyaas se huā jab jab

aab kī samt chal paḌā sūraj

bhuul jā raat kā chubhā kāñTā

phuul ab to khilā gayā sūraj

koī maz.hab nahīñ lagā is kā

raushnī ik sī de gayā sūraj

nuur hī nuur hai mire andar

mujh meñ 'sīmā' samā gayā sūraj

raat din aag mein pala suraj

ban charagh-e-haram jala suraj

zindagi dhup chhanw donon hai

har kisi ko sikha gaya suraj

aaj ji bhar ke dhup khani hai

muddaton baad hai uga suraj

sanjh se ab visal hone ko hai

sahma sahma thaka thaka suraj

samna pyas se hua jab jab

aab ki samt chal paDa suraj

bhul ja raat ka chubha kanTa

phul ab to khila gaya suraj

koi mazhab nahin laga is ka

raushni ek si de gaya suraj

nur hi nur hai mere andar

mujh mein 'sima' sama gaya suraj
