suraj ki taqsir

ek barābar aadmī sabhī ġharīb amiir

sadiyoñ pahle keh gayā baat ye ek faqīr

kaale gore ek sab aaj bane qānūn

sadiyoñ pahle ho chukī nāfiz ye tā'zīr

'ilm ne aaj auhām ko bātil diyā qarār

sadiyoñ pahle paḌh chukī duniyā ye tahrīr

DhūñDeñ ab tak falsafī hastī kā mafhūm

sadiyoñ pahle kar gayā ik ummī tafsīr

aaj kī baat ko har koī maane achchhī baat

sadiyoñ pahlī baat ko jāneñ sabhī haqīr

chamgādaḌ haiñ raas hai ham ko kaalī raat

'anjum' andhe aap ham sūraj kī taqsīr

ek barabar aadmi sabhi gharib amir

sadiyon pahle keh gaya baat ye ek faqir

kale gore ek sab aaj bane qanun

sadiyon pahle ho chuki nafiz ye ta'zir

'ilm ne aaj auham ko baatil diya qarar

sadiyon pahle paDh chuki duniya ye tahrir

DhunDen ab tak falsafi hasti ka mafhum

sadiyon pahle kar gaya ek ummi tafsir

aaj ki baat ko har koi mane achchhi baat

sadiyon pahli baat ko jaanen sabhi haqir

chamgadaD hain ras hai hum ko kali raat

'anjum' andhe aap hum suraj ki taqsir
