koyal nin aa ke kuk sunai basant rut
baurae khas-o-am ki aai basant rut

wo zard-posh jis kun bhar aaghosh mein liya
goya ki tab gale sin lagai basant rut

wo zard-posh jis ka ki gun gawte hain hum
shokhi nin us ki nach nachai basant rut

ghunche nin is bahaar mein kadwaya apna dil
bulbul chaman mein phul ke gai basant rut

tesu ke phul dashna-e-khuni hue use
birhan ke ji kun hai ye kasai basant rut

gae hindol aaj kalawant khulas khulas
har tan bich kya ke phulai basant rut

bulbul hua hai dekh sada rang ki bahaar
is sal 'abru' kun ban aai basant rut
