baad muddat ke teri yaad ke baadal barse
wo bhi aise ki kai roz musalsal barse

muntazir aur bhi sahra hain isi baadal ke
sirf tujh par hi bhala kaise ye har pal barse

pyas is shahr ki bujhne ka yahi rasta hai
ban ke baadal kisi darwesh ki chhagal barse

lag gai kis ki nazar shahr-e-nigaran ko mere
ab to har sham yahan wahshat-e-maqtal barse

kab ki pyasi hai zamin ye bhi nazar mein rakkhe
kah do baadal se zara der musalsal barse

lab-kusha ho ki mahak utthe faza ka ye sukut
muntazir kab se samaat hai ki sandal barse
