Rangon men rang to na safed hai na hi siyaah

Rangon men rang to na safed hai na hi siyaah
Phir, dhanak ho haseen aasmaan men kyon na

Khudaya banaya tha tu ne jab farishte ko shaitan
Phir woh mubtala ho yaan ghaban men kyon na

Shaitaan o farishta donon hain man men sab ke jab
To insan phir doobe kabhi paagalpan men kyon na

Qafas ho khula aur andaleeb ho ghayab, to phir
Batao fasurdagi ka aalaam ho gulshan men kyon na

Jab ek taazagi hai ‘sahil’ kalaam men tere, to phir
Suney kyon na bulbul aur gul chaman men kyon na
