kya kisi mai-kash ne mangi hai dua barsat ki
mai-kada-bardosh aati hai ghata barsat ki

kyon hawa bandhe na ab har parsa barsat ki
be-piye madhosh karti hai faza barsat ki

ek muddat se hamein bhula hua tha mai-kada
kuchh taqaza kar rahi hai phir hawa barsat ki

yun udaya ja raha tha mere rone ka mazaq
aaj us ne baat chhedi barha barsat ki

shaghl-e-mai-noshi hai jaez is liye barsat mein
kuchh to pina chahiye kha kar hawa barsat ki

dahr mein ye do hi chizen hain dalil-e-barshgal
ya hamari chashm-e-giryan ya ghata barsat ki

milti-julti hai hamari chashm-e-giryan se bahut
ek zara paband-e-mausam hai ghata barsat ki

sawan aate hi jo hum roe kisi ki yaad mein
ho gai 'sahir' yahin se ibtida barsat ki
