aaj jis vaqt mujhe tum ne jagaaya ammaan
apane aur neend ke pahaloo se uthaaya ammaan
aasamaan kamalee tha odhe hue kaalee kaalee
taazagee aur safedee se faza thee khaalee
na andhera hee tha shab ka na ujaala din ka
raat ke gird nazar aata tha haala din ka
ek bulandee kee kadak pastee ko dhundalaatee thee
dil hilaatee huee aavaaz sunee jaatee thee
subh har chaar taraf rotee huee phiratee thee
apana munh aansuon se dhotee huee phiratee thee
jaise nanha sa main beta hoon tumhaara ammaan
aise hee subh ka ik laal hai pyaara ammaan
jaise main khelane jaata hoon bahut door kaheen
aise hee sharq mein hai aaj vo mastoor kaheen
kho gaya hai nazar aata nahin bachcha us ka
dhoondhatee laakh hai paata nahin bachcha us
ka dekho to subh ka dil sard hai be-noor hai aankh
apane bachcha ke tasavvur hee se maamoor hai aankh
mujh ko jaane do ki main dhoond ke laoon us ko
gam-zada subh ke pahaloo mein bithaoon us ko
