mausam aisa ho jata hai manzar aisa ho jata hai
dariya bahta dariya logo patthar aisa ho jata hai

log gharon mein rahte rahte be-ghar bhi to ho jate hain
aksar yun bhi ho jata hai aksar aisa ho jata hai

hu-ya-hu ke tar bajen to duniya chham-chham nach uthti hai
is lamha to har insan qalandar aisa ho jata hai

ek mausam jo aankh ke andar raushaniyan si bhar deta hai
aakhir aankh bujha deta hai kafir aisa ho jata hai

dard ka mausam jab khulta hai barish aisi ho jati hai
dil ka khali sahra sabz samundar aisa ho jata hai

nigah hasin agar ho 'shaukat' hur ke jauhar khul jate hain
jhut ka chehra ibn-e-sad ke lashkar aisa ho jata hai
