nae gagan mein naya soory jo chamak raha hai
yah vishaal bhookhand aaj jo damak raha hai
meree bhee aabha hai isamen
bheenee-bheenee khushaboovaale
rang-birange
yah jo itane phool khile hain
kal inako mere praanon me nahalaaya tha
kal inako mere sapanon ne sahalaaya tha
pakee sunahalee phasalon se jo
abakee yah khalihaal bhar gaya
meree rag-rag ke shonit kee boonden isamen musakaatee hain
nae gagan mein naya soory jo chamak raha hai
yah vishaal bhookhand aaj jo chamak raha hai
