masail sar uthae chal rahe hain
bhari barsat mein hum jal rahe hain

hum aise sokhta-dil log barson
kisi ki aankh ka kajal rahe hain

hujum-e-fasal-e-gul hai phir bhi hum log
abhi kanton pe jaise chal rahe hain

na jaane kitne shishe ke makan mein
abhi farhad-o-majnun pal rahe hain

tamannaon ki manzil tak bahut se
hamari rah mein maqtal rahe hain

kabhi hum rang-o-khushbu ban ke 'fakhir'
kisi ke jism ka sandal rahe hain
