ai parinde tu hai apni aag mein jalta hua

dur se lekin dhuan uThta nazar aata nahin

aisa lagta hai ki hain shole faza mein har taraf

aasman nila magar dhundla nazar aata nahin

kuchh pata chalta nahin ye sard hai ki garm hai

tere dil ki aag ki lau saKHt hai ki narm hai

kaTti hai dil ke shishe ko ye hire ki tarah

jhilmilati hai samundar mein jazire ki tarah

kashtiyon ke baadban chalte hain is ko dekh kar

aur sitare raat bhar jalte hain is ko dekh kar

phul bhi sham-o-sahar Darte nahin is aag se

raqs ki apne banate hain wo lai is rag se

ai parinde main kisi din pas tere aaunga

aur teri jalti hui is aag mein jal jaunga
