mausam hai bahaaron ka har ek zakhm hara hai
ehsas-e-gham-e-soz-e-darun jag utha hai

badh jae na betabi-e-dil sabr ki had se
guzre hue lamhon ne tumhein yaad kiya hai

badmast fazaon mein bikharti hui khushbu
ai dost ye shayad tere aane ka pata hai

ek tum se hi dil ko mere mil jati hai dhaaras
warna yahan har shakhs bahut mujh se khafa hai

apnon ne hi di hai mujhe har mod pe thokar
nazuk tha mera shisha-e-dil tut gaya hai

ab bhul gaya aariz-o-lab gesu-o-abru
honton ka tabassum tere bas yaad raha hai

sunte hain siyah-raaton mein lute gae sab log
'bismil' to magar din ke ujale mein luta hai
