baadal garaj raha hai bijli chamak rahi hai
pur-kaif hain fazaen har shai damak rahi hai

baad-e-khunuk chaman mein bal kha ke chal rahi hai
barg-e-hina ki rangat pahlu badal rahi hai

chehre pe yasiyat ke nur-e-shabab chhaya
makhmal ka sabz qalin fitrat ne yun bichhaya

mayus har shajar ne badla libas apna
har murgh-e-khush-nawa ne chheda naya tarana

nikli sada-e-bulbul koyal ki kuk gunji
chidiyon ki chahchahahat lutf-e-hayat lai

tezi mein aa gai hai dariyaon ki rawani
maidan khet basti har samt pani pani

chashme ubal rahe hain nahren shabab par hain
naghmat-e-naujawani chang-o-rubab par hain

phulon se aur phalon se shakh-e-shajar ladi hai
ushshaq ke dilon mein uljhan si pad gai hai

sarsabz ho gaya hai viran sara jangal
jangal mein mach gaya hai har-su khushi ka mangal

khushbu-e-jaan-faza se har jaanwar magan hai
un ke rag-e-amal mein wo josh maujzan hai

inam-e-be-baha hai qudrat ka ye nazara
'sahil' sukun-e-dil hai fitrat ka ye nazara
