    ki in meñ ik harf bhī salāmat nahīñ milegā

    tamām ādarsh jal rahe haiñ

    aur in ke sho.aloñ raushnī meñ

    ajiib manzar ubhar rahā hai

    ki jin ki aawaz Das rahi hai

    aur us ke pichhe

    wo dur KHalwat mein ruh kis ki taras rahi hai

    yahi wo aurat hai

    jis ki aankhon ko chumne ki sitare hasrat karen to roen

    apne KHalwat-kade mein kis ko bula rahi hai

    ye kis ko aansu dikha rahi hai
