kahin bahaar kahin par khizan ka mausam hai
tamam shahr mein sud-o-ziyan ka mausam hai

na ras aaegi hum ko abhi ye aab-o-hawa
jahan ke hum hain nazar mein wahan ka mausam hai

hawa ki zid bhi wahi hai diye ki zid bhi wahi
ajab hikayat-e-shab-zad-gan ka mausam hai

kadakti bijliyan abr-e-siyah barish-e-sang
zamin se kah do abhi aasman ka mausam hai

faza mein itr si khushbu ghulegi aur abhi
abhi fasana-e-dil-dad-gan ka mausam hai

chhalak rahe hain sabhi dard mehrban ho kar
uthao hath ki aazar-e-jaan ka mausam hai

ab is ke baad zamin rafta rafta hogi siyah
abhi hai surkh ki ye kushtagan ka mausam hai

yaqin hai ki nae barg-o-bar aaenge
yaqin ke shahr mein ab ke guman ka mausam hai

nigah-e-shab mein shab-e-raftagan guzar aae
nigah-e-subh mein aaindagan ka mausam hai
