rawish-rawish hai wahi intizar ka mausam
nahin hai koi bhi mausam bahaar ka mausam

giran hai dil pe gham-e-rozgar ka mausam
hai aazmaish-e-husn-e-nigar ka mausam

khusha nazara-e-rukhsar-e-yar ki saat
khusha qarar-e-dil-e-be-qarar ka mausam

hadis-e-baada-o-saqi nahin to kis masraf
khiram-e-abr-e-sar-e-kohsar ka mausam

nasib-e-sohbat-e-yaran nahin to kya kije
ye raqs-e-saya-e-sarw-o-chinar ka mausam

ye dil ke dagh to dukhte the yun bhi par kam kam
kuchh ab ke aur hai hijran-e-yar ka mausam

yahi junun ka yahi tauq-o-dar ka mausam
yahi hai jabr yahi ikhtiyar ka mausam

qafas hai bas mein tumhaare tumhaare bas mein nahin
chaman mein aatish-e-gul ke nikhaar ka mausam

saba ki mast-khirami tah-e-kamand nahin
asir-e-dam nahin hai bahaar ka mausam

bala se hum ne na dekha to aur dekhenge
farogh-e-gulshan o saut-e-hazar ka mausam
