hain jalwa-e-tan se dar-o-diwar basanti
poshak jo pahne hai mera yar basanti

kya fasl-e-bahaari ne shagufe hain khilae
mashuq hain phirte sar-e-bazar basanti

genda hai khila bagh mein maidan mein sarson
sahra wo basanti hai ye gulzar basanti

us rashk-e-masiha ka jo ho jae ishaara
aankhon se bane nargis-e-bimar basanti

gendon ke darakhton mein numayan nahin gende
har shakh ke sar par hai ye dastar basanti

munh zard dupatte ke na aanchal se chhupao
ho jae na rang-e-gul-e-rukhsar basanti

khilti hai mere shokh pe har rang ki poshak
udi, agari, champai, gulnar, basanti

hai lutf hasinon ki do-rangi ka 'amanat'
do chaar gulabi hon to do chaar basanti
