baadshahi ho ki daryuza-gari ka mausam
bhulta hi nahin wo ham-safari ka mausam

khetiyan chhaalon ki hoti thin lahu ugte the
kitna zarkhez tha wo dar-badari ka mausam

hirz-e-jaan thahre jo sahra mein thikana mil jae
bastiyon mein to hai aashufta-sari ka mausam

aao zakhmon se phir ek bar lipat kar ro len
warna aane ko hai ab bakhiya-gari ka mausam

roz-e-awwal se hai chhaya hua mujh par ab tak
kirchiyan hone ka shaqq-ul-bashari ka mausam

ab kabhi laut kar aaega na shayad 'ajiz'
dub kar pine ka daman ki tari ka mausam
